In an article published last year, M.I.T.-trained scientist Fr. Nicanor Austriaco passed along speculation that the HEK-293 cell line may have been developed using tissue from a miscarriage. This cell line is in the news because it has played a role in the development and/or testing of the three vaccines currently authorized for emergency use for COVID-19.
The point of Fr. Austriaco’s conjecture, I presume, was to reduce worry that this cell line started with an abortion. But worry we should.
This conjecture seems to have become a full-fledged rumor. In recent months, many Catholics and other Christians have cited that rumor when defending these vaccines.
But the rumor, to put it bluntly, is nonsense.
There’s nothing in the scientific literature dealing with this claim, and for good reason. No competent biologist would even try to establish a living cell line from dead tissue.
This fact becomes clear when we examine two things:

there is neither informed consent taken,
nor Koch’s postulates used.
instead, royalties flow to CDC and FauXi to
augment their treason payments without accountability.
How do we know they were ‘carefully planned’ and not forcibly hasty?
"preserve the integity of the tissue"; but not to preserve the life of the baby.
And we complain about Red China's organ harvesting of living humans.
Luciferase
And all the covidiot vaxxers want us to be forced to participate in their sins with them.
Nope.
“How do we know they were ‘carefully planned’ and not forcibly hasty?”
Indeed.....Why do authors with an obvious opinion feel the need to insert their speculative incendiary verbiage when the straight reporting of their apparently valid assertion is quite sufficient to make their point.
It is all clear to me, Judgement is upon us. Next step, brought to our knees as a nation with no one to turn to...bright side? Revival.
thanks for posting, et. it’s for the children. these monsters. sheesh.
“speculation”. “may have”. This is how the Fake News covered Trump.
Why is necessary to use fetal tissue in the first place?
Why do we continue to kill the unborn to justify science???
Using any part of an abortion should be outlawed....
Because they know the anti vaxxers are not looking for the truth. They are just looking for confirmation of their biases. Anything that causes outrage while confirming their held beliefs will be accepted without question.
I have read that the Covid vaccines were tested used the HEK293 cell line which purportedly grown from a fetal kidney taken from an 1973 abortion in the Netherlands. The vaccines don’t contain these cells, but they were tested on them.
And we complain about Red China’s organ harvesting of living humans.
We’re doing the same thing....just with our tiniest ones :-(
There are 5 common vaccines that use HEK 293 cells:
1. CanSino Biologics, Inc./Beijing Institute of Biotechnology
2.University of Oxford/AstraZeneca
3.Janssen Research & Development USA
4.University of Pittsburgh
5.ImmunityBio/NantKwest Ref:Abortion opponents protest COVID-19 vaccines’ use of fetal cellsScience Jun 5 2020
Neither of the two common vaccines, Moderna, or Pfizer use HEK 293 cell in their production.
Not sure about Johnson and Johnson.
Looks like you didn’t even read the article.
Because their one time professional ethics have gone out the window. They now see themselves as propagandists and have no shame.
HEK-1 of HEK-293 came from a historically well documented historical abortion in the netherlands. the tissue was taken by a professor Van Der Eb studying cancer and cancer treatments. a student of his did the actual experiments, Dr. Frank Graham, to engineer the cell line viable for lab experimentation. Van Der Eb admitted he knew it was from an abortion. he didn’t know the reason for the abortion, but abortion was illegal at that time in the netherlands according to my personal research. Alvin Wong’s paper for the Catholic Bioethics, no less, confirms the origin of the cell line. good discussion of Catholic ethics on the matter in the paper by Wong.
Johnson and Johnson does contain the cell lines.
Moderna and Pfizer do not, but were tested using the fetal cell lines.
All are tainted by the deliberate murder of a baby girl.
Sleep on that.
