Regarding my statement that the Catholic Church ha

Regarding my statement that the Catholic Church has discouraged folks from getting vaccinated, well I'm really not excited about doing an hour research to find resources I've read. Yes, I should have used different wording. I should have stated that "I read" the Catholic Church is discouraging people from getting a vaccine". I did read something similar to that over-generalized statement, somewhere. After some research just now, I'd say what I read was an intentional exaggeration....a "catchy" headline. There has been discussion, some accurate, some not, regarding the use of stem cells from aborted babies, to make vaccines. There were 2 Catholic Bishops that claimed the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was using such stem cells to produce their vaccine, yet is appears that the stem cells from one aborted baby, was used in the original development of the Moderna vaccine.
The following is a quite generalized statement about the J & J vaccine......
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops—the official group representing the church in the U.S.—urged Catholics Tuesday to avoid taking the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine if other options are available, saying the J&J vaccine "raises questions about the moral permissibility"—even though Johnson & Johnson has stated it did not use fetal tissues in its vaccine.
