Ethical Vaccines

There has been a great deal of unrest with regards to vaccines in recent years. As a nurse, I'm supposed to push people to get their children vaccinated...and I cannot deny that vaccines have probably done some good since their inception during the last century. However, as a Catholic and a nurse who is concerned with the holistic good of others I cannot in good conscience remain silent on this issue.

Unknown to most of the public is the fact that the cell lines from aborted fetuses are used to grow or become the substance of vaccines. Basically, this means that tissues taken from aborted fetuses are used as the cells to grow vaccines in/on. They can be grown on other substances (chicken embroys for example) so there is no conceivable reason to use those of aborted fetuses. Using the fetal cell lines is faster because new eggs must be gotten each time and cultivated, whereas the fetal cell line, called PER C6, is always handy.

Some vaccines, like the They also have the sources of their information listed, and individuals can call or go online to see the ingredients of their vaccines because these things are public.
MDCK is a moral line ingredient name. You can request any of these from your physician. Any vaccines not listed do not contain the immoral lines.
