Could a much-delayed COVID-19 shot finally win over religious vaccine skeptics?
That’s the question swirling around a vaccine made by Novavax, a Maryland biotech firm that submitted its request to the US Food and Drug Administration last month for emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 shot, also known as NVX-CoV2373.
Although more than a year behind competitors such as Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, which were both cleared for emergency use in late 2020, Novavax’s two-dose vaccine has already been approved for use in other countries such as the UK, and the company hopes to aid global inoculation efforts.
But Novavax may have another unusual selling point: the potential to woo vaccine skeptics who reject other widely available vaccines because of distant links to abortion they say violate their morals and their faith.
“No human fetal-derived cell lines or tissue, including HEK293 cells, are used in the development, manufacture or production of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373,” a Novavax spokesperson told Religion News Service via email.
About 64 percent of the US population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of February 18, with 28 percent having received an additional booster shot, according to The New York Times.
Public health experts say the unvaccinated population is harboring vaccine hesitancy or outright anti-vaccine sentiment, some of it driven by faith. According to a December 2021 survey by Public Religion Research Institute and the Interfaith Youth Core, 10 percent of Americans say they believe getting a COVID-19 vaccine conflicts with their religious beliefs.
Among their objections is that in developing or testing their vaccines, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson all used cell lines in various ways that trace their origins to aborted fetuses from the 1970s and 1980s. The most commonly used in medical laboratories are known as HEK293 and PER.C6.

Why can’t I just say no? Why do I need a reason? My body, my choice. Nuremburg trials.
People I still do not trust wanting me to do something….
Christianity Today lies again. Novavax used fetal cells in testing: https://www.crisismagazine.com/2021/are-abortion-free-covid-19-vaccines-on-the-way
Oh, really? Where can I find the 10-year long-term cross-sectional study? I'd like to read it!
Regards,
too late.
don’t think any vaxxes have any use now.
They are lying.
It could, technically, but probably won’t.
Typical liberal response.
They cannot ever admit they were wrong, so instead they double down and claim that if the do more of it, better, harder, then it will work the next time.
Not realizing that doing more of what didn’t work the first time is going to not work more, too, no matter how many times they do it.
I DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE RPEATEDLY LIED ABOUT CRITICAL THINGS.
THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TRUSTED ON ANYTHING.
THEY ARE NOT/HAVE NEVER BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT ANYONES ACTUAL HEALTH.
“Their desperation for me to get a shot is repellent in and of itself.”
The harder they try the more we think there’s something in it for them, and it isn’t because they’ve been praying for us.
Yep.
Omicron- God’s vaccine.
Well said in post 15.
Won’t you please just bow to our ethical and effective immunity idol?

This source on page 9 says Novavax is tainted, as bad as Pfizer and modeRNA.

How was it tested? Fetal cell line?
According to the document posted in post 35 they used HEK-293 to test the vaccine.
It also doesn’t work.
No, they’re closing doors to “no”, not trying to convince anyone.
This closes a major loophole for them.
Bottom line, they care about nothing other than getting this crap in as many people as possible.
COVID, if it was ever anything, is long gone... but they’re still pushing. That is just plain creepy.
Just had a random thought... if the original vax’s were tested using fetal cells and spike protein’s effect on them, how exactly am I to conclude that this vax didn’t piggyback off that data?
I am sure it did. Just because they’re not the actual guys that did the deed means nothing.
