And I know this disorder is felt by many of you around the world as well.

We are told that vaccines are the key.

But the current offering of vaccines has raised key ethical questions and prompted many emails

to us from listeners like Calum, Benjamin, Anna, Heather, Megan, Michelle, Krista, Tanisha,

Matt, Carolyn Candace, Daniel James, and Franco, just to name a few.

The listeners all share one dilemma.

Several coronavirus vaccines developed in the states and globally were made from the cell

lines of aborted children, healthy children, who were murdered.

Most notably, this includes the fetal cell line called HEC 293 from the Kidney of a Healthy

Girl aborted in 1972 and Per C6 from the retina of a healthy boy aborted in 1985, apparently

these in similar cell lines have been used since the 1960s to manufacture vaccines against

Rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A, shingles, hemophilia, rheumatoid, arthritis, and cystic

fibrosis.

Now in June, Science Magazine reported that at least five coronavirus vaccines under development

in the states were created using one of the two human fetal cell lines.

But by the fall, it became clear that the two leading vaccines here in the states, those

from Moderna and Pfizer, the vaccines currently being shipped, do not contain these fetal

cell lines.

Now in the case of Moderna, this claim has since been called into question, but in either

case, it was later reported that both Moderna and Pfizer used the HEC 293 cell line in the
