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.
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.”
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]
David Matthews, a co-author for this study, clarified that MRC-5 was solely used for testing purposes to determine "how the Oxford vaccine behaves when it is inside a genetically normal human cell." [6] The manufacturing of the vaccine used the HEK 293 fetal cell line, the kidney cells of an aborted or spontaneously miscarried female fetus ...
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 ...
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 ...
Vaccine development was partly financed with $7 million from mostly private investors, including a $1 million donation by Tito's Vodka. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] The vaccine technology, for antigen production and use, is given patent-free to manufacturers, although Baylor College receives a fee.
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 ...
