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.

Exodus 23: 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil;

I am not judging anyone for taking the vaccine. But be honest. Would Jesus do it? Would he want to support and industry that uses aborted babies for research and development? We were deceived for decades about this. Now we know the vaccine industry has blood on its hands. Jesus Christ will only judge us for what we knew about. I don’t care how many silver pieces they offer me

There is also that REAL-ID that will be required(even for domestic travel?), which was pushed back (due to covid) to October 2021.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reminding Americans that REAL ID enforcement goes into effect on October 1, 2021, individuals seeking to enter federal facilities, nuclear power plants, or commercial airplanes at federally regulated airports will be required to have a REAL ID compliant license or acceptable alternative identification, such as a U.S. passport or passport card, to gain entry...

...however the NO ID REQUIRED policy will continue, allowing ANYONE(dead or alive)to VOTE multiple times, from anywhere in the world, through any means you wish to create, with no restrictions, no consequences....as long as it is for democrat party candidates and proposals.

You say you took the Pfizer vaccine. From what you know, if a person had a choice between the Pfizer and the Moderna, which one would you recommend? Thanks.

Of course it is.

They didn’t have to use fetal cells.

They just want to be able to point to the COVID-19 vaccine as a shining
Example of why they need fetal cells.

Thank you for contributing to herd immunity.
Please let us know if there is any change to your health.
I’m curious as to how people that have taken the mRNA COVID19 vaccines react when they are exposed to the real virus. “Pathogenic priming”, “Immune Enhancement Phenomenon”.

Why is it vacuous reasoning? I want to travel in the future, and go to concerts, and get surgery if I need it, etc. I’m pro-vaccine as well, including this one.

Long answer: no, but yes, because let me go on a long explanation explaining why I think you should inject something into your body derived from tissues and cells from aborted fetuses for a virus you have over a 99% chance of surviving and why this has no ethical or moral implications because scientism

Yes, hardly anyone dies from CV unless they are in poor health, often due to our own fault, and I myself do not intend to be vaccinated (I think I already recovered from CV. anyway, thank God), but I see no moral problem using body parts from someone who was murdered to save a life, but not murdering anyone to do so. Meanwhile murdering the most vulnerable who are "quarantined" in their place of comfort is considered an "essential service."

Proof that we shouldn’t take it. The money makes it evil, not the process, because they are buying people’s ethics with our tax money.

Rather than taking the vaccine we should be working to ensure we have ADA/civil rights legislation that protects us from discrimination on the account of vaccine status.

They’re dancing on the head of a pin trying to convince you.

EXACTLY CORRECT.

but I am about to get the first of the series next week, as an aged codger going to Publix. My concern is less with the disease, especially since the next level of fear mongering has commenced (BIGGER BADDER MORE LETHAL VARIANTS COMING !!!) than with my ability to travel some more before i die. And the very minute i receive the second dose, i am ditching the mask even for politeness.

They were tested using fetal tissue lines. Dealbreaker for me.

There was no good solutions in what to do with the Wuhan flu. California is a great example, they shut down hard and early only to get their medical system overwhelmed by Christmas. You can run but you can’t hide from the virus.

“California is a great example, they shut down hard and early...”


I don’t think any U.S. state shut down nearly as hard as Italy, France, & the U.K. both in March and apparently right now. Didn’t apparently do them that much good either.
