This week, President Donald Trump extolled the cutting-edge coronavirus treatments he received as “miracles coming down from God.” If that’s true, then God employs cell lines derived from human fetal tissue.

The emergency antibody that Trump received last week was developed with the use of a cell line originally derived from abortion tissue, according to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the company that developed the experimental drug.

The Trump administration has taken an increasingly firm line against medical research using fetal tissue from abortions. For example, when it moved in 2019 to curtail the ability of the National Institutes of Health to fund such research, supporters hailed a “major pro-life victory” and thanked Trump personally for taking decisive action against what they called the “outrageous and disgusting” practice of “experimentation using baby body parts.”

But when the president faced a deadly encounter with covid-19, his administration raised no objections over the fact that the new drugs also relied on fetal cells, and anti-abortion campaigners were silent too. Most likely, their hypocrisy was unwitting. Many types of medical and vaccine research employ supplies of cells originally acquired from abortion tissue. It would have taken an expert to realize that was the case with Trump’s treatment.

1. What hypocrites...rant and rave about this issue constantly, yet will turn around and use the fruits

of research using this material. By the way, the materials used to make the antiviral CV cocktail came from cell materials gathered from a Netherlands abortion done in the 1970s.

2. Specifically, they are talking about HEK293T cells

293T cells are one of the most ubiquitous cell lines used in research labs worldwide.

I don't think I ever knew they were derived from tissue from an abortion, although I did know they were fetal (HEK=Human Embryonic Kidney).

Trump should definitely be asked about this, repeatedly.

Seems a little twisted

6. I think the disagreement at first was whether the actual cocktail he received had fetal cells.

This explains the fetal cells being used during its development.
