Obama Admin backing Ebola vaccines using aborted baby cell lines
Life Site News ^ | October 15, 2014 | John Henry Westen

The Obama Administration has chosen to back Ebola vaccines made using cell lines cultivated from aborted babies, despite the fact that the government itself acknowledged that moral alternatives could also be used, according to a pro-life organization that specializes in advocating for morally produced vaccines.  

Children of God for Life says it has discovered that several Ebola vaccines in development for use worldwide are being made using the aborted fetal cell lines.

The proof of the use of the controversial cell lines in the manufacture of the vaccines is found in the patents. 

According to the patents, Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) and NIAID are jointly developing their ChAd3 vector for delivering the Ebola virus gene using HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney) cells. 

The HEK-293 cell line was created in the early 1970s, and was cultivated from the kidney of baby that was aborted in The Netherlands. 

Likewise, NewLink Genetics of Iowa used HEK-293 cells for their VSV-EBOV Ebola vaccine in Canada, while Johnson and Johnson/Crucell developed theirs using PER C6 cells, derived from retinal tissue of an 18 week gestation aborted baby.

Human tests using the NewLink vaccine began on human volunteers in the U.S. on Monday.

"There is absolutely no reason to use aborted fetal cell lines," stated Debi Vinnedge, Director of Children of God for Life.  

In a letter to the Department of HHS, the NIH, the FDA and NIAID, Vinnedge points out that the US Department of Health has itself listed other viable options to using the embryonic cell lines, such as yeast, insect, plant, bacteria, CHO, BHK, heLa and COS cells. 

The DoH patent states: "The attenuated [ebola] virus can replicate well in a cell line that lacks interferon functions, such as Vero cells." 

"At least two other Ebola vaccines in development by the University of Texas and GeoVax are using either Vero cells or chicken eggs,” said Vinnedge. “Likewise, therapeutic products such as ZMapp (LeafBio) and TKM-Ebola (Tekmira) are using plant or Vero cells"

"It is completely irresponsible of this Administration to put these problem vaccines on fast-track for approval and ignore the fact that a massive number of people may very well refuse them,” added Vinnedge. “Why not fast track a product that everyone can use in good conscience?"

Children of God for Life is urging the public to contact US government agencies and their members of Congress requesting that they expedite the morally acceptable alternatives.

Had to know this bastard would find a way...

Ebola could be the event that “saves” abortion and fetal cell “research”...

Gotta hand it to those demons...they sure know how to take advantage of a “crisis”.

There is NO REASON the cells have to come from babies. None.

As Rush always says, “Follow the money.” There are outfits making big buck$ off aborted tissue. It’s in ladies’ cosmetics, and much more. Imagine the scene when these ghouls arrive at the final Judgement....including The Abortionist in Chief!

This is more authoritative than individual opinions.

Just in case you’re wondering why Obama hasn’t stopped all incoming flights from Africa.

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” FDR

With this FDR quote in mind, just “Follow The Money”

A major pharmaceutical company in the U.S. (maybe Johnson & Johnson) may have perfected an Ebola vaccine that will prevent those who receive this vaccine from contracting Ebola. As long as Ebola remains in Africa, this vaccine won’t provide much of a return on this pharmaceutical company’s investment. However, if there is a fear of an Ebola pandemic introduced into the U.S. population, and everyone demands a vaccination at any price, this company would make a fortune many times over. Of course, this pharmaceutical company would be a major contributor to the Democrat Party.
