a) Most vaccines are NOT made using cell lines originating from abotions. Influenza, for example, is NOT made this way. And in the US, the FDA has approved perfectly safe, effective, ethical alternatives to the vaccines that do utilize stem cells derived from abortions (which were performed in the 1960s) for everything except Hepatitis A. This is extremely well documented and it’s pure conspiracy theory nonsense to claim otherwise. The Vatican has provided a full list of all vaccines utilizing stem cells from abortions to help people avoid purchasing or using those particular vaccines.
b) My problem is not with God. God gave us brains so we could develop tools (like vaccines) to help us survive in our environment. I celebrate the brain God gave us to help us improve our survival. What I don’t do is blindly wander through the world expecting and demanding that God keep me alive. DT 6:16: “You shall not put the LORD, your God, to the test”. God helps those who help themselves. I’m going to help myself to a healthy dose of vaccine for each disease where an ethically sourced option is available, both to help myself and my neighbor.
c) “None of your relatives before your great grandparents ever received a single vaccination, yet they lived.”
Actually, they didn’t. Two of my grandparents actually died of smallpox. My aunt had polio as a child and could barely walk most of her life, until she couldn’t walk at all before her death. The fact that many people were able to have some children before they died of disease doesn’t change the fact that diseases killed hundreds of millions of people.
If you had the power today to outlaw the smallpox and polio vaccines, knowing those diseases would return to kill and maim hundreds of millions of people, would you do so?
I only have a problem with coercion, and using aborted children. I would never stop anyone from pursuing their path of health. I ask the same for my family.
