I believe in vaccinations. I think every child should be vaccinated. All we need in this country to make it perfect is yet another outbreak of whooping cough, rubella, or some other disease that we should not be having.
I know that there are some risks associated with vaccines. I also know that the media blows things way out of proportion.
Whilst reading some comments on a facebook page, I noticed that someone commented on vaccines being made from the tissue of aborted fetuses. What?! Since when? Why weren't we told this? These are the questions going through my mind as I read this.
So to the web I go. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that aborted fetal tissue is not used today. But, the cell lines from aborted babies in the 1960's are used. Since I am not a scientist,biologist, or a doctor, I am not well versed in all the ins and outs of this.
The best I can make of it is this: The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shot is made form the cell lines of an aborted baby from the 60s. The CDC states that no fetal tissue is used. Only the cell lines from the fetus are used. The CDC also states that no DNA or minimal DNA from the fetus is actually in the injections. What does that mean?!
The problem is that even though they can store these cell lines in liquid nitrogen, eventually they are going to run out. Since the alternatives are less reliable in protecting us from these diseases, and have some serious side effects, you can draw your own conclusions as to what the government will do.
There is a plethora of information on the web about this. I am not citing my sources but I have leaving some links for you to peruse yourself.
