In a memo from Bishop Kevin Roades, chairman of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops Committee on Doctrine, neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccine involved the use of cell lines that originated in fetal tissue taken from the body of an aborted baby at any level of design, development or production.
“They are not completely free from any connection to abortion, however, as both Pfizer and Moderna made use of tainted cell line for one of the confirmatory lab tests of their products,” Roades wrote. There is thus a connection, but it’s relatively remote.
Some may question that if it’s remotely connected with tainted cell lines it makes it immoral to be vaccinated with them, Brynes wrote. The church has written extensively on the morality of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
