Separate Section for Racial Profiling
Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Her comments on racial profiling need there own section because judging upon the controversy of the statements, they are less of “political statements” and more on the specific issue of racial profiling. I mean this in an unbiased way. Wheresaaronat (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Aborted fetal cell tissue and vaccines
Latest comment: 1 year ago5 comments2 people in discussion
North Dakota Dept. of Health: In various stages of vaccine development and manufacturing, some of the COVID-19 vaccines used cells originally isolated from fetal tissue (often referred to as fetal cells), some of which were originally derived from an aborted fetus
National Institute of Health: Helping patients with ethical concerns about COVID-19 vaccines in light of fetal cell lines used in some COVID-19 vaccines
Reuters: The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines used fetal cell lines in their testing stages. Johnson & Johnson used a human fetal cell line called PER.C6, developed from the retinal cells of an 18-week-old fetus aborted in 1985 in its production and manufacturing stages.

abortion opponents, who are increasingly split on whether to take COVID-19 vaccines that may have been developed with the use of fetal cells. Earlier this year, several of the nation’s biggest anti-abortion crusaders asked the Trump administration to prioritize creating a COVID-19 vaccine that is not in any way linked to fetal cells that were originally obtained through abortions.
Developers of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was also created by the University of Oxford, relied on that kind of old fetal cell line.
Pfizer and Moderna both use mRNA vaccine technology. Fetal cells were used early on in the development of that technology.Elizium23 (talk) 18:13, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
I've re-written that section to the Vice source. Your above sources which don't mention Abby Johnson would be irrelevant Original Research, but the Vice source does talk about fetal cell lines, and I've included statements sourced to Vice as a more thorough summary of the Vice source. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:45, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
@Avatar317, I appreciate your rewrite and I agree with the substance of the edits. But should we be leaning on the caution-yellow VICE source for answers on a WP:MEDRS topic? Elizium23 (talk) 23:50, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
Well, the three sources you linked above all support the statements about fetal cell lines and usage thereof for vaccine production and development (and technology development) as described in Vice, so those three support Vice being correct in this case. ---Avatar317(talk) 00:05, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
