down the line makes it no less immoral. Interestingly (and you probably didn't know this), the MRNA vaccines are not free of the taint either, but their link was the use of fetal celss in a confirmatory test , but not during the design, development, or production. By using the fetal retinal cells in production as it is in J&J, and rewarding the efforts of J&J with a finacial windfall, it encourages more cell lines ot be cultivated in the future.
I am sighing because of your lack of understanding of this as well as your belief that somehow, after a number of generations of cell lines, that the abortion is any less immoral.
Pope Benedict actually addressed this back in 2007 with other vaccines, and recently the US Catholic College of Bishops issued a position article which is in agreement with my statements. At the time of the article, the Astra Zeneca vaccine was addressed rather than the J&J because it was looking as if it would be approved, but the J&J vaccine falls into the same category as Astra Zeneca. It is felt that while neither is perfect, the benefit to lives from the vaccine makes its' use justifiable, but the J&J and Astra Zeneca vaccines should be avoided as long as there is a better moral alternative available....and there are two with a much less direct link to abortion(Pfizer and Moderna) which also fortunately happen to also be better medical alternatives as well.
I link this article because this is a moral question, and you didn't question any of my medical comments in the post above.
