U.S. health advisers endorsed a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson on Friday, putting the nation on the cusp of adding an easier-to-use option to fight the pandemic.
The acting head of the Food and Drug Administration said in a statement that the agency will move quickly to follow the recommendation, which would make J&J’s shot the third vaccine authorized for emergency use in the U.S.

I think you may be right, and I’ve also read that it does not involve aborted fetuses. Will need to confirm. That said, I’m sticking w my HCQ+zinc + HCQ+zinc+ various vitamin supplements which has kept me and my very socially active family (approx 20 people) healthy since April 2020.
This is a vaccine Russian roulette—be very careful before pulling the trigger...

That issue is a concern for me as well. I did a quick search, and could find no definitive answer. Maybe that’s because the J&J vaccine is relatively new.
But I did read an article that seemed to imply that the J&J vaccine used a cell line that came from a Dutch unborn child who was aborted about 50 years ago. I don’t know what to make of that.
you’re correct ... doesn’t involve synthetic rMNA ... this is in fact more akin to a conventional killed, non-replicating virus vaccine ... the main difference is that that spike-protein genes are spliced into a non-replicating “vector” virus, namely human Adeno-26 virus ... the body reacts to this virus by making antibodies (and T-cell memory) to this virus, including the spliced in covid spike protein DNA ...
mRNA ...
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines used that cell line for testing, but the are not produced using abortion derived human cell cultures. (I think they're produced using genetically-engineered bacteria, but I may be wrong.)
The Johnson&Johnson vaccine made use of fetal stem cells during development and testing. There’s no fetal stem cells in the product (there wouldn’t be any reason for that), but they’re morally tainted.
If you’re Roman Catholic, the Vatican has essentially given a blank moral check for Catholics that take these based on the 2005 “Moral Reflections on Vaccines Prepared from Cells Derived from Aborted Human Foetuses” statement.
If you’re looking for something less ethically concerning, Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax all have good products. Novavax should be approved in the next couple months or so.
Pfizer and Moderna did NO testing using fetal stem cells. The FDA requires that before you can submit your vaccine candidate for approval or authorization (depending on which track you're on), you must provide your product to a third party for independent testing. The third parties that did testing for Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines used fetal stem cells.
Pfizer and Moderna had no control over this (hence: INDEPENDENT testing). Because of agreements with President Trump's administration, they had already mass produced their products before that testing even happened. So everything was developed and produced ethically, doses were sitting in vials in freezers ready to ship with zero fetal stem cell involvement, then somebody else took some and did testing using fetal stem cells.
It'd be like taking some Tylenol off the shelf today and using fetal stem cells to test whether it's safe. Would doing so taint all the Tylenol every produced? No, that would be ridiculous.
