Which COVID-19 Vaccines are Produced or Tested with Fetal Cell Lines?

Fetal cell line: The HEK293 cell line (info here) originated from a healthy aborted child in the 1970s, age unknown.

The name HEK stands for “human embryonic kidney,” the 293rd experiment. It is worth noting that these were not early embryos. The aborted babies had to be old enough for the adrenal organs to have fully developed. (source)

Did Moderna use the HEK293 fetal cell line in research? Yes, they did in the research and development of the vaccine.

• Researchers explained in Science journal that they expressed the 2019-nCoV spike protein using HEK293 cells. That means they made the spike protein so they could study it, and they used HEK293 cells as the medium to express it in. 
• Preclinical trial report in Nature journal also explains that researchers transfected HEK293 cells to test expression. That means they added the vaccine in each step of development to the cells to see if they produced the spike protein as expected. This is the in vitro (in the lab) mRNA expression test. (source)

Did you know that the Moderna experimental injection also contains other objectionable cell lines?:

• a Vero E6 (ATCC) monkey cell line hosted from “Cercopithecus aethiops“, the African green monkey 
• and Huh7.5 cells, a carcinoma (cancer) cell line that was originally taken from a liver tumor in a 57-year-old Japanese male in 1982

Once the spike protein is built, the fetal cells are not used again.  But the protein IS used – and the mRNA IS used – and both were built on technology that extensively used aborted fetal cells, rendering the vaccine absolutely immoral from start to finish. (source)

Did Pfizer/BioNTech use the HEK293 fetal cell line in research? Yes, they did in the research and development of the vaccine, similar to the way Moderna (above) did.

• Researchers explained that they used HEK293 in a neutralization assay to detect the presence of antibodies, and they transfected HEK293 cells to test expression. That means they added the vaccine in each step of development to the cells to see if they produced the protein as expected. (Read more about TRANSFECTION which changes your DNA here).
• This U.S. patent describes how they made RNA molecules encoding fusion proteins (like the spike protein) and tested them in development. They used a variety of cell lines, HEK293 among them, but do not specifify which cell line they used for the COVID-19 vaccine. Again, they needed to see if the vaccine was stable and worked as expected. (source)

Did you know that the Pfizer experimental injection also cultured using other objectionable cell lines?:

• Vero 76 monkey cells (ATCC) and Vero CCL81 monkey cells both African green monkey genomic DNA (source)

Similar to Moderna’s “v”, once the spike protein is built, the fetal cells are not used again.  But the protein IS used – and the mRNA IS used – and both were built on technology that extensively used aborted fetal cells, rendering the vaccine absolutely immoral from start to finish.
