The List of Medications

One of the more common objections to the covid vaccine is that no one who claims to be a Good Christian™ (and it’s always Christians) can get the vaccine because it was made using “aborted fetuses”.

As anyone with more than two functioning neurons could guess, reality is a bit more complicated. The Oxford-AstraZenica vaccine was, in fact, developed using Human Embryonic Kidney 293 (HEK-293) cells. These cells are commonly used to replicate viral proteins which are then used to deliver mRNA sequences. The HEK-293 cells themselves are not a part of the finished products.

“But wait,” you might say, “If the AstraZenica vaccine is the only one that is manufactured using HEK-293 cells, why don’t they just take one of the other ones?” Well here’s the thing, HEK-293 cells are also frequently used in the early stages of development to test the function and potential toxicity of a new drug, and every single one of the covid vaccines was tested on HEK-293 cells. What can a Good Christian™ do but decline to take these vaccines that were tested on the cloned cells of an immortalized cell line originally derived from the kidneys of a fetus that was either aborted or miscarried, no one is quite sure which, in 1973 poor innocent murdered babies.

The problem is that there are a METRIC CRAPTON (2.2 imperial craptons) of drugs that are tested for safety using HEK-293 cells.

Take particular note, if you will, of numbers 12 and 15 on the list of prescription medications and you may spot some familiar names if you’ve been following the trends in quack covid treatments.

Essentially, if Good Christians™ are going to take a moral stand against being vaccinated because of their opposition to abortion, they’re pretty much going to have to give up on modern medicine. Fortunately, at least one employer is asking anyone requesting a religious exemption from the vaccine to do just that.

If it’s a sincerely held belief, you have to be consistent, right?

  1. Dextromethorphan? That tears it then; Jesus Himself doesn’t stand a chance of getting between me and my sizzurp.
