The letter states:
It is critically important that Americans have access to a vaccine that is produced ethically: no American should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus and violating his or her conscience. [Emphasis added]
The letter then pointed out that completely ethical alternatives were available:
Fortunately, there is no need to use ethically problematic cell lines to produce a COVID vaccine, or any vaccine, as other cell lines or processes that do not involve cells from abortions are available and are regularly being used to produce other vaccines. [Emphasis added]
The letter concluded with a solemn request to the FDA Commissioner:
Commissioner Hahn, we urgently and respectfully implore you to not only ensure that Americans will have access to a COVID vaccine that is free of ethical concerns, but to encourage and incentivize pharmaceutical companies to use only ethical cell lines or processes for producing vaccines. [Emphasis added]

We live in a day in which many in the hierarchy have justified the most outrageous violations of the moral law and timeless Catholic doctrine in the name of “conscience.” Now, on a question that is deeply dependent on both moral and prudential truths, many in the hierarchy — in direct violation of Catholic teaching and the Vatican itself — are denying Catholics the right of conscience. That’s a right they explicitly affirmed last year, and which they so often affirm for the most brazen heretics. They deny conscience in the name of temporal bodily health, while affirming it to excuse eternal spiritual death.

Plenty of “Christian” posters here ignore the aborted babies just so they can live another day or go on cruises. Yet call themselves pro-life.
Too many people did not look into this, or rationalize the use of fetal cells in the development, manufacturing, or testing of the vaxxes.
It’s a test. They failed.
