According to CitizenGo, “Merck Pharmaceuticals uses vaccines that are derived from aborted fetal tissue. They provide no ethical alternative for conscientious objectors, who might otherwise get innoculated against dangerous diseases. Let’s urge them to provide an alternative vaccinations that do not further exploit aborted children.
The Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine, among others, use human diploid cells derived from two aborted children in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, their bodies have been exploited by pharmaceutical companies like Merck to create vaccines. This is exploitation on a grand scale, which poses serious difficulties for pro-life families and other conscientious objectors.
After massive outcry, Merck promised in 2008 that “No further fetal tissue would be needed now or in the future to produce vaccines.” But one year later, they broke that promise and contracted with a Dutch company to create a new aborted fetal cell line, taken from the retinal tissue of an 18-week gestation baby, which will be used in their new HIV vaccine. Now, even the new Ebola vaccine under development uses aborted fetal tissue cell lines.
