Silver Bullet? Golden Calf? Is the Vaccine Our Way Out of This?  (08 February 2021)

"Is the vaccine our way out [of the C19 pandemic]? How can it be? ... Not only are we looking to it as an alternative to repentance to get us out of the crisis: there are ethical concerns to do with the vaccines themselves. They have been produced with the help of aborted fetal cell lines, and the practice of organ harvesting from healthy, wrongly killed babies continues around the world today ... I don't think we really know God as we ought to if we think that this is his gift to us, as if he would give us something out of the fruit of child sacrifice..."

Vaccines - An Alternative View  (01 February 2021)

"We all know that a vaccine has been thought of by many as the holy grail which will lift us out of this [Covid-19] crisis, and the quest to find one has been embarked on by many pharmaceutical companies in the hope that they may restore health to humanity and deliver us from the pestilence we face. But with vaccines at the forefront of the conversation for a while now, a lot of Christians have become aware that the way many of them are produced and tested poses an ethical conundrum - the use of foetal tissue ... vaccines already widely in use such as the MMR vaccine are produced using this method ... It shocked me to my core to think that healthy babies had been killed and their body parts used in this way..."

Many Aborted Babies Are Used in Vaccine Creation  (01 February 2021)

"Dr. Stanley Plotkin is considered the Godfather of Vaccines. He is an American physician who worked as a consultant to the biggest vaccine manufacturers and biotechnology firms, non-profits, and governments. in the 1960s, he played a role in creating the Rubella vaccine. His book, Vaccines, is the standard reference textbook on the subject ... he reluctantly admits the horrific facts and gruesome details about the relationship of abortion to vaccines. Dr Plotkin was called to answer questions from a lawyer who was defending the rights of a mother who refused to vaccinate her child due to concerns about the ingredients in the vaccines..."

Oxford/AstraZeneca:  Vaccines and Aborted Babies  (04 January 2021)

"Last year, the BBC boiled vaccine 'misinformation claims' down to four it believed it could refute: (1) 'Altered DNA' claims; (2) Bill Gates and microchip claims; (3) Foetal tissue claims; (4) Recovery rate claims.  In the December 2020 Christian Voice newsletter ... we looked at these claims, together with: (1) Concerns about mercury; (2) The record of vaccine companies; (3) Genuine concerns about safety and (4) Why the vaccine has not been licensed as 'safe and efficacious'; (5) Why initial adverse side effects are so common; (6) The possibility of coercion, let alone (7) Whether the vaccine could become compulsory..."

Several COVID-19 Vaccines Are Made Using Aborted Fetal Cells  (15 December 2020)

"In addition to standard concerns over the safety of COVID-19 vaccines is the moral dilemma of taking vaccines made with aborted fetal cells. For many, this alone is a cause for objection. Several of the vaccine candidates, including AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, are made using aborted fetal cell lines ... While some may indeed be concerned about the actual, literal inclusion of fetal cells in the finished vaccine, typically, it's simply a moral objection to the use of aborted fetuses in medical research and development ... So, what is a fetal cell line, really, and how is it used in vaccine development?..."

Update: COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates and Abortion-Derived Cell Lines  (30 Sept 2020 / 14 Dec 2020 / 04 Jan 2021)

"Accurate information about the development and production of COVID-19 vaccines is essential, especially because many proposed candidates use newer molecular technologies for production of a viral vaccine. One concern regarding the ethical assessment of viral vaccine candidates is the potential use of abortion-derived cell lines in the development, production or testing of a vaccine. This analysis utilizes data from the primary scientific literature when available, along with data from clinical trial documents, reputable vaccine tracking websites, and published commercial information. It is the hope that by providing accurate data, recipients can make well-informed decisions regarding vaccine choices..."

An Ethics Assessment of COVID-19 Vaccine Programs  (06 May 2020)

"This page outlines the ethical considerations involved solely in vaccine production, based on information present at the time of publication. Subsequently, publication of scientific papers has provided additional details about the vaccines ... As shown in Table 1, there are a number of COVID-19 vaccine programs that are now in registered clinical trials or in early pre-clinical stages of development. Five of these identified efforts use genetically engineered adenoviruses for production of CoV-19 products ... their viral genomes are introduced into cultured human cells genetically engineered ... Several commonly used human cell lines developed for this function were established from cells taken from electively aborted human fetuses..."

