This is a lie.

None of the covid vaccines contain aborted fetuses. Even when vaccines have used fetal cells lines, the cells were harvested from from 50 years ago.

Moderna’s RNA did not use this http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/vacc...

Even the Pope, head of the one of the most staunchest antiabortion religions, has gone on record saying that it is the duty of all Catholics to get vaccinated if possible, as all individuals have a collective duty each other.

The sad fact is, it has become a political game to refuse a covid vaccine, as opposed to all vaccines. There is no difference between these vaccines and the countless others all of us have received — and were required to receive — in our lives.




I never said they contained them. I literally said "used to test the vaccine."

Religions that oppose abortion typically don't have a statute of limitations on when the cells from them are okay to use to grow cell lines to use in testing.

You literally just made this up. I cited the pope himself.

Using abortion as a complaint about vaccines is disingenuous, and it deserves to be treated as such. If this was the case, we wouldn’t be hearing about this in 2021, it would have been well known for 40 years.

The sad truth is, evangelicals didn’t care about abortion until they lost segregation as a political rallying point. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/20/734303135/throughline-traces-...

I repeat. The whole complaint is a lie.
