Los Angeles Times ✒ Fresno Bishop Urges Catholics Not To 'jump on the COVID-19 vaccine bandwagon'.

Citing ethical concerns about the use of fetal cells in vaccine development, Bishop Joseph Brennan of the Diocese of Fresno is urging Catholics not to "jump on the Covid-19 vaccine bandwagon.” 

In a video shared by the diocese this week, Brennan said that some of the researchers racing to produce a coronavirus vaccine have made use of cells derived from an aborted fetus, and perhaps other "morally objectionable" materials.

"I try to maintain a joyful spirit, so I don't like to rain on anyone's parade," Brennan said. "But I'm going to rain on a parade today: the vaccine parade."

In his message, Brennan said the use of fetal cells at any stage of a vaccine's development means Catholics cannot avail themselves of its scientific results.

I won’t be able to take a vaccine, brothers and sisters, and I encourage you not to, if it was developed with material from stem cells that were derived from a baby that was aborted, or material that was cast off from artificial insemination of a human embryo. That's morally unacceptable for us.

  1. It's not bollix. They (big pharma) do use parts of the aborted fetus and not just for bat flu vaccines...

  2. Evidence if that is not too much to ask, Frankie.

    1. The standard response of all tin hatted, conspiracy theory mongers when asked to substantiate their claims with hard evidence. I am quite happy with the state of scientific episteme around the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, thank you very much.
