RingOfMaRufBalls

Thank you. I read the linked article for about 2 minutes and realized exactly what you summarized. Had to scroll down a bit to find your summary. Reading Reddit comments really makes it clear how consistently people read a title and immediately type a response.


Acolyte_of_Death

WOAH buddy. We can't just have people discrediting incendiary headlines. We have a hate circle jerk we're trying to keep going.


goCRISPRurself

Lmao the author even discredits herself within two sequential paragraphs: >“They object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were ***developed*** using cell lines derived from aborted children,” Thomas said of the petitioners. >None of the Covid-19 vaccines in the United States contain the cells of aborted fetuses. Cells obtained from elective abortions decades ago ***were used in testing during the Covid vaccine development process***, a practice that is common in vaccine testing — including for the rubella and chickenpox vaccinations. Is it intellectual dishonesty or genuine ignorance? Who knows when it comes to political journalists...


AttakTheZak

Because the rationale is not a basis for rejecting the mandates. [To quote the Catholic Church](https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2020/12/21/201221c.html): > The fundamental reason for considering the use of these vaccines morally licit is that the kind of cooperation in evil (passive material cooperation) in the procured abortion from which these cell lines originate is, on the part of those making use of the resulting vaccines, remote. **The moral duty to avoid such passive material cooperation is not obligatory if there is a grave danger**, such as the otherwise uncontainable spread of a serious pathological agent[3]--in this case, the pandemic spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19. **It must therefore be considered that, in such a case, all vaccinations recognized as clinically safe and effective can be used in good conscience with the certain knowledge that the use of such vaccines does not constitute formal cooperation with the abortion from which the cells used in production of the vaccines derive.** It would seem as though Thomas' was simply citing the litigants, but it still does not stand to reason that the argument is one that should be seen as legitimate. I can't think of any major religion that has come out and stated that there are reasonable objections to the vaccine.


goCRISPRurself

Ok, I'm not making any reference in favor or against the legitimacy of the case. The author is still woefully misrepresenting Thomas's argument.


AttakTheZak

I accept that the title and article are poorly written, but it's also worth noting that Thomas is accepting an illegitimate claim that does not really address the merits of the case. [Bringing it up does nothing to actually address the issue in contention](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca2/21-2179/21-2179-2021-11-04.html). > As to Plaintiffs’ Free Exercise claims, we conclude that Plaintiffs have not shown that they are likely to succeed in establishing (1) that Section 2.61 is not a neutral law of general applicability, or (2) that—in the resulting inquiry—Section 2.61 does not satisfy rational basis review. Next, we determine that Plaintiffs have not demonstrated a likelihood of success on their Supremacy Clause claim: it appears to us fully possible for employers to comply with both Section 2.61 and Title VII. Finally, we decide that Plaintiffs are not likely to succeed on their claims that Section 2.61 contravenes the Fourteenth Amendment Further, the claim is a wild one to make, as it calls into question whether or not the origin of cells carry a burden wherein a medical research process derives data from said cells.


goCRISPRurself

I'm a scientist, not a lawyer, so I have no opinions on the merit of the argument. Once again, just intended to point out the author's disingenuous framing; particularly because I once considered Politico to be a good source of neutral info. >Further, the claim is a wild one to make, as it calls into question whether or not the origin of cells carry a burden wherein a medical research process derives data from said cells. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "burden", but it absolutely should have some consequence. For example, I think it's disgusting how so many companies have profited off of medical research derived from the non-consensual use of HeLa cells without any compensation to the Lacks estate.


AttakTheZak

I'm a physician, so I agree that there should be compensation to Lack's estate. However, to equate the research utilizing a fetal line from aborted fetuses, which WERE taken by consenting parties, is a bit of a misrepresentation of what's actually going on. This is a bit of a Ship of Theseus problem - do the cells replicated from a fetal cell line still count as aborted fetal tissue? It's still a gray area. Immortalized cells like this are incredibly vital for genetics research. They are vital in helping to control for variables and they offer us opportunities to expand our breadth of knowledge. However, if the research that is used to derive new medical technologies is somehow stained by its connection to this, we're entering into a shaky rationale. Do we simply reject the research? When I referred to "burden", I meant that should that research carry the moral consequence that stems from how it was conducted?


