An Italian priest who shunned COVID-19 vaccines over the false belief that they contain “aborted embryos” has died at the age of 51 after battling coronavirus for several weeks.

Don Paolo Romeo had resisted pleas to get vaccinated from friends and colleagues who tried to talk sense into him, according to the L’Unione Sarda newspaper.

Romeo, who served as parish priest at Santo Stefano Abbey in Genoa, had clung to the conspiracy theory espoused by followers of French Catholic Archbishop Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre: that COVID-19 vaccines are made using cells from aborted embryos.

(This claim is false and has been debunked even by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which noted in a statement released in January that “neither Pfizer nor Moderna used an abortion-derived cell line in the development or production of the vaccine.”) Fetal cell lines, which are cloned copies of cells taken from elective abortions that were performed decades ago, were used in the testing of vaccines and have frequently been used for the testing of widely used drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin.

1. I don't know why the rabid religious people spouting this nonsense don't just take a pill

and off themselves. Seriously. You listen to them and their whole goal in life is to die and be with God. So pack your bags and go already. The sane would like to avoid being infected.

7. Another piece of evidence

You can not fix stupid.

Sorryantivaxxer.com is a great read. I've yet to come across a sorryvaxxers site.

While I don't wish death on anyone, I'm ok if MAGA leaning Republicans get sick and die off. I don't know the percentages, but I'd have to guess that 75% of deaths after vaccines became available are to republican voters.

8. Oh well.

One more needless martyr for the cause.

9. I'm shocked that God did not intervene

but then again, god NEVER intervenes. It's almost as if a god does not exist.
