US bishops’ doctrine, pro-life chairmen address use of Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine

CWN Editor's Note: “Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines raised concerns because an abortion-derived cell line was used for testing them, but not in their production,” the prelates said. “The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, however, was developed, tested and is produced with abortion-derived cell lines raising additional moral concerns. . . . If one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s.”

    The prelates are splitting hairs here. There should be a clear directive that choosing J&J over the others is directly benefitting from an evil action--killing that baby.
