“Mom, WHY do I have to do this? History is sooo boring. Who even cares what happened 50 years ago?”

Like typical kids, mine were whining about what felt like pointless busy work. 50 years ago – that’s ancient history, right? As I heard my own response, it reminded me of an important truth: history matters because we have a tendency to repeat it – especially the negative history – and it’s important to learn from it instead. Theodore Roosevelt said it well, “The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.”

In light of that, are you aware of the surprising similarities between 1976 and 2020? Perhaps 2020 was not as “unprecedented” as we thought.

1976

1976 was an election year with a Republican incumbent who was ultimately defeated by a Democrat. In February, a young, presumably healthy army recruit died from a swine flu virus. The narrative around his cause of death led to wide-spread fear as it was compared to the 1918 flu pandemic. Large-scale deaths were predicted. In March, the CDC director (Dr. David J. Sencer) called on President Ford to begin a mass vaccination program. Ford sunk $137 million tax payer dollars into rushing vaccine development. Concerns about the safety of the vaccines were raised and quickly dismissed. Meanwhile, Congress passed legislation indemnifying vaccine manufacturers. By early October, Americans were lining up to receive the completed vaccine. 10 weeks later, 25% of Americans had received the vaccine, which left 25 dead and over 500 with Guillain-Barre syndrome (impacts peripheral nervous system and can lead to paralysis). The deaths and serious adverse reactions resulted in the vaccination program being shut down completely. The government, embarrassed over its failure, fired the CDC director.

2020

Now compare 1976 with the story of COVID-19 we all know too well. The outbreak began in China in late 2019. Concerns in the US led to lockdowns beginning in March 2020. Fears soared as COVID-19 was compared to the 1918 flu pandemic. Operation Warp Speed quickly granted billions of tax-payer dollars to pharmaceutical companies for vaccine development. Concerns over the safety of the vaccines were raised and dismissed. Meanwhile, the PREP Act protects vaccine manufacturers by providing immunity from liability during a declared emergency. Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna produced the first Emergency Use Authorized vaccines that were rolled out in the US on Dec. 14, 2020. Similar to 1976, many deaths and serious adverse reactions resulted from the rushed vaccines. This is where the similarities end.

Differences

Deaths from COVID-19 vaccines far exceed what we saw in 1976. There have been over 900 deaths in the first 8 weeks of COVID-19 shots (with only 13% of Americans receiving it). Yet, our vaccination program continues.

FACT: 25 deaths in 10 weeks shut down the 1976 rushed, government-funded vaccination program.

FACT: 900+ deaths in 8 weeks from a rushed, government-funded vaccination program seem to be ignored in 2021. *Update: 38,541 deaths reported as of March 28, 2025 (VAERS updates every Friday). See footnote for the weekly running list.

Contrary to our government’s reaction in 1976, the US seems to be doubling down on the messaging that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and greater uptake is essential in order to return to normal life. One example is this Facebook message to users.

What will you do?

Examining this history makes me wonder:

• Why aren’t we hearing about COVID-19 vaccine-related deaths on the news?
• Why are we still being told the vaccines are safe?
• Why are over 900 deaths (and counting) acceptable in 2021 when just 25 were shameful in 1976?
• What has changed and how have we changed since 1976?

Like my kids, some may be tempted to say, “Who cares what happened in 1976? Things are different now.” Yes, we have a different virus, but part of the response is history repeated (both our response and the government’s response). The question is, what will you do about it?

We hope you find them helpful!

I want to let you know about some important research out of Italy. Corvelva is an Italian organization with one of the few independent labs in the world capable of analyzing vaccine contents. Corvelva’s lab analyzed Priorix Tetra – GlaxoSmithKlein’s measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox vaccine – which is made using the MRC-5 human fetal cell line.

Their analysis found 360,000 fetal cells in the vaccine. Researchers did a complete genome sequencing of the Priorix vaccine, and found the entire human genome sequence of a male. This is consistent with what we already know about MRC-5 being derived from the lung tissue of an aborted male at 3 1/2 months gestation. It also found high rates of abnormality in the genetic code, and 560 genes linked to cancer.

