See above. This game is literally social media “gotcha” garbage.
The HEK293 line was obtained from an abortion done in 1972. Aspirin, Tylenol and many of the other things there long predate that cell line.
The game the hospital is playing is trying to use the fact that new experiments have been done on HEK293 cells with preexisting substances like aspirin and Tylenol.
Pfizer and Moderna used the HEK293 in the actual testing and development phase of the new vaccines (but not the manufacture). The hospital is trying to equate the two things, but they aren’t the same.
I found the source article at https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/hospital-staff-must-swear-off-tylenol-tums-to-get-religious-vaccine-exemption/
I’d like to see that form that employees are being asked to sign. Sounds like a land mine for the employer.
