SMALLPOX VACCINE WARNING: This action item from Children of God for Life demands pro-lifers’ immediate attention.
The Washington Post announced the award of a contract for the development of a new smallpox vaccine to Oravax/Acambis Corporation. The proposal presented to the CDC and FDA would encompass using “human fibroblasts.”
We checked the proposed ingredients through the CDC and found they intend to use aborted fetal cell line MRC-5 as the cell substrate for growing the virus. The CDC report also stated that other established animal substrates such as chick embryo, (used in Rabies vaccine) Vero Cell Lines and FRHL-2 Cell lines were viable alternatives as well. We spoke with the FDA and they have verified the reports, but also indicated they would most likely use more than one manufacturer and no final decisions have been made.
We do know that testing has already begun using MRC-5 in Phase 1 trials.
Immediate action is needed now! We do not want our families being forced by the government to use a critical vaccine that is derived from aborted fetal tissue.
NOTE: If there is an epidemic or national crisis, you will NOT be able to use religious exemptions. Please express your concern. Ask that the policy makers consider the moral consciences of hundreds of thousands of Americans who have already voiced their objection to the currently used vaccines derived from aborted fetal tissue.
If you have already stated that you will not use such tainted vaccines, tell the government the same thing now. There is time for health officials to select alternative sources that are NOT created from aborted babies
Let your voice be heard loud and clear. There are always alternatives.
