(Clearwater,
FL) For the second time in less
than 30 days, Children of God for Life announced it has discovered plans to use
the Crucell, NV aborted fetal cell line PER C6 in yet another new vaccine.
The vaccine will be developed by Med-Immune Inc., a pharmaceutical
company based in Gaithersburg, MD, for protecting against influenza.
On
July 19th Children of God for Life disclosed the findings that new
Ebola and HIV vaccines are also under development using PER C6, a fetal cell
line created using the retinal tissue from an 18 week gestation aborted baby.
According to Dr. Van der Eb from Crucell, , “PER C6 was made just for
the pharmaceutical manufacturing of adenovirus vectors.”
He adds, “I realize that this sounds a bit commercial, but PER C6 were
made for that particular purpose.”
For
years, the pharmaceutical companies have stated that the existing fetal cell
lines used in many of today’s vaccines would be sufficient since the cell
lines were supposed to be immortal. However,
that is not the case and the newest PER C6 cell line does possess the potential
of immortality, but only because it introduces the possibility of carcinogenics
into the cell line. According to
the FDA report:
“Since
cell lines such as 293 and PER.C6 express the Ad5, vectors of this type are
thought to have significant potential for vaccine development because of their
demonstrated ability to generate cell-mediated immune responses to HIV. However,
a feature of regulatory importance associated with Ad5-transformed cells is
their capacity to form tumors in immuno-deficient animals such as nude mice.
Factors that could influence the risk associated with the use of Designer Cell
Substrates include (1) the known mechanism of cell transformation leading to the
development of tumorigenic cells; (2) residual cell substrate DNA; and (3) the
presence of adventitious agents, especially oncogenic viruses.”
“Not
only are the new vaccines under development an affront to those who oppose
abortion and fetal tissue research, they are also potentially deadly,” said
Children of God for Life Director, Debi Vinnedge. “Why would anyone who learns the truth about these vaccines
want to use them especially when there are ethical alternatives on the market right now?”
Letters
are once again being sent to the Department of Health & Human Services, the
CDC and FDA to protest this latest development. Addresses are as follows:
NOTE: THE EXISTING FLU VACCINES SUCH AS FLUVIRIN AND FLUSHIELD UTILIZE CHICK EMBRYO - NOT ABORTED FETAL TISSUE.
