Lyons-Pardue, who is herself a Christian, said pulling out specific sentences or phrases from the Bible and applying them to an argument, whether anti-vaccine or otherwise, without considering the historical context of the passages is a misuse of scripture. This is called"proof texting," she said and is unfortunately practiced across the spectrum of political ideologies and opinions, and historically was used to support slavery and the Holocaust.
She said that considering the larger context of many of the Bible passages referenced shows the value in the Bible for protecting human life, especially “infants, children, young people, old people, people with disabilities, people who are on the fringes or margins of society, people that broader society would, in fact, look down on within that time.”
Many others made the argument that only COVID-19 vaccines are derived from fetal cells, which equated to abortion or murder. Among the 105 responses reviewed by KPBS, abortion was referenced 89 times; murder 23 times.done in the 1970s and 1980s were used in producing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are manufactured without any such cells.
Twelve of the respondents described themselves as Catholic, and all of those 12 said they couldn’t take the vaccines because doing so equated to supporting abortion.
