Dear all,
For purposes of religious exemption, is it accurate to say that all currently available COVID-19 vaccines are tainted with abortion somewhere in their production process? Or could an employer counter by saying "well if you don't like abortion then just take [some COVID vaccine that doesn't have this problem]?"
Thank you for your help.
This is an emotional argument not based on reality and easy to disprove. The original progenitor of the cell line was medically aborted.
The cell line is used in testing. In the testing process. It's also mutated far, far away from being the original cell origin.
Bioethics around this specific issue hinge on the moral outrage of abortion. If a fetus was unviable in 1973 and was medically aborted, can you lay claim to the moral outrage of the abortion?
Not logically. Medicine is based on the data gathered by those who come before us.