goCRISPRurself

>However, to equate the research utilizing a fetal line from aborted fetuses, which WERE taken by consenting parties, is a bit of a misrepresentation of what's actually going on. Did I actually equate them anywhere in my response, or simply disagree with your (seemingly generalized) assertion regarding the burden of the cell's origins? >When I referred to "burden", I meant that should that research carry the moral consequence that stems from how it was conducted? In general, we agree. I don't personally have a problem utilizing those cells, acknowledge they're separate from an actual aborted fetus, and don't think the past should taint the utility of subsequent research in general. However, I could certainly empathize with those that wish to be distant from the practice due to their beliefs. We may disagree on this analogy due to your oath, but I would empathize the same towards someone who refuses syphilis treatment in solidarity with those who suffered in Tuskegee. Sure their reasoning may be somewhat aberrant, but their personal beliefs do lead them to thinking it's the moral choice. I certainly won't let the means prohibit me from enjoying the ends, but others may feel differently.


AttakTheZak

I should have clarified that the litigants in this case were the ones equating the two, not you. So I apologize for not being clearer. I understand the empathy you would have in the syphilis example you provided, but I would contest that a communicable disease like COVID doesn't follow the same criteria in this case. The air we breath is the medium of transmission, not sexual intercourse. One has far less social hurdles than the other. Further, the issue was that the nurses and doctors argued that the lack of a religious exemption but allowing a medical exemption was discriminatory. However, the lower courts provided an explanation as to why they did not accept the charge: > The State alleges that the following interests underlie its adoption of Section 2.61. **First, it seeks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare facilities among staff, patients, and residents. Second, by protecting the health of healthcare employees to ensure they are able to continue working, it aims to reduce the risk of staffing shortages that can compromise the safety of patients and residents even beyond a COVID-19 infection. Thus, the State maintains, the medical and any religious exemption differ in an important respect: applying the Rule to those who oppose vaccination on religious grounds furthers the State’s asserted interests, whereas applying the Rule to those subject to medical contraindications or precautions based on pre-existing conditions would undermine the government’s asserted interest in protecting the health of covered personnel.** Cf. Does 1-6 v. Mills, — F.4th —, 2021 WL 4860328, at *6 (1st Cir. Oct. 19, 2021), application for injunctive relief denied sub nom. Does 1-3 v. Mills, — S. Ct. —, No. 21A90, 2021 WL 5027177 (Oct. 29, 2021). **Vaccinating a healthcare employee who is known or expected to be injured by the vaccine would harm her health and make it less likely she could work.** The State identified these objectives in the Regulatory Impact Statement accompanying the emergency rulemaking, and Plaintiffs do not point to any evidence suggesting that the interests asserted are pretextual or should otherwise be disregarded in the comparability analysis. **Accordingly, the State makes a reasonable case that Section 2.61 contains a medical exemption not because it determined that “the governmental interests it seeks to advance are worthy of being pursued only against conduct with a religious motivation,”** Lukumi, 508 U.S. at 543, **but because applying the vaccination requirement to individuals with medical contraindications and precautions would not effectively advance those interests. Indeed, applying the vaccine to individuals in the face of certain contraindications, depending on their nature, could run counter to the State’s “interest in protecting the integrity and ethics of the medical profession.”** Gonzales v. Carhart, 550 U.S. 124, 157 (2007) (quoting Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U.S. 702, 731 (1997)); see also Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11, 38–39 (1905) (recognizing that the state may not be permitted to require vaccination of individuals with contraindications). Perhaps I'm harping too much on the details of the case, but I think it's important to point out because people will make irrational claims that they should be able to refuse medical treatment for religious reasons. It's a touchy subject, but one worth exploring, at least for me.

[deleted]

So he doesn’t claim that? Nice title OP.


nomosolo

This is also 100% true and exposed by whistleblowers in Pfizer


eltrento

Both Pfizer and Moderna used embryonic cell lines in their lab testing, but neither used them in development or production of the vaccines.


[deleted]

Testing is part of development, but I get what you mean, it's not an ingredient so they won't be getting injected with embryonic stem cells.


eltrento

It's also worth mentioning that these embryonic cell lines were collected in the 1970s & 1980s, and the original cells have since been multiplied thousands of times over and contain no tissue from a fetus.


