Protest against Vaccine Mandate! (Protect out freedom & faith)
Protest against Vaccine Mandate! (Protect out freedom & faith)
Vaccine Mandates are forcing people to violate their freedom - of choice of their conviction and their faith!
Vaccine is there and whosoever wants it, is free to take it, but when its being forced it becomes an issue!
If there is truly is great danger of dying from COVID-19 people would run, fight seek the vaccine! Moreover I'm sure that most would pay or would be willing to take loans to aquire it, and would be happy to get it!
But its not the case, because truly there is very low mortality rate, compared to US population and even lower worldwide!
Sure there are people in danger, that are older as well people with certain health issues that are more likely to have trouble recovering from the virus.
However most people are able to recover from it, despite most certainly inflated numbers of those that are tested positive.
But it does not matter because COVID vaccine is not able to protect you from getting sick - and it most certainly doesn't make you immune or not able to transmitt it! There are plenty of examples of even death of those that have taken the vaccine. Sure it may give you slight higher chance of not getting it than any other person that hasn't been vaccinated but what does?
Well if the person had COVID and recovered from it - than they have the highest level of immunity!
Referring to natural immunity as and alternative - that has work and is working in some countries around the world!
It should be up to everyone person to maybe take their chances but to make their own choice.
Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
It is my position that a person may be required to refuse a medical intervention, including a vaccination, as my conscience has come to a sure judgment and sincere belief concerning the origins of certain medical products. While I am not against the use of express vaccines, and I encourage the use of safe vaccines as a way of safeguarding personal and public health, I believe that there is a general moral duty to refuse the use of medical products, including certain vaccines that are researched, developed, or produced using human cell lines derived from abortions. This judgment about medical intervention should be respected as it is in accordance with generally held historical orthodox Christian perspective.(1)
I believe that scriptures determines a hierarchy of moral order as derived by scripture and tradition, and accordingly, damage to the “little ones” (2) is an exceptionally grave sin. Further, I believe that a child in the womb is created by God and knit together by His providential hands,(3) and that such child has the capacity to experience a litany of human emotions including but not limited to joy or pain.(4)
The use of derivative biological material from such a grievous act as abortion is sufficient grounds for the rejection of any and all vaccines created, researched, tested, developed, analyzed, or produced with such biological material. Here, the four primary COVID vaccines–currently available on the market (Exhibit A)–were developed using stem cell lines from the unborn (Exhibit B). Therefore, I have a religious obligation to rejection of the four currently available COVID vaccine.
1“How are they dead unless they were first alive? But still in the womb an infant by necessary cruelty is killed …” De Anima 25.5-6 Tertullian; “The woman who purposely destroys her unborn child is guilty of murder.” Letters, 188 St Basil; “You shall not slay a child by abortion” Didache or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles; “Reputed believers began to resort to drugs for producing sterility and to gird themselves round, so as to expel what was conceived on account of their not wanting to have a child … by a slave … [or] for the sake of their family and excessive wealth. Behold, into how great impiety that lawless one has provided by inculcating adultery and murder at the same time.” Refutation of all Heresies St Hippolytus.
I believe the principle of religious exemption, which is rooted in the long-standing corpus of United States Constitutional law, should be applied here. Finally, I agree with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s position as related to religious belief: “[b]ecause the definition of religion is broad and protects beliefs, observances, and practices with which the employer may be unfamiliar, the employer should ordinarily assume that an employee’s request for religious accommodation is based on a sincerely held religious belief” (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/section-12-religious-discrimination#h_9546543277761610748655186 and a religious accommodation, therefore, can be easily granted in my circumstances.
2“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
3“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13; “I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.” Psalm 22:10
4“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” Luke 1:4; “And the children struggled together within her; and she said, if it be so, why am I thus? ….” Genesis 25:22.

