No Babies Were Aborted to Make the MMR Vaccine
The Real Truth About Vaccines
Why do some people think that 99 babies were aborted to make the MMR vaccine?
The usual suspects…
No Babies Were Aborted to Make the MMR Vaccine
The usual suspects who always seem to be at the center of every large measles outbreak these days!
In this case, we have Claudia Beiler, a wellness influencer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the site of our latest, large measles outbreak.
“Claudia Beiler, a Lancaster mother of five and a Christian wellness influencer, said she has dropped off vitamins, coffee, and dinner for friends and others in her community who were quarantining at home.
Beiler has posted frequently to her more than 110,000 Instagram followers about her decision not to vaccinate her children. She has also offered tips about how to weather measles cases at home.”

A Christian wellness influencer who scares people away from getting vaccinated and protected by pushing misinformation and propaganda about MMR vaccines, putting them at risk to get measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
How?
In addition to promoting the false idea that the risks of the MMR vaccine are worse than the risks of having measles, she misrepresents the MMR vaccine’s distant association with abortion.
“It should be noted that today it is no longer necessary to obtain cells from new voluntary abortions, and that the cell lines on which the vaccines are based in are derived solely from two fetuses originally aborted in the 1960’s. From the clinical point of view, it should also be reiterated that treatment with vaccines, despite the very rare side effects (the events that occur most commonly are mild and due to an immune response to the vaccine itself), is safe and effective.”

Yes, the MMR vaccine is made using descendant cells from an abortion done in the 1960s.
But of course, the abortion wasn’t done to make the vaccine.
“It should be obvious that vaccine use in these cases does not contribute directly to the practice of abortion since the reasons for having an abortion are not related to vaccine preparation.”

And the cells used today are copies of the original cells.
In fact, the cells have been repeatedly copied.
And those copies that are removed from the final MMR vaccine.
Can you guess why Claudia Beiler doesn’t mention any of that in her posts about the MMR vaccine?
None of that sounds as scary as the misinformation from other anti-vaccine influencers she launders, does it?
Not scary enough to intentionally put your kids at risk to get a life-threatening disease?!?
Not scary enough to start an outbreak in your community?!?
Plus, in saying that the risks of the MMR vaccine outweigh the risks of having measles, know that these kinds of ‘wellness’ influencers overstate vaccine risks and minimize the risks of having measles!
Stop listening to them!
Stop the outbreaks.