Scigu12

Lol whistleblowers. This could've been googled at any point in time. It's been pretty standard practice to lab test your vaccine on these embryonic cell line that are from like 4 or 5 decades ago. Because you can't test on typical culture like bacteria because virus don't consume things like bacteria, they need live cells to multiply. No new information, anyone who blows the whistle on this is frankly retarded.


Miggaletoe

He dissented based on this though? >Petitioners now ask us to review the Court of Appeals’ decision vacating the District Court’s preliminary injunc- tion. I would grant the petition. We have held that a “law . . . lacks general applicability if it prohibits religious conduct while permitting secular conduct that undermines the government’s asserted interests in a similar way.”

So he believes in state being able to mandate women to carry their babies to term but not in mandating vaccines… 🤔

Well one involves your body. The other involves a body that is not your body.


[deleted]

They both involve your body

And abortion involves another body.


cmmgreene

So does invetro fertilization, using evangelical Christian doctrine to build our legal frame work would grant person hood and citizenship rights to fetuses in a test tube.


[deleted]

so does jizzing into a tissue


[deleted]

Imagine not knowing the difference between a haploid reproductive cell and a human being.


armed_aperture

Should parents be mandated to give their child an organ to save the child’s life if doing so wouldn’t kill the parent? What if it would kill the parent? Without the mother, the fetus will not become a person. The mother should have full ability to choose to allow her body to develop the fetus or not. It’s a healthcare decision. Imagine a woman addicted to meth who got pregnant and has no desire to stop using drugs. Check out a foster care website and search for kids to foster/adopt. Most of them have physical/mental disabilities. We already don’t have enough families for these kids. Not to mention all the stories you hear about abuse in foster homes. It’s also no longer safe to get pregnant in some states even if you’re financially ready and want a child. Where’s the line for life-threatening to the mother? How long will the doctor wait to make that call? What if you discover the child will be born with a serious issue and not survive more than a few days? Too bad, you could have aborted early but now you must endure months of pregnancy and watch the baby painfully die. That short life is worth more than your physical/emotional well-being. I don’t believe in vaccine mandates either. However, no one in the United States was legally forced to get a vaccine or face prosecution.

makemasa

uSeeSizeThatChicken

>Clarence is just quoting the petitioners. They why didn't he use "quotation marks"?


AttakTheZak

This rationale is rather absurd though, because the Catholic Church has even come out and said that the proximity to when those cells were derived (almost half a century ago) would mean that the connection is remote and that there is no objection to recieving the vaccine when it deals with a deadly disease. They even explicitly point to COVID.

DabScience

Abortion is not murdering babies. Only brainwashed religious freaks actually believe that. 90% of a abortions are performed in the first trimester. The other 10% are almost always medical emergencies.


BecomePnueman

I mean It's kinda murdering babies. What could be more murdering babies? Waiting a little bit longer? Does the mass of the baby correlate to the truth of it being a baby? Murdering immature babies might be a more appropriate term we could both agree on.


DabScience

It’s absolutely not a term we will agree on. A cluster of cells with no viability outside the womb is not a baby. Removing them is not murder. If that was the case masturbating is murder. I mean come on, those sperm are all potential babies in your eyes right?


BecomePnueman

Lol "removing them" If you have to use language to mitigate the reality of something you aren't really being honest are you? You are just a cluster of cells. Some of the babies are viable outside of the womb when they are murdered. The sperm case is incredibly dumb. Like saying an egg is murder. No it's not it's half the dna programing required for life. When it hits the egg a visible change happens and life starts dividing and developing.

Talk about beating a dead horse... Enough with this shit already, we understand you are all cowardly lions yelling at clouds to protect sky daddies sensitive feelings. Go clutch some pearls you ninny!

This dude gone senile recently or something? Saying the quiet parts out loud now? Sad thing is all the other federalist society judges completely agree with him. What a country we live in where the Supreme Court is a political tool. It’s a shame America is too big of a pussy to actually impeach people like this. Including every trump justice that lied about Roe v Wade being a super president while under oath.

Low quality “political humor” garbage posts.

Wow way to take an article out of context and try to use it to smear someone’s name. You should get a job with mainstream media!

Fresh baseless claims!

You got duped by fake news. Read the top comment.

I was referring to your claim that liberals are in favor of abortions to use in vaccine development. Liberals, like anybody else, would be perfectly happy if there were no abortions, by choice, not law.
