Is it true that the flesh of murdered babies (embryonic stem cells) was used during the research for this vaccine?

You started and perpetuated multiple flamewars in this thread. That's criminal negligence if not arson. Would you please review the site guidelines and stick to the rules in the future? Note these:

"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say."

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Flesh of murdered babies" is an extreme violation of these rules. The internet is flammable and we ban accounts that blow threads up in this way, so please don't do it again.

The fact that you use the term "flesh of murdered babies" to refer to embryonic stem cells, which even the Catholic Church simply refers to as "aborted fetal cell lines", indicates that you've bought way too heavily into the right-wing American culture war. But anyhow, to answer your question despite the terrible way it was asked, no, the Moderna vaccine did not use embryonic stem cells in its development or producti…

The pro-life position gets flagged, welcome to HN.

Flamebait and flamewar rightly get flagged. If you had something substantive and thoughtful to say on the topic, it might have been different (hard to say), but you didn't even try.

I understand. What euphemism should I use in the future when discussing what goes on when making these vaccines?

Here's what I'd like you to understand: when you're talking to a large online audience, many of whom don't share your views, blasting them with extreme rhetoric has no persuasive value and does no good for the cause you care about. Indeed, it has an anti-persuasive effect and actually hurts the cause that you care about, as well as damaging the community here.

Vaccines are like 99.999% safe.. but we do give them to more than 100k people per year, so some people do suffer some unfortunate side effects including and up to seizures and brain damage. We've decided as a society that the benefits of widespread vaccination outweigh the legal rights of those harmed by their administration, so we've legislated away the ability to sue vaccine manufacturers for good-faith efforts at…

If the possibility of “unfortunate side-effects” is so low then why remove the ability for legal recourse?

Because capitalism privatizes profits and socializes costs whenever possible.

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 is the relevant law. The USSC upheld it 6-2 in a 2010 case.

Is COVID real? Yes! Is is really that bad as everyone makes it out to be? No! If it was that deadly of a virus, 9 out of 10 people would be dead by now. Do you need a vaccine? Nope, unless you want to take one and die. I have only been sick one time, and that was during Dec to Feb of 2019 when every human being was exposed to COVID. Have I wore a mask this entire time? No! Have I went and got tested? No! Will I go ge…

Is this GPT-3, trolling, or just honest stupidity? I'm having a hard time seeing the difference these days.

Personal attacks aren't allowed here, so please don't post them. Also, the site guidelines explicitly ask you not to feed egregious comments by replying, but to flag them instead. That's our polite rewording of "please don't feed the trolls".
