Catholic leaders are urging the faithful to avoid the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine if they can because it is produced using cell lines derived from abortions decades ago.
But the vaccines themselves do not contain fetal tissue and the manufacturing lines use lab-grown cells — not the initial tissue.
“There is no remnant of the original abortion in the cell line,” said Barry Bloom, former dean and Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson professor of public health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The Vatican in December said it is “morally acceptable” to get COVID-19 vaccines, citing the harm from the pandemic and the fact that recipients did not play a role in the long-ago abortions that sparked the cell lines. But the Archdiocese of New Orleans kicked off a debate this week by dubbing the J&J vaccine “morally compromised,” as the Catholic Church opposes abortion.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops followed suit by saying “if one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s.”
The debate is swirling even as federal and state officials urge Americans to take whatever vaccine they can, including the newly approved J&J vaccine.
The J&J version requires one dose instead of two and should accelerate efforts to wrangle the deadly pandemic. An initial shipment of nearly 4 million doses went out this week.
