@angelobottone better you than me taking that risk :)
@angelobottone By the way the vaccine was **not** derived from a cell line using abortions. So your discussion there is moot.
it's a clone of a clone of cells originated from an aborted fetus. it does not contain the aborted fetus, but it is correct that its is derived from one.
It is true that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is created, in part, by growing a modified virus in cells originally derived from embryonic kidney tissue sourced from an abortion performed in the 1970s. Crucially, however, the vaccine does not “contain” this cellular material. The viral molecules grown in these cells are chemically and physically separated from the cells in which they were incubated and do not make it into the final product. Therefore, it is false to claim, as the video does, that the process of being vaccinated for COVID-19 with the AstraZeneca vaccine means being injected with “aborted fetal tissue fragments.”

First off, the AstraZeneca vaccine is not currently approved or being administered, on pfizer and moderna vaccines are, so that is not the vaccine we are discussing.
Snopes is not a scholarly source so we can just ignore that entirely and skip right to a scholarly source on the issue.
Here is a quote from an actual **medical** source:
>Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells?
>Answer from infectious diseases expert James Lawler, MD
>No, the COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any aborted fetal cells. However, Pfizer and Moderna did perform confirmation tests (to ensure the vaccines work) using fetal cell lines.
> When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines currently approved for emergency use, neither the Pfizer nor Moderna vaccines used fetal cell lines during the development or production phases. (So, no fetal cell lines were used to manufacture the vaccine, and they are not inside the injection you receive from your doctor.) However, both companies used the fetal cell line HEK 293 in the confirmation phase to ensure the vaccines work. All HEK 293 cells are descended from tissue taken from a 1973 elective abortion that took place in the Netherlands.
If astrazeneca was approved and is actively being administered then that is news to me. Possible I just missed that though.

these specific ones do not, no. i don’t know the method they used to extract the spike protein.
you are wrong that astrazenica does not have a vaccine approved for use though. the WHO has approved it, although its use seems to be getting cancelled in the countries its fielded for being ineffective.
