In reply to the discussion: RFK Jr Says Vaccine Contains 'Aborted Fetus Debris' [View all]hlthe2b
(109,407 posts)I am off to work a 16 hour shift so that will have to be my response for now, but you know NOTHING about vaccine development so as to spout that exaggeration of the process today. I'd bet you couldn't even tell me which vaccines are modified live virus versus so-called "killed" virus versus mRNA, versus vector vaccines, nor could you tell me the differences. I am appalled. But, the anti-vaxxers will take that horrific exaggeration to the bank--as though fetuses are being constantly aborted and collected for vaccine development, so congrats on promulgating that obscene implication--whether intentionally or not.
Your demonization and horrific exaggeration undoubtedly would extend to Henrietta Lacks, the African American woman whose cervical cancer DNA unknowingly provided the world with the first breakthrough in cancer research. Yes, her contributions did advance the use of cell lines in cancer, AIDS, and polio vaccine research, but would you applaud the racists who now claim the drugs and other advances must be shunned because a black woman's DNA originated the process? REALLY?
Keep it up, and all scientific advancement, prevention, and public health will be lost, and we will regress to the time when disease killed most of us before the age of 30. I, for one, will be content to leave this ignorance behind after dedicating my life's work to the former--to try to promote health for all.
