You asked, we answered: Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells?

Question

Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells?

Answer from infectious diseases expert James Lawler, MD

No, the COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any aborted fetal cells. However, Pfizer and Moderna did perform confirmation tests (to ensure the vaccines work) using fetal cell lines.

But it's important to have the full context: Fetal cell lines are not the same as fetal tissue. Fetal cell lines are cells that grow in a laboratory. They descend from cells taken from elective abortions in the 1970s and 1980s. Those individual cells from the 1970s and 1980s have since multiplied into many new cells over the past four or five decades, creating fetal cell lines. Current fetal cell lines are thousands of generations removed from the original fetal tissue.

Vaccine makers may use these fetal cell lines in any of the following three stages of vaccine development: Development: Identifying what works Confirmation: Making sure it works Production: Manufacturing the formula that works

When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines currently approved for emergency use, neither the Pfizer nor Moderna vaccines used fetal cell lines during the development or production phases. (So, no fetal cell lines were used to manufacture the vaccine, and they are not inside the injection you receive from your doctor.) However, both companies used the fetal cell line HEK 293 in the confirmation phase to ensure the vaccines work. All HEK 293 cells are descended from tissue taken from a 1973 elective abortion that took place in the Netherlands.

None of the COVID-19 vaccines in development use fetal cells taken from recent abortions.

We understand this topic is very sensitive and important within communities of faith. We want everyone to feel like they are making a fully informed decision. We encourage anyone with concerns about the use of fetal cell lines in vaccine development to weigh the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines with their doctor and have a personal conversation with a faith leader.

Do you really believe this crap. Follow the link below to find out this is a test to see if they can trick our bodies into thinking everything is okay while they restructure our DNA programming. Yes they have been practicing with this on aborted fetal tissue. We are not getting out of this world without death. I will not bend my knee to Big Pharma or anyone else.

Did you just hear that on ‘War Room’? NO $1400 stimulus check UNLESS you take the vaccine???

Did you read the articles at the links I posted? Far from rebutting your article, they bolster them. They are confirmation from the most orthodox, conservative elements of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines DO NOT contain aborted baby cells.

I think from a principles perspective, the issue is irrelevant on whether the vaccines were used in the actual production or the testing.

I fully understand why someone would not want a vaccine derived from aborted fetal cells or those derived, cultured, or cloned as these were.

The fact that they were involved at all in any part of a money-making endeavor is the principle at stake. I do believe the slippery slope it initiates, on making money off of abortions in some way is abhorrent, and I understand that view as well.

Just my opinion.

Not used in the development

Used in the testing. Testing is part of the development. Morally speaking, it's fruit of a poisoned tree. They're using the bodies of murdered innocents to check it out. That's disgusting.

I wouldn't trust the safety or efficacy of this Dr. Frankenstein concoction anyway. HCQ, zinc, and vitamin C sound good to me. Better for body, way better for the soul.

1970s. Were abortions legal? Don’t think so. Therefore fetal tissue was coming from where? Hospitals following D & Cs ?

Actually they don’t have the faintest idea. All the data is provided by the manufacturers. No government agency or the referenced expert knows for sure. They have to “trust” the maker. The CDC, FDA and other government agencies do no testing for effectiveness or purity.

I will freely admit, that I did NOT take this virus very seriously at firs, and decided that it was all a hoax, to defeat Trump.


While Wuhan was used to defeat President Trump and that may well have been the reason for its release, I did take it seriously from the start.

I was struck by how the leaders of virtually every nation shut down their economies apparently in dread of what havoc the Wuhan virus would wreak. I only wish we were told or even told now, what those leaders, including President Trump were told. It had to have been chilling.

I got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. So far, so good.

For me the question is, do there vaccines help to create/sustain the market for abortion-derived products.

The answer to that is "yes".

1973... Last week of January. Many before that were conducted in the dark away from public opinion. Enjoy your vaccine. You too can get your $1400 from the government. Is that equivalent to thirty pieces of silver?

That is just creepy that we are experimenting on dead, aborted baby tissue descendants from 40-50 years ago. Doesn’t change the fact that aborted babies were used in developing the vaccine. So creepy.

Taking what this article says is true leads to another question. Are these fetal cells and the subsequent lines only available from aborted fetuses or could they be obtained from living ones without any harm to them?

At this phase of the war, it would be wise to trust no one!
