Aborted Baby Vaccine Backfires

by Jules Gomes, Church Militant:

Trials on the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine made from the cell lines of an aborted baby girl have been suspended after serious adverse reaction in a volunteer, pharma giant AstraZeneca announced Tuesday night.

The British female patient was rushed to a hospital after she displayed symptoms of transverse myelitis (TM) — a rare condition affecting the spinal cord.

AstraZeneca said there would be a “voluntary pause of vaccination across all trials” as part of “a standard review process” in the trials of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine, AZD1222.

Pope’s Lament

On Wednesday, Pope Francis warned against “partisan interests” emerging in the distribution of the vaccine but refrained from addressing the use of fetal cells derived from electively aborted babies.

Some people “are taking advantage of the situation to instigate divisions: by seeking economic or political advantages, generating or exacerbating conflicts,” the pontiff remarked during his general audience. He condemned those who are not interested “in the suffering of others” as “devotees of Pontius Pilate” who “wash their hands.”

Editor’s note: Anglican Mainstream is not ‘anti-vac’, recognises that this is a difficult ethical issue, and that a number of Christians are taking part in these trials in order to contribute to the defeat of the virus, some without initially knowing the provenance of the vaccine. But other Christians have deep concerns about the ethics of foetus tissue being used in the development of the vaccine, and so the point of view expressed in this piece is a valid one.