Moderna
The Moderna vaccine is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is found naturally in cells. It transfers the instructions from the DNA code, the sequence of nucleic acids, to make the proteins. The mRNA vaccine instructs a patient’s cells to produce proteins, in this case the spike protein found on the outer surface of the COVID-19 virus. This is the part of the virus that interacts with our immune cells. By stimulating the production of the spike protein, an antigen (antibody generator), the body builds up antibodies to it. Then if the body is infected with the whole COVID-19 virus, it is prepared to fight it. Moderna codes the vaccine as mRNA-1273.
How does an mRNA vaccine work? See Moderna’s website.
Fetal cell line: The HEK293 cell line (info here) originated from a healthy aborted child in the 1970s, age unknown.
Did Moderna use the HEK293 fetal cell line in research? Yes, they did in the research and development of the vaccine.
In March 2020, researchers explained in Science journal that they expressed the 2019-nCoV spike in the prefusion conformation 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.
In this preliminary report from July 2020, researchers explain in the supplementary appendix that ACE-2-overexpressing 293T cells were used in a neutralization assay to detect the presence of antibodies, a test to make sure the vaccine works as it should.
This August 2020 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 protein as expected. This is the in vitro (in the lab) mRNA expression test.
This U.S. patent for the in vivo (in the body) production of proteins explains a similar test, including testing the mRNA encapsulated in the lipid for delivery into the body. Again, they needed to see if the vaccine was stable and worked as expected.
Does Moderna use HEK293 fetal cell line in ongoing quality control testing during manufacturing? No, they answered that they do not.

Pfizer
The Pfizer vaccine, developed in conjuction with BioNTech, is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is found naturally in cells. It transfers the instructions from the DNA code, the sequence of nucleic acids, to make the proteins. The mRNA vaccine instructs a patient’s cells to produce proteins, in this case the spike protein found on the outer surface of the COVID-19 virus. This is the part of the virus that interacts with our immune cells. By stimulating the production of the spike protein, an antigen (antibody generator), the body builds up antibodies to it. Then if the body is infected with the whole COVID-19 virus, it is prepared to fight it. Pfizer/BioNTech codes the vaccine as BNT162b2.
How does an mRNA vaccine work? See Pfizer’s website for more information.
Fetal cell line: The HEK293 cell line (info here) originated from a healthy aborted child in the 1970s, age unknown.
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. They used the HEK293 cell line for testing the vaccine.
In September 2020, researchers explained that they used HEK293 in a neutralization assay to detect the presence of antibodies, a test to make sure the vaccine works as it should, 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. This is the in vitro (in the lab) mRNA expression test.
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.
Does Pfizer/BioNTech use HEK293 fetal cell line in ongoing quality control testing during manufacturing? We do not know.

AstraZeneca
The AstraZeneca vaccine, developed in conjuction with Oxford University, is an adenovirus-vector-based vaccine, which encodes the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Adenoviral vectors are genetically engineered forms of the virus. AstraZeneca codes the vaccine as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.
Fetal cell line: The HEK293 cell line (info here) originated from a healthy aborted child in the 1970s, age unknown.
Did AstraZeneca use the HEK293 fetal cell line in research? Yes, they did in the research and development of the vaccine, as explained in this scientific report from July 2020 in Nature journal. To propogate the virus in the HEK293 cells means to grow it in them. They will need to do this in ongoing manufacturing.
Does AstraZeneca use the HEK293 fetal cell line in manufacturing? Yes, see above, the viral vaccine is propogated (grown) in the cell line.
Johnson & Johnson
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, developed in conjunction with Janssen Research & Development, Inc., is an adenovirus-vector-based vaccine. Adenoviral vectors are genetically engineered forms of the virus. Johnson & Johnson explains the science behind their vaccine here. Johnson & Johnson codes the vaccine as Ad26.COV2.S.
Fetal cell line: AdVac® technology uses PER.C6® cell line (info here) originating from a healthy 18-week-old aborted child.
Did Johnson & Johnson use the PER.C6 fetal cell line in research and production? Yes, they did in the research and development of the vaccine, as explained in this scientific report from July 2020 in Nature journal and in this scientific report from September 2020 also in Nature journal. To propogate the virus in the PER.C6 cells means to grow it in them. They will need to do this in ongoing manufacturing.
All free people of the United States of America should stand to protect freedom and freedom of religion and human rights! Because today its going to be vaccine tomorrow its going to be something else!
