Abortion and the Vaccine Industry
The Ethical and Health Concerns of Using Aborted Fetal Cells in Vaccines
Vaccines such as the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), chickenpox, hepatitis A, and some COVID-19 vaccines have been developed using cell lines that originated from aborted fetal tissue. The process involves harvesting cells from elective abortions, which are then cultured in laboratories to create cell lines. These cell lines, such as WI-38 and MRC-5, were derived from abortions that occurred decades ago, but they have been maintained and replicated over time to create the cell cultures needed for vaccine production and testing.
The cells themselves are used to grow the virus needed for vaccines, but their presence in vaccines, however small, raises both health and ethical concerns. Many people are unaware that these cell lines are involved in the production of certain vaccines, leading to moral, health, and ethical dilemmas.
Lack of Studies on the Safety of Injecting Aborted Fetal Cells
There has been no comprehensive study proving that the injection of cells derived from aborted fetal tissue is 100% safe. In fact, the use of human DNA fragments in vaccines has raised concerns about the potential health risks. Some scientists have voiced worries that injecting DNA from these cell lines into the human body might lead to mutagenesis, where foreign DNA could potentially integrate into the recipient’s genome, altering their genetic material.
This could lead to unintended health consequences, including autoimmune reactions, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, or even cancer. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has acknowledged that while the risk of this happening is believed to be low, it cannot be entirely ruled out due to the limited research in this area.
Health Risks: Mutagenesis and Cancer
One of the greatest health risks of injecting vaccines containing human DNA fragments is the potential for mutagenesis, which is the alteration of the genome. If fragments from the fetal DNA become incorporated into a person’s own DNA, this could potentially lead to genetic mutations that might predispose someone to certain diseases, including cancer.
Another concern is the possibility of oncogenesis (the development of tumors), where human DNA fragments could increase the risk of developing cancer. This concern arises because human cells used in vaccines are not perfectly safe and carry some level of risk when injected into the body, especially when long-term studies are lacking.
The Moral Dilemma of Using Aborted Fetal Cells in Vaccines
There is a significant moral dilemma that arises from using aborted fetal cells in vaccine production. Many individuals who choose to vaccinate also hold pro-life beliefs and are strongly opposed to abortion. However, many are unaware that the vaccines they or their children receive were developed or tested using cell lines derived from aborted fetal tissue.
This moral conflict is not to be taken lightly. Even though the abortions that led to the creation of these cell lines occurred decades ago, there are still ethical concerns about continuing to use products that were originally derived from the termination of a pregnancy. Moreover, vaccine manufacturers continue to use these cell lines in new vaccine developments, furthering the dilemma for many conscientious objectors who wish to avoid any association with abortion.
The Scale of Aborted Fetuses Used in Vaccine Research
Stanley Plotkin, a well-known vaccine developer, testified under oath that nearly one hundred aborted fetuses were used in the development of vaccines. This information is often unknown to the general public, but it underscores the scale of abortion-derived research in the vaccine industry. Plotkin also admitted to using fetal tissue in experiments that involved grafting tissue from aborted fetuses onto animals to study the effects. This revelation has increased awareness among many people who are now questioning the ethics behind vaccines and whether there are safer, morally acceptable alternatives.
Vaccines That Use Aborted Fetal Tissue
Here are a few examples of vaccines that involve the use of aborted fetal tissue or cell lines:
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Varicella (Chickenpox)
Hepatitis A
Shingles
Rabies
COVID-19 vaccines (Some of the development and testing processes for certain vaccines like Johnson & Johnson's involved the use of these cell lines)
The Importance of Researching Vaccine Ingredients
Given these health and ethical concerns, it is critically important to research the ingredients and the manufacturing process of any vaccine before deciding to receive or administer it. Parents and individuals have the right to know exactly what they are injecting into their bodies, especially when those vaccines might contain human DNA fragments or other potentially harmful ingredients.
Many individuals trust medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies to provide safe products, but recent revelations about vaccine ingredients and processes underscore the need for personal due diligence. While vaccines can provide important protection against infectious diseases, it is equally important to weigh the potential risks and to be aware of alternatives that do not involve fetal tissue.
Please Do Your Research
The use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines poses both health and moral dilemmas. The lack of long-term studies on the safety of injecting foreign human DNA, combined with the ethical concerns of abortion-derived cell lines, creates a strong case for further investigation and transparency. People should be empowered with this knowledge to make informed decisions about their health, and the health of their families, especially when it involves injecting substances into their bodies that carry moral and potential health risks.
Researching the ingredients and manufacturing processes of vaccines is vital, especially for those who want to avoid possible health risks such as mutagenesis and cancer, or for those with deep convictions against abortion.
