The Deputy Chief Medical Officer has downplayed religious concerns over the use of foetal cells in the development of a coronavirus vaccine.

Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher expressed concerns over the Oxford University trial drug which uses embryonic stem cells in manufacturing. Dr Nick Coatsworth reassured people of faith, however, saying researchers worked according to a high ethical standard.

“The reality for vaccines is that they need cell cultures in order for us to grow them, the human cell is a really important part of their development,” he said. “There are strong ethical regulations surrounding the use of any human cell, particularly foetal human cells.” Image: AP

So is Catholic Archbishop going to tell everyone to stop rubella, measles, rabies, poliomyelitis, hepatitis A, chickenpox or smallpox vaccines? These all have tissues from aborted embryos.

Darwin Theory it is then.

How do you ease fears of people who are opposed to being injected with aborted foetus cells ? I must admit it does not inspire me, to have the jab !

Well did you expect him to be critical of it? That’s reserved for proven treatments that are cheap and already on the shelf. Better to push and defend something that’s not even developed yet.

Archbishop says he would boycott Oxford vaccine developed using cells of aborted foetusReligious leaders write to Prime Minister Scott Morrison raising ethical questions about the potential vaccine being developed at Oxford University using cell lines from an electively aborted foetus. I always take notice of people with invisible, imaginary friends. The Catholics are at it again, ensuring that medieval practices trump science for the betterment of their fuckboy culture. *I’ll put $20 in the collection plate on my way out. Gotta draw a line on child abuse somewhere I guess.... if only they were as worried about children who have been born already

There is 'no logic' to Australia's avoidance of nuclear power | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Michael McLaren says it is simply fear and ideology that is keeping Australia from using nuclear power.\n\nAustralia has 40 per cent of the world’s uranium reserves, and yet it is illegal to operate a nuclear reactor in the country.\n\nThere are 450 nuclear power plants worldwide. \n\n“Even Joe Biden … and his Green New Deal is saying that small, modular, nuclear reactors have to be part of America’s future,” Mr McLaren told Sky News host Alan Jones. \n\n“Even sleepy Joe gets it, and yet out here, as you said, we’ve got the world’s largest uranium mine at Olympic Dam.\n\n“Cory Bernardi knows better than most, South Australia could become one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the world if they allowed nuclear energy and the safe storage of waste in the middle of nowhere in South Australia.\n\n“And yet for whatever reason - there’s no logic to it, it’s just fear and ideology - we don’t proceed.”\n\nImage: Getty Michael ... Read the fine print......its all about money. I don't care about ideology, the fear factor may bring out the Chernobyl cheer squad. The reality is electricity is already too expensive. Nuclear power will really hike up the price further. Go nuclear or go home. We dont want Nuclear. Use Solar or wave technology and lead the world that way instead of following suit with bad ideas. The Pacific is already full of Nuclear waste from Japan, we should learn lessons.
