While it is true that cell lines derived from a fetus aborted in 1970 plays a role in the vaccine development process, the molecules for the vaccine are separated from the resulting cell debris. [ 72 ] [ 73 ] Several other COVID-19 vaccine candidates use fetal cell lines descended from fetuses aborted between 1972 and 1985.
The vaccines do not contain any of the original fetal tissue or cells or cells derived from fetal materials. [5] Although the vaccine materials are purified from cell debris, traces of human DNA fragments remain. [6] [7] [8] The cell lines continue to replicate on their own and no further sources of fetal cells are needed. [5]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-vaccination and anti-abortion activists believed that MRC-5 was an ingredient of the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, citing a study from the University of Bristol. David Matthews, a co-author for this study, clarified that MRC-5 was solely used for testing purposes to determine "how the Oxford vaccine ...
In a sharply worded dissent Thursday, Justice Clarence Thomas expressed support for the plaintiffs’ debunked claims that all Covid vaccines are made with cells from “aborted children.”
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -The Vatican told Roman Catholics on Monday that it was morally acceptable to use COVID-19 vaccines even if their production employed cell lines drawn from tissues of ...
The WI-38 cell line stemmed from earlier work by Hayflick growing human cell cultures. [2]In the early 1960s, Hayflick and his colleague Paul Moorhead at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania discovered that when normal human cells were stored in a freezer, the cells remembered the doubling level at which they were stored and, when reconstituted, began to divide from that level to ...
A single vaccine-skeptical article in the Chicago Tribune — headlined "A healthy doctor died two weeks after getting a COVID vaccine; CDC is investigating why" — was viewed by more than 50 ...
[16] As of December 2021, Biological E announced positive results, but some experts criticized the lack of public data from phase III trials. [17] The developer specifically claimed the vaccine appeared to be over 90% effective against the original variant based on antibody levels. [18] On 28 December 2021, India approved the vaccine for ...
