Archdiocese of New Orleans says "NO" to Johnson & Johnson's "vaccine"

+


"The Archdiocese of New Orleans is warning local Roman Catholics that the newly authorized Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine is "morally compromised" and should be avoided in favor of other vaccines because of its connection to abortion.   

"The Church issued a statement on the matter Friday, saying that cells used to develop, test and produce the one-dose shot are derived from abortions performed in the 1970s and 1980s.

"The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is "morally compromised, as it uses the abortion-derived cell line in development and production of the vaccine as well as the testing," the statement said."
