IT IS UNETHICAL TO RECEIVE A CORONAVIRUS VACCINE DEVELOPED FROM ABORTED BABIES TISSUE. At the heart of this issue is a little Dutch girl who died a horrible abortional death in 1972. Kidney cells from her corpse were used for medical research and named with the label HEK-293, Alleged News. [1] Her historic remnant of HEK-293 is one of the cell-lines being exploited in the production of the Covid-19 vaccine at Oxford University, Alleged News. [1]
Voices are calling for vaccination to be administered as a prima facie duty, even if the Covid-19 vaccine was developed using tissue derived from abortion fetuses, Alleged News. [1] A moral obligation to guarantee the vaccination coverage necessary for the safety of others and out of solidarity of others has been posited, Alleged News. [1]
Thou shalt not kill
This issue deals with how far we, as society are prepared to go. Are we prepared to knowingly receive the medicated remnants of a murdered baby girl in order to escape death ourselves? Can we disobey the order of Almighty God in the sixth commandment "Thou shalt not kill" [Exodus 20:13]? The commandment is a moral imperative included as one of the Ten Commandments in the Torah.
Bloodguilt
The imperative not to kill is in the context of unlawful killing resulting in bloodguilt. It is a grave issue to realize that the knowing receival of an abortus-contaminated vaccine makes the receiver complicit in the bloodguilt stemming from the initial act of the taking of innocent life. Bloodguilt refers to the liability for punishment for shedding blood.
Result of abortion
The result of abortion is abortus, whether in clearly manifested or derivative form. The newly aborted baby is in clearly manifested murdered human form. The thirty-eight year old historically aborted baby in cell-line form is in derivative murdered human form. Both forms of the baby are equally murdered human, the only difference being the form.
A human being is not a product
On February 22, 1987, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (writing, then, as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), issued Donum Vitae: An Instruction on Respect for Human Life in its Origin and on the Dignity of Procreation. In it, the pontiff emeritus said, "The corpses of human embryos and fetuses, whether they have been deliberately aborted or not, must be respected just as the remains of other human beings. In particular, they cannot be subjected to mutilation or autopsies if their death has not yet been verified and with the consent of the parents or of the mothers ... Also, in the case of dead fetuses, as for the corpses of adult persons, all commercial trafficking must be considered illicit and should be prohibited." [2]
Commandments, not suggestions
The Ten Commandments of God are commands; not suggestions. The Commandments are there to guide us away from puzzlement in the face of difficult decisions. Their unchanging authority and clarity are clear and devoid of ambiguity or sophistry. The Commandments make every new dilemma easy to face and deal with. We are not allowed to kill. To participate in killing places us in the category of disobedience to God and liable at our judgement after death for this sin. To knowingly accept a vaccine which is derived from the killing of an innocent, involves us as complicit in the bloodguilt.
Covid vaccine protest by three Archbishops
A letter to the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, asks the government to seek alternative Covid vaccines to the one produced by pharma giant AstraZeneca, which was the subject of an announcment that it could be provided free to all Australians; Alleged News. [3] The letter was signed by three Archbishops; Anthony Fisher, the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Glenn Davies of the Sydney Anglicans and the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Australia, Makarios Griniezakis, Alleged News. [3]
Archbishop Fisher wrote, "This week's announcement that a Letter of Intent has been signed between our government and AstraZeneca for a vaccine raises some important ethical questions because the vaccine in question makes use of a cell line cultured from an electively aborted human foetus."
"Whether this vaccine is successful or not, it is important tht the government does not create an ethical dilemma for people. Along with the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Australia, I have written to the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, asking the government to pursue similar arrangements for alternative vaccines that do not raise the same ethical concerns, so that Australians will have a choice when it comes to vaccination.
"There are currently 167 vaccines being researched, many of which do not use foetal cells in their development. It is in the best interests of the community that vaccination is widely taken up and this deadly disease defeated, and this will better be achieved if the vaccines available do not create an ethical quandary," Alleged News. [3]
Protests by pro-life groups
Science magazine reported on protests by pro-life groups regarding Covid vaccines: "At least five of the candidate Covid-19 vaccines use one of two human foetal cell line: HEK-293, a kidney cell line widely used in research and industry that comes from a foetus aborted in about 1972; and PER.C6, a proprietary cell line owned by Janssen, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, developed from retinal cells from an 18-week-old foetus aborted in 1985. Both cell lines were developed in the lab of molecular biologist Alex van der Eb at Leiden University. Two of the five vaccines have entered human trials," Alleged News. [3]
There are moral alternatives
Alternative vaccines are in development, using among others;
- BCG vaccine - no cells involved
- Israel - Pluristem - Using placenta donated from newborn babies
- British American Tobacco - tobacco leaves
- Medicago/GSK/Dynavax - Uses VLPs produced in plant cells, Alleged News . See the list at the link below [4]
Image and Likeness of God
Preborn boys and girls from whom cell lines were harvested, were unique children made in the Image and Likeness of Almighty God. Their souls are in heaven. Their bodies will rise again on the last day. How terrible it will be if our resurrected body were to contain the reproach of having incorporated their martyred bodies.
Personal conscience
Each individual with personal conscience has to make the decision whether to obey God or not. In this instance, do we obey God's order not to participate - however implicity - in the killing of another?
In the words of Sister Deirdre Byrne, we are not only pro-life but pro- eternal life. [5] Let us vote for respect of the sanctity of unborn human life and honour abortion martyrs in eternity. This we can do by choosing alternative vaccines which do not use pathetically tormented remains of murdered unborn.
ABORTION IS MURDER
THE ANSWER TO ABORTUS-DERIVED VACCINES IS ABSOLUTELY NOT!
WE DON'T NEED TO USE
VACCINES WITH
ABORTED CELLS - THERE ARE
MORAL ALTERNATIVES
IN DEVELOPMENT.
