The Religious Debate Over the J&J Vaccine Explained
There’s been a heated debate among conservatives and religious leaders over whether getting vaccinated is “morally acceptable,” considering the leading COVID-19 vaccines, including those made by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, were made using specialized cell lines originally derived from human fetal tissue, also known as cell lines. The tissue isn’t in the shots themselves, but it was used in the testing or making of the drugs.
Some conservatives are urging the public to avoid certain drugs, but others, including The Pope, maintain getting vaccinated is a “moral imperative”.