Quotes and Comments

Does the Vaccine Contain Aborted Foetal Tissue?  "MRC-5 cells were obtained in 1966 from the lungs of a 14-week male foetus. These were used to produce a cell line which is used in vaccines such as those for Covid-19.  A cell line is a clone of cultured cells derived from an identified parental cell type (in this case, the lung tissue of a 14-week old foetal boy).  So, it is incorrect to say that there is actual foetal tissue in the vaccines, but it is correct to say that it is tissue derived from aborted foetal tissue ... [does that] make it any less ethically problematic? There are still problems with the principle of this" [source].

"Several commonly used human cell lines developed for this function were established from cells taken from electively aborted human fetuses. The use of cells from electively aborted fetuses for vaccine production makes these five COVID-19 vaccine programs [The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is one of these five, while the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines do so for some of their tests] potentially controversial and could reduce willingness of some to use the vaccine. While some may see no ethical problem, for many a straight line can be drawn from the ending of a human life in an an abortion to a vaccine or drug created using cells derived from the harvesting of the fetal tissue. Even if the cells have been propagated for years in the laboratory far removed from the abortion, that connection line remains ... Adherence to the highest ethical standards in science and medicine serves all humanity, because it values the dignity of every human life and respects the consciences of all, without exploitation of any group" [source].

"In addition to standard concerns over the safety of COVID-19 vaccines is the moral dilemma of taking vaccines made with aborted fetal cells. For many, this alone is a cause for objection. Several of the vaccine candidates, including AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, are made using aborted fetal cell lines ... for many [people], the issue is not that the vaccine might contain actual cells from an aborted fetus. It's the fact that a fetus was used in the production - in any way ... The fact is, fetal cells ARE used production of certain vaccines, and some may object to getting those vaccines because they object to abortion and/or feel it's unethical to harvest aborted fetuses for their tissue" [source].

"Commonly Used Fetal Cell Lines:  There are several cell lines commonly used in vaccine development that originate from aborted fetuses, including:

• HEK293 - human embryonic cell line originally derived form kidney tissue obtained from a female fetus aborted in the Netherlands in 1972;
• MRC5 - human embryonic cell line originally derived from the lung tissue of a 14-weel-old male fetus aborted in 1966;
• PER.C6 - human embryonic cell line originally derived from the retina of an 18-week-old male fetus aborted in the Netherlands in 1985;
• WI38 - human embryonic cell line originally derived from the lung tissue of a 12-week-old female fetus aborted in 1961.

"Vaccine makers using at least one of these fetal cell lines in the development of their COVID-19 vaccines include:

• AstraZeneca (HEK293);
• Jansen Research and Development (owned by Johnson & Johnson), (PER.C6);
• CanSino Biologics (HEK293);
• University of Pittsburgh (HEK293);
• ImmunityBio (HEK293);
• Altimmune (PER.C6)" [source].

"I must stress that I would not take any vaccine that included this parental cell-type [aborted foetal tissue], no matter how far removed from the source it may be" [Elizabeth McDonald, email to H---------, 03 December 2020].

"Dr Helen Watt of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre in Oxford, England, [said] that the Pfizer vaccine 'makes no use of a foetal cell-line in the production process itself, and no use in the design' but '[o]ne of the confirmatory lab tests on the vaccine did sadly involve an old foetal cell-line' ... the Pfizer vaccine is tested using the HEK 293 cell line, which is derived from kidney tissue taken from a healthy baby who was aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s" [source].

"We are looking to the vaccine, instead of repentance, for our help and salvation. Isaiah 30 and 31 tell the story of the Israelites failing to listen to the word of the LORD. They do not consult him, but instead carry out plans that are not his, and go down to Egypt for help. Because it is not God's plan, the LORD says that Egypt [i.e. the vaccine] will be 'utterly useless' to them ... Not only are we looking to [the vaccine] as an alternative to repentance to get us out of the crisis: there are ethical concerns to do with the vaccine themselves. They have been produced with the help of aborted fetal cell lines, and the practice of organ harvesting from healthy, wrongly killed babies continues today around the world" [source].

"The Bible is clear that when it comes to the good things which all of humanity enjoys they come from God. But we should be careful in attributing to God things which He hasn't expressly taken credit for. I have to admit I have winced when I've heard Christians giving thanks to God for the vaccine. Can we really attribute something of such questionable origins to God? Surely just the association with child sacrifice is enough to testify against these vaccines as being blessings from God ... the very fact that these vaccines are linked with the practice of abortion should signal to us as Christians that there's something not quite right here" [source].