Please take a few minutes to watch this powerful video summarizing Corvelva’s research that was presented at the Italian National Biologist’s Chamber conference on January 25, 2019. Corvelva’s paper, Vaccinegate: MRC-5 Contained in Priorix Tetra – Complete Genome Sequencing, is also available on its website and provides the detailed scientific research.

For more details about Corvelva’s research, please see the following:

• Corvelva’s Press Conference in January 2019 sharing more details about their research.
• Researcher Loretta Bolgan’s presentation sharing an update on Corvelva’s analysis on September 27, 2019. While the video is in Italian, the text summary that follows is an helpful snapshot of their findings.

Jump straight to White Paper

This post is an introduction to a white paper I’ve written (available in English and Deutsche). For anyone wanting more research and science about abortion, human fetal cell lines and vaccines, this paper is for you.

This project unexpectedly fell into my lap because of my child’s health crisis, stumping doctors nearly a decade ago. Exploratory surgery was recommended, and questions arose: Was it food intake? Was it allergies or medication side effects? Was the body interacting badly with a medication or vaccine? I started on a journey to find answers where all these questions and more were explored.

At first, the vaccine question seemed easiest to answer. Surely, I thought, it was just water and a weakened version of the virus. So I turned to the most reputable source I knew to investigate the ingredients – the Centers for Disease Control website. That was when I first saw the words, “normal human diploid cells.”

What? Why was the word “human” listed in multiple vaccines’ ingredients? Attempting to answer this initial question snowballed into years of combing through scientific literature dating back to the 1930s. It revealed a 60-year link between vaccines and the abortion industry, clearly demonstrating the reliance many vaccines have on human fetal cell lines. These fetal cell lines are created from aborted babies and used in the production of vaccines. My reading not only revealed the use of abortions in vaccine research and development, but other disturbing details, such as the deception of expectant mothers, the mistreatment of aborted babies (sometimes born and dissected alive) and the trafficking of and profiting from aborted babies’ organs, tissues and body parts.

This long history, plainly chronicled in scientific journals, directly contradicts the modern narrative that researchers used only two aborted children during vaccination development in the 1960s. Instead, they used hundreds – and still counting.

I have two purposes for writing this paper. The first was born out of the realization that many Christians and Christian ministries have unknowingly repeated this false narrative intentionally propagated by the abortion industry to cover up a sordid history. As a pro-life Christian, I want to provide an accurate history for those who care about or have spoken about this issue. Like me, many may not realize how the promotion of vaccines using human fetal cell lines may undermine their overall efforts to stop the legalization of abortion and the legislation surrounding it.

My second purpose centers upon a recent legislative push to remove parental rights by eliminating religious exemptions for vaccines. Prior to learning the history of vaccines, I didn’t understand why someone would want to exercise a religious exemption. It has become clear to me how pro-life Christians can hold legitimate biblical convictions against the use of aborted babies to create human fetal cell lines used in the production of today’s vaccines. State and federal legislators need factual data – substantiated by science – to present an accurate history of the use of aborted babies in vaccine development.

I pray this information may open your eyes and motivate you to action as it has me.

We all deserve to know the truth.

*1.12.21 Update: Since the onset of COVID-19, there are now many COVID-19 vaccines using aborted fetal cell lines either in the production of the vaccine itself or in the research, development, or testing. These include the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines already in use under the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) AND vaccines still in development. Click here to learn more.

Sitting with two precious women many years ago in the midst of their deepest grief profoundly impacted me. One grieved over a loss she couldn’t control, and the other grieved over her loss years before due to a choice. Yet they both grieved. One struggled with infertility and when she joyfully finally conceived, her precious children were miscarried. The other found herself in an unexpected, difficult situation and made the only choice she felt she had at the time, but deeply grieved that decision later. Both lost their babies.

I was honored to be present for one of those sacred times. I saw the twins, beautifully-formed and perfect, lying together. The powerful image of life created by God, however small, yet infinitely valuable is burned in my heart and mind. Though they joined heaven long before my friend was ready to say goodbye, those moments were a profound commingling of wonder and sorrow. The weight of such an intimate moment left me speechless and yet feeling so privileged to be there. We cried together when no words could be found.

