Catholics Urged To Shun Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Over Abortion Link
The Archdiocese of New Orleans has instructed Catholics to avoid Johnson & Johnson’s new COVID-19 vaccine because researchers used stem cells distantly linked to two abortions decades ago.
The Roman Catholic organization called J&J’s vaccine, the first one-shot preventative against the coronavirus, “morally compromised” because it was developed using cloned stem cells originally derived from two fetuses aborted in the 1970s and 1980s.
“The archdiocese must instruct Catholics that the latest vaccine from Janssen/Johnson & Johnson is morally compromised as it uses the abortion-derived cell line in development and production of the vaccine as well as the testing,” the archdiocese wrote in a statement last week.
“We advise that if the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is available, Catholics should choose to receive either of those vaccines rather than to receive the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine because of its extensive use of abortion-derived cell lines,” the archdiocese continued.