"I don't think we really know God as we ought to if we think that [the vaccine] is his gift to us, as if he would give us something out of the fruit of child sacrifice and it would be our way out of judgment for child sacrifice even though we are still not repenting of child sacrifice. Yes, Christians have been praying for the vaccine, and so it is unsurprising that they think that this is God's answer ... Yes: we can pray to the living God for our idols. Shocking! The fact that we prayed for this and it has come is no evidence whatsoever that it's a gift from God" [source].

"We are meant to be repenting, but instead we are turning to a vaccine that is itself produced with the fruit of the very practice we're meant to be repenting of. Why is this not ringing alarm bells? ... even if we were to lay aside ethical concerns to do with the vaccine, the absence of repentance alone means that the vaccine cannot be our 'way out; of the crisis, not God's way out. We still haven't learned, we still haven't repented" [source].

"By far my biggest reason to refuse these horrid jabs is that they are all connected with the abortion industry.  This is indisputably anti-life ... [In his] 9-hour testimony before the U.S. Senate, [Stanley] Plotkin reluctantly admitted that over 70 babies' corpses were used in the process of finding the two cell lines that would be used in a number of vaccines.  Some people say that since these cell lines, obtained in the 1970s, are so distantly connected to abortion as to be untainted, it's okay to get the vaccines.  But the fact is that new cell lines are being developed all the time, because cell lines die out eventually and there aren't enough of them for all the research 'scientists' want to do ... including researching, testing, and manufacturing vaccines.  These innocent children are delivered via Caesarian section.  Their tissues are harvested from them while they are still alive and without the benefit of anesthesia, since that would damage the usefulness of the tissues.  WI-38, MRC-5, HEK-293, PER C-6 are some of the cell lines that are currently used in the manufacture of various vaccines" [source].

"The Johnson & Johnson injection contains DNA fragments from aborted babies.  The Moderna and Pfizer injections were tested on aborted fetal tissue.  They are all created at the expense of an innocent child.  I cannot and will not be a party to such barbarism" [source].

"I won't take anything that they had to kill innocent life for"  /  "I will not take anything that has benefitted from the use of human fetal cells from aborted babies"  /  "I will not take any vaccine that has been developed or tested using aborted fetal cell lines. And I believe my Creator would approve of my decisions" [readers' comments at source].

What is Covid-19?

"Covid-19 is supposedly a pneumonia as a complication of SARS-COV-2, but ...

• For most people, Covid-19 is a mild illness which is never confirmed as being due to SARS-COV-2, but the perception of reality is created by official general prognosis,
• A developed SARS-COV-2 infection could be flu, or even a bacterial infection, and Covid-19, or the pneumonia associated with it, would in fact arise as a complication due to these other causations,
• Pneumonia or severe respiratory complications can occur from a treatment for cancer - which incriminates other pre-existing conditions in combination with their medical treatments,
• Meanwhile, quite astonishingly, there is no acknowledgement of what might be true Covid-19, which is an infection of the lungs related to the interaction between SARS-COV/SARS-COV-2 and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) that is promoted in treatment by prescribed drugs.

"[T]he UK Government's reaction to Covid-19 has been way beyond anything anyone could call proportional. It has been unnecessarily, grotesquely exaggerated, and pointlessly damaging" [source].

Coronavirus Act: What Are We Consenting To?

"In the UK, it is worth recapping what it is we are consenting to with the Coronavirus Act:

• We consent to increased State surveillance of ourselves and our family;
• We are happy that we could be detained, without charge, because some state official suspects, or claims they suspect, we may be infected;
• It is fine with us that we or our loved ones can be sectioned under the Mental Health Act on the recommendation of a single doctor and neither we nor they need to have the protection of a second opinion we are locked up;
• We accept that the state can retain our biometric data and fingerprints for an extended period;
• We consent that jury trials are a bit of an anachronism and Judges can hear more evidence by video or even audio link;
• We think it's fine that the evidence required, and processes undertaken, to determine and record our or our loved ones' deaths can be eroded to the point where they can be registered by people with no medical or legal expertise at all;
• We don't think the NHS needs to adhere to practice standards or bother with assessing the needs of some patients, especially older people;
• We are also fine with the complete suspension of democracy in Britain;
• We accept all of this based upon a unique subset of scientific opinion which, contrary t every known scientific principle, can never be questioned;
• We agree with the MSM that people who question any aspect of the stories they tell us are dangerous because these people just don't care if their own loved ones die. Only true believers care about their families;
• We also accept the need for the State to invest considerable resources creating counter disinformation units whose purpose is to censor anything and everything which questions our firmly held beliefs. The beliefs informed by many of the same people doing the censoring..." [source].

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday ...
He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways ...
he shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble ... and show him my salvation"