This blog is written with the desire to honor life. It’s not intended to attack, demean or hurt anyone. Instead, I write to expose hidden truths that grieve me deeply. The saying, “Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes”, is one I identify with as I type. By God’s grace, I want to share what I’ve learned to help more people understand the inner workings of an industry we often implicitly trust without a second thought.

Current events have stirred up a renewed fervor, opening up conversations around issues of life. Regardless of your political perspective, it’s been difficult to ignore changes in New York’s abortion laws and proposed changes in Virginia. The debate centers around whether a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy at any point – even up until the day of birth.

On the heels of this expanding abortion legislation, my heart is deeply grieved. Grieved for the lives that will be lost due to this new found “freedom”. Grieved over the slow and collective deception of so many in our country. The deception runs so deep that our elected leaders passed the act in NY with smiles while receiving praise by many in the media.

There are many reading this blog who deeply value life at its inception, its end, and all points in-between. Perhaps, like me, from a young age, you’ve had a tender, protective place in your heart for the unborn, the elderly, the disabled, and those broken-hearted and struggling in countless seen and unseen ways. It is for this reason my heart sank one day while reading a journal article from the 1960s. What I learned was almost impossible to believe. Since the 1960’s fetal cell lines from aborted babies have been used for the research and production of the vaccines we use today. My eyes were opened, and my heart broke. The tears flowed on reading the cold manner in which researchers reported the utilitarian use of human lives taken too early.

Today, my heart is to share with those who deeply value life what I have learned through peer-reviewed science. I was surprised to learn the researchers didn’t even try to hide it back in the 1960s. They often listed the age and gender of the child… sometimes even with information about the baby’s mother. At least one of those researchers, Dr. Stanley Plotkin, was and is a self-avowed atheist. As recently as a 2018 deposition, he acknowledged taking issue with religion and showed disgust for people of faith to the point of laughing as he said he’d gladly go to hell for the babies’ lives taken in the name of research.

As one whose worldview is informed through the lens of God’s heart and His words in the Bible, I had somehow allowed the research and recommendations of an atheist to deceive my thinking. The thoughts and reasoning of this man, who does not value life in the same way I do, deceived me into thinking that because vaccines purport to be valuable life-savers, it was OK for others’ babies to die in order for mine to supposedly be more healthy. Even now, when I put it in black and white, it’s as shocking as it was when I first realized it.

Here are just some of the facts I uncovered in reading the full history in the peer-reviewed literature:

