Thread Name: BS: 2021 vaccination thread
Subject: RE: BS: 2021 vaccination thread
Regarding the stem cells, this is from my post on 22 January after I had the Oxford vaccine:
'On leaving, I was given a small card with my name on it, the date, and the vaccine type and batch number, and a sheet of paper to read, which includes near the top:
"Read all of this leaflet carefully before the vaccine is given because it contains important information for you."
There is a list of possible side effects, but the bit of information that does worry me is that the vaccine is:
"Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells."'
I investigated this on line and discovered that the HEK cells originated from an abortion in the Netherlands in the 1970s.
It is likely that the J&J vaccine also uses those cells. But perhaps the Catholics who were "told the J&J vaccine is immoral" [who by?] have checked the facts themselves and made up their own minds about the morality of the vaccine, rather than waiting to be told by the Pope. The Pope has decreed that use of these cells is acceptable in the absence of an alternative.
I looked for a vaccine that doesn't use them but all I found was one that is undergoing tests, which uses African Green Monkey cells - which strikes me as more immoral as there must be far fewer African green monkeys than there are people..
