Subvet at Catholic Dads asks for information on the use of aborted children in vaccines.
I feel like I’m opening a can of worms but here goes.
Anybody know about the use of fetal tissue for the generation of vaccines for common childhood ailments? When I first heard of it I asked my wife (pediatric RN) and was told she’d never come across anything about it. The diseases mentioned included those I got vaccination for back in the ‘50’s, long before our culture of death got up and running in a serious way. For that reason I was willing to write it off as one more conspiracy theory, probably on the same level as the one stating we never made a Moon landing. But it keeps cropping up on various Catholic sites I go to, some of them are fairly solid in their approach to things.
Everybody here seems to have both oars in the water (normally). So I figured I’d throw this out and see what might come up.
Coincidentally, I received the following chart in email. I know it might be a little hard to read so email me if you need a larger version of this.

I’m pretty sure that this is true. We have avoided several vaccines for our kids for precisely this reason. Here is a web site with more information:

Dom,
If you would, please e-mail me a larger copy of that chart. I am aware that there are some vaccines that have been developed through the use of tissue from aborted babies. One that comes to mind, and that I see on the chart, is the MMR vaccine. How extensive this has been with regard to developing vaccines, I don’t know. However, that it has happened at all is tragic.
Great resource, thanks! I posted some info I found on the subject here if anyone’s interested:
