Eurasia Review: “Pro-Life Leaders Call for Coronavirus Vaccine Without Abortion Ties”
NCBC president Joseph Meaney joined many other pro-life leaders and several bishops as co-signer of an April 17, 2020, letter calling the Trump administration to produce an ethical vaccine for coronavirus:
“It is critically important that Americans have access to a vaccine that is produced ethically: no American should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus and violating his or her conscience,” said the April 17 letter to Dr. Stephen M. Hahn, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“Fortunately, there is no need to use ethically problematic cell lines to produce a COVID vaccine, or any vaccine, as other cell lines or processes that do not involve cells from abortions are available and are regularly being used to produce other vaccines,” it continued.
