Moderna was not involved in the DNA construction, nor was it involved in the evaluation of the construction.ĭr. The production of the DNA vectors was studied and evaluated by experts at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the University of Texas, who determined that the spike protein was a good candidate for testing. The HEK 293 cell line is derived from a baby who was aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s. Scientists not from Moderna had initially made DNA vectors with the gene sequence of the spike protein, and injected them in HEK-293 cells to produce the spike protein. This triggers the production of antibodies and T cells by the recipient. The RNA is injected into the recipient, which induces their cells to produce the spike protein. Moderna’s vaccine is based on the virus’ RNA, and uses a spike protein, or peplomer, from SARS-CoV-2 rather than cell lines derived from aborted fetuses. The company plans to apply soon for approval to use the vaccine in the US. None of those vaccinated developed severe cases of the disease. In the trial, 95 people developed symptoms of Covid-19 five of them had received the vaccine, while 90 had received the placebo.
#MODERNA VACCINE WHERE IS IT MADE TRIAL#
The trial involved 30,000 people, half of whom were given two doses of the vaccine, and half a placebo.
Moderna recently announced that a trial of its vaccine demonstrated it to be 94.5% effective. Anthony List, has listed the Moderna vaccine among the “ethically uncontroversial CoV-19 vaccine programs.” I urge all who believe in the sanctity of life to reject a vaccine which has been produced immorally.”īut the Charlotte Lozier Institute, research arm of the pro-life Susan B. 16 that “Unborn children died in abortions and then their bodies were used as ‘laboratory specimens’.
While the Bishop of Tyler asserted Monday that the coronavirus vaccine being developed by Moderna “is not morally produced”, the National Catholic Bioethics Center and the Charlotte Lozier Institute have indicated it is ethical.īishop Joseph Strickland tweeted Nov.