1. Vaccines were cultured exclusively on animal tissue prior to the 1960’s (animals such as the rhesus monkey).
2. Culturing vaccines on animal cells was useful but had unintended consequences. A well-documented example is the discovery of vaccines contaminated with the SV40 virus from rhesus monkey cells used in its production.
3. In the early 1960’s, Dr. Leonard Hayflick was the first researcher who set out to create a “fetal cell line” for use in culturing vaccines instead of using animal tissue.
4. A fetal cell line is derived from live cells taken from an aborted baby. The live cells are modified so they can replicate indefinitely.
5. In 1962, Dr. Hayflick developed the first fetal cell line called WI-38 (Wistar Institute, 38th fetal sample) from the lung tissue of an aborted 3 month gestation baby girl.
6. The data in his 1961 and 1965 papers show at least 23 aborted babies used in the research around the creation of WI-38. The number is likely higher, given that some of the cell strains he researched were not documented in his published papers.
7. Fetal cell line WI-38 is currently being used in the
   • MMRII (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
   • ProQuad (Measles, Mumps, Rubella + Chicken Pox)
   • Varivax (Chicken Pox)
   • Adenovirus vaccines (Adenovirus is used for the military).
8. Next, in 1964 Dr. Stanley Plotkin isolated a rubella virus strain, RA 27/3 (Rubella Abortus, 27th fetus, 3rd tissue culture explant), that was later used in Merck’s rubella vaccine.
9. RA 27/3 was combined with WI-38 to create the rubella vaccine we use today.
10. It is well established that almost 80 aborted babies were used in the research leading to the development of RA 27/3. Dr. Plotkin’s 1969 article cites 76 of those abortions.
11. Dr. Plotkin’s value of life is revealed through his actions. He tested his rubella vaccine on orphans as young as 14 months old and “seronegative mentally retarded children”. In a letter to the editor, he defended his colleagues’ unethical experimental research on those with disabilities at Willowbrook Hospital. He stated that “performing initial studies on children and adults who are human in form but not in social potential… nonfunctioning persons” is acceptable, even preferred. He went on to state, “Morality must be defined by circumstances and facts.”
12. In 1966, researchers at the Medical Research Council in the UK developed the fetal cell line MRC-5, from a 3 1/2 month gestation baby boy who was aborted for psychiatric reasons from a physically healthy 27 year old mother.
13. MRC-5 is used in numerous vaccines today, including:
    • ProQuad (Measles, Mumps, Rubella + Chicken Pox)
    • Quadracel (DTaP-IPV) *see update in footnote
    • Pentacel (DTaP-IPV/Hib) *see update in footnote
    • Twinrix (Hep A/Hep B)
    • Vaqta (Hep A)
    • Havrix (Hep A)
    • Imovax (Rabies)
    • Varivax (Chicken Pox)
    • Zostavax (Shingles)
14. After their initial creation, each fetal cell line is reproduced many times over. Though they theoretically reproduce indefinitely, they have a finite lifespan of use, as they become more oncogenic (tumor causing/cancerous) with each reproduction.
15. Due to the finite nature of the use of the current fetal cell lines, researchers have (since the 1960’s) continued to this day using aborted babies in their work toward creating new fetal cell lines.
16. Here’s a list of just a few fetal cell lines created in the years since WI-38, RA 27/3, and MRC-5 (with links to where some of these aborted fetal cells can actually be purchased): WI-44, MRC-7, MRC-9, HEK 293, PER.C6, IMR-90, IMR-91, TIG-1, Walvax-2.
17. The most recent fetal cell line, Walvax-2, was developed by Chinese researchers in 2015 using a 3 month gestation baby girl.
18. Walvax-2 researchers matter-of-factly describe intentionally aborting 9 babies using the “water bag method” of abortion. I had not heard of that method, so I researched it and discovered it’s illegal in the United States. As little value as our country places on life, this practice is so inhumane it is still banned in America. In layman’s terms, the mother’s uterus is filled with saline water so the baby can essentially be floated out of her uterus alive and in-tact. The baby is then given straight to researchers who quickly dissect them alive, because a viable fetal cell line requires live cells. In the researcher’s own words, the “tissues from the freshly aborted fetuses were immediately sent to the laboratory for the preparation of the cells.”
19. These aborted babies were used for research in 2015, not 60 years ago. It is a current and ongoing practice.
20. Walvax-2 was specifically developed as a replacement for the aging MRC-5 cell line. It was tested with rabies, hepatitis, and Varicella viruses, and was found to be “equal or superior to MRC-5 cells for cultivating these viruses”.

Excerpt from Dr. Hayflick’s 1961 paper showing aborted babies & corresponding cell strains

Dissecting aborted babies (many presumed to be alive at the time) for vaccine research has been a consistent and ongoing practice for the past 60 years. As I let that fact sink in, I wondered how I did not know. 

I had allowed minimal information to inform a most delicate decision for my children. I submitted without thinking critically to headlines and news articles. In the end, I allowed the thoughts of an atheist researcher with different moral, ethical and spiritual views than me to determine what I thought about such an important subject.

How does this impact the heart of our living God? As the creator and sustainer of life, I think His heart is deeply grieved over this practice.

This information created a crisis in my heart that I had to really sit with. I grieved over my contribution (passively due to my lack of knowledge, but contribution nonetheless) to the deaths of those babies and the ones being killed even now for research. As a follower of Jesus, and as one who takes a deeply pro-life stand, I had to re-think these vaccines and the role I played in supporting such a grievous industry.

Though this information is painful to consider, I hope you take some time to ponder it.

*1.12.21 Update: Since the onset of COVID-19, there are now many COVID-19 vaccines using aborted fetal cell lines either in the production of the vaccine itself or in the research, development, or testing. These include the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines already in use under the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) AND vaccines still in development. Click here to learn more. On the other hand, VFT is happy to report that Pentacel and Quadracel have changed their formulations and are no longer made with aborted fetal cell line MRC-5.
