This New Shingles Vaccine Is NOT Made Using Aborted Fetal Cells"This is a problem we have dealt with for years and we cannot thank GSK enough for doing it right. There is absolutely no reason to use the remains of aborted babies to produce vaccines." -Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director at Children of God for Life.
Vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella, hepatitis A, polio, and shingles—among many others—all used aborted fetal cell lines in their development.

The cell line used lung tissue from their aborted fetus of about 3 months gestational age. The MRC-5 cell line was developed in 1966 from lung tissue taken from a 14-week fetus aborted for psychiatric reasons from a 27-year-old woman. "Not only is GSK's Shingrix morally produced, but it is also a far superior product as evidenced by lengthy clinical trials," Vinnedge noted. "The studies demonstrated that Shingrix is 97% effective in people over 50 years old. It also maintained 90% efficacy in those 70 years old and above with 95% immunity maintained after four years. "On the other hand, Merck's Zostavax, is only 38% effective in people over 70 and only 40% duration of immunity after four... Continue reading here.
