What? This is common knowledge;...

Only among folks obviously dedicated to the subject or virologists involved in their making. As a family practice doc, egg allergy and the fact that most vaccines are still made with the help of chicken eggs is more practical to remember.

Someone has a pro-life ping list and probably could list articles, I’ll spend a few minutes on it, it’s 11 pm.

I got the impression that you were signing off. That was quite a mistake. Thanks for the links. Tracing the history of WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, I found this:

MORAL REFLECTIONS ON VACCINES PREPARED FROM CELLS DERIVED FROM ABORTED HUMAN FOETUSES

Here are some excerpts:

To date, there are two human diploid cell lines which were originally prepared from tissues of aborted foetuses ( in 1964 and 1970) and are used for the preparation of vaccines based on live attenuated virus: the first one is the WI-38 line (Winstar[Wistar is the correction needed. It's not Winstar.] Institute 38), with human diploid lung fibroblasts, coming from a female foetus that was aborted because the family felt they had too many children (G. Sven et al., 1969). It was prepared and developed by Leonard Hayflick in 1964 (L. Hayflick, 1965; G. Sven et al., 1969)3 and bears the ATCC number CCL-75. WI-38 has been used for the preparation of the historical vaccine RA 27/3 against rubella (S.A. Plotkin et al, 1965)4. The second human cell line is MRC-5 (Medical Research Council 5) (human, lung, embryonic) (ATCC number CCL-171), with human lung fibroblasts coming from a 14 week male foetus aborted for "psychiatric reasons" from a 27 year old woman in the UK. MRC-5 was prepared and developed by J.P. Jacobs in 1966 (J.P. Jacobs et al, 1970)5. Other human cell lines have been developed for pharmaceutical needs, but are not involved in the vaccines actually available6.

The vaccines that are incriminated today as using human cell lines from aborted foetuses, WI-38 and MRC-5, are the following:7

"A) Live vaccines against rubella8 :

- the monovalent vaccines against rubella Meruvax®!! (Merck) (U.S.), Rudivax® (Sanofi Pasteur, Fr.), and Ervevax® (RA 27/3) (GlaxoSmithKline, Belgium);

- the combined vaccine MR against rubella and measles, commercialized with the name of M-R-VAX® (Merck, US) and Rudi-Rouvax® (AVP, France);

- the combined vaccine against rubella and mumps marketed under the name of Biavax®!! (Merck, U.S.),

- the combined vaccine MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) against rubella, mumps and measles, marketed under the name of M-M-R® II (Merck, US), R.O.R.®, Trimovax® (Sanofi Pasteur, Fr.), and Priorix® (GlaxoSmithKline UK).

B) Other vaccines, also prepared using human cell lines from aborted foetuses:

- two vaccines against hepatitis A, one produced by Merck (VAQTA), the other one produced by GlaxoSmithKline (HAVRIX), both of them being prepared using MRC-5;

- one vaccine against chicken pox, Varivax®, produced by Merck using WI-38 and MRC-5;

- one vaccine against poliomyelitis, the inactivated polio virus vaccine Poliovax® (Aventis-Pasteur, Fr.) using MRC-5;

- one vaccine against rabies, Imovax®, produced by Aventis Pasteur, harvested from infected human diploid cells, MRC-5 strain;

- one vaccine against smallpox, AC AM 1000, prepared by Acambis using MRC-5, still on trial.

They still have two cell lines from one therapeutic and another one elective abortion since about 40 years ago.

--Snip--

Moreover, we find, in such a case, a. proportional reason, in order to accept the use of these vaccines in the presence of the danger of favouring the spread of the pathological agent, due to the lack of vaccination of children. This is particularly true in the case of vaccination against German measles15.

IMHO, you can only take a pass on Hepatitis A and chicken pox vaccines. They are self limiting diseases, the former avoided by common hygiene regulations and the latter justified only by parents staying home with a sick kid.

Coleus, this this a courtesy ping for the Vatican link.

Except, autism is also linked with increase head circumferance in fetuses...before any vaccines were ever administered. How is that correlation explained away?

Saw this story this am. Said the girl got 9 vaccines in one day. I don’t know if that would be a cause of autism but it sure seems risky!

“Only among folks obviously dedicated to the subject”

I guess you’re right, sorry if I sounded presumptuous. I have been involved with many prolife groups for years and get tons of different newsletters and magazines. I also worked in the 1980-90’s for biotech companies with pharma clients. Our work did not relate directly to vaccines, but probably I have been exposed to more of these concepts than the “average” person, I’ve worked with lots of genetic and molecular scientists, etc. Hopefully more people will find out. Thanks.

Make sure you get the 2 or 3 coerced shots into that baby when he’s born, and stay on that schedule the pharmaceuticals coerce-er, request, and by the time that child’s 3, noone will be able to blame the vaccines for anyone’s abnormal development or health conditions.
