You’ve provided no FDA links for ingredients lists for any vaccines containing fetal stem cells.

I fully support your right to make your own choices about which vaccines you want to get; if any. Don’t want a particular vaccine? Don’t get it. Don’t want any of them? Totally fine. I’ll never argue against your right to make your own decisions about what’s best for your own health and safety.

However, when you make false claims in an attempt to dissuade others from making the choice they want to make, I take issue with that. Just as you have every right to make your choices, so does everyone else. And to do so, they have a right to accurate information about their options.

Johnson & Johnson and Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine candidates utilized fetal stem cells during their research and development. Many of the ~200 different vaccine candidates also did so. Moderna and Pfizer did not. And NO vaccines anywhere have fetal stem cells in the dose that gets injected into people or inhaled by people. They would serve no purpose. They would have no function. There would be no reason to have them in there. Fetal stem cells are used in the R&D because they’re the quick and easy way to do testing and culture pathogen samples. They have NOTHING to do with manufacturing of a product.

I agree with you that they should never be used at any stage of the process. There are alternative means to do all the R&D necessary through ethical means. It may be more complex to do so and it may take a little longer to do so, but it’s worth it to escape the moral and ethical issues of using fetal stem cells. I’m on board with banning their use entirely.

But we need to tell the truth about when and how they’re used.
