For Immediate Release: March 31, 2020
(Clearwater, FL) For the second time in less than a week, Children of God for Life is calling out the pharmaceutical industry for the use of aborted fetal cell lines in potential Covid-19 vaccines.
On March 25th, the organization exposed Moderna’s use of the aborted fetal cell line HEK 293 and the morally produced version by Sanofi Pasteur. This time it’s Janssen Pharmaceutical, owned by Johnson and Johnson, that is using their PER C6 Ad5 technology, derived from an aborted baby’s retinal tissue. Dr. Alex van der Eb revealed the information on this abortion at FDA hearings in 2001:
“So I isolated retina from a fetus, from a healthy fetus as far as could be seen, of 18 weeks old. There was nothing special with a family history or the pregnancy was completely normal up to the 18 weeks, and it turned out to be a socially indicated abortus – abortus provocatus, and that was simply because the woman wanted to get rid of the fetus… what was written down was unknown father, and that was, in fact, the reason why the abortion was requested.”
Adding insult to injury, Dr. van der Eb went on to admit: “PER C6 was made just for pharmaceutical manufacturing of adenovirus vectors… And then pharmaceutical industry standard. I realize that this sounds a bit commercial, but PER C6 were made for that particular purpose.”
Not only are there moral problems with using aborted fetal cells, but the PER C6 Ad5 technology also has safety concerns that have been raised with the FDA as well.
“Residual DNA in vaccines derived from tumorigenic cells, including those transformed by Ad5, can pose potential risks to the vaccine recipient in two respects: oncogenicity and infectivity. Each of these biological properties must be considered and evaluated for each cell substrate.”
Vinnedge noted there is not one FDA-approved vaccine in the US using this cell line, though several did take interest when it was announced in 2001. One of those companies was Merck who tried the cell line in a new HIV vaccine but ended the project in 2007 when the vaccine proved to be ineffective.
“This is about as irresponsible as the industry can get”, stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director of Children of God for Life. “We have a worldwide pandemic where millions of people are in need of treatment and prevention of disease. Yet Johnson and Johnson is choosing to produce a vaccine that a large number of people of good conscience will refuse due to the aborted fetal cells!”
In their own Code of Business Conduct, Johnson & Johnson states that “We believe acting ethically and responsibly is not only the right thing to do, but also the right thing to do for our business. Our Johnson & Johnson Code of Business Conduct ensures that we hold ourselves and how we do business to a high standard, allowing us to fulfill our obligations to the many stakeholders we serve.”
But their use of aborted fetal material in consumer medicines is far from the high ethical standards or concern for their customers and stakeholders whom they are claiming to serve. The irony of what they are doing in using aborted fetal cell lines is not lost to the casual observer.
“How despicable that a company whose success was largely acquired from its’ products for living babies is trying to capitalize on the remains of a deliberately murdered one”, she added.
In light of the fact that the US just signed a $450 million dollar contract with Johnson & Johnson to develop a Covid-19 vaccine, we are asking the public to contact President Trump who has denied federal funding for aborted fetal research.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
We must pray for CEO Alex Gorsky. He must be blinded of the evil that he is partaking in. Please Lord, let the scales fall from his eyes and stop this evil from literally duplicating and further poisoning our healthcare.
Thank you for exposing this atrocity.
This needs to forwarded to every church in the country
Beyond the immoral collection and use of aborted human fetal tissue there is the total lack of Due Process for the child, the alleged unknown father and the mother- in the case of JNJ these samples should not have been used due to the total lack of informed consent due process. Convicted mass murderers on death row get more due process than the murdered unborn children.
Thanks for your article! I started the following petition 3 weeks ago. You may be interested.

The VP of Johnson and Johnson last year – Adrian Thomas – was selected by John Hopkins University and the Bill Gates Foundation to participate in EVENT 201 last October – this event simulated a proposed pandemic scenario … it’s no coincidence they are developing a vaccine with aborted children as they are involved with several pro abortion groups – they knew about the possibility of a pandemic before it even came out of Wuhan.
That is totally sickening what they do to the unborn of this world! They don’t deserve the death penalty for they [the unborn] committed no crime! I read about event 201, ID2020, and the Gates foundation! It is evil! DMC
It is very sick .
Well, I sent in my comment on the White House website. Wonder how they review those if it all…
Thank you Debbie for consistently fighting against this evil! God bless you! ?
Have they not killed enough women with their talcum powder products?
Shame on you Johnson and Johnson. One day you will all stand before God. Using aborted baby cells and tissue needs to be outlawed! And you should all go to jail.
You will stand before God one day and give an account for this sin.
Greed for name, power, recognition, and money will be the cadillac that drives them right into hell unless they repent and ask forgiveness and make amends.
I pray during these unprecedented times that the evil is bound up and truth rings free and the light shines bright showing the evil and the loveliness/goodness of truth, and for their conversion
Jesus Mary and Joseph help this happen STAT.
Amen
It’s beyond imaginable what greed, and money does to a mans heart. Such evilness, trust me God sees everything. Bill Gates is evil, and his conscious has been seared….EVIL man.
You all are great. You all have your eyes open! God is good. Thanks to all of you for standing up for what’s right.
It is a lonely road to refuse these vaccines, but I will continue on this road.
Thank you for all that you do.
