      I've already told you multiple times (as have several others in the thread) and written a blog post about it. Enjoy your alliance with antivaccine groups and helping to further their ends with deceptive rhetoric.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/06/12/senate-bill-1055-antivaccine-fear-mongering/ …

      But by taking a fact and trying to twist it into some quasi-religious anti-vax conspiracy, you are the one harming your own health policy goals. You're caricaturing yourself to exactly the sort of people you wish cared about the facts.

      So you're not a doctor, not a scientist, not an immunologist, not a biologist. Understood.

      There are plenty of medical professionals involved in our organization. But that's not the point, you're stuck with arguing about degrees and the finer points of the definition of "derived," because you don't want to just say "people don't have a right to know."

      This isn't about people having a right to know. It's about legislating the doctor patient relationship, telling people one piece of misleading information, and hoping it will prevent them from getting vaccinated. (1)

      If you would like this information available to people with strongly held beliefs there are other ways. For one, you could create resources yourself. If this was really about the right to know you could tell people the whole story and let them decide. (2)

      I have serious concerns about how this legislation misrepresents the science of cell lines. But it can't be ignored that not vaccinating is a serious public health issues. (3)

      How does "derived from aborted fetal tissue" misrepresent science? It's absolutely true.

      The exact wording is "immunizing agent derived from aborted fetal tissue." As has been explained to you before, the "immunizing agent" (i.e., the virus used to make the vaccine) is NOT derived from aborted fetal tissue. There is one exception. Let's see if you know what it is.

          It is derived from aborted fetal tissue. You can't change the definition of "derived," the aborted baby is the source of the cells used in growing the virus.

          The fact that you do not understand why that's not true and haven't latched on to the one arguable exception to my characterization of these vaccines as not having been "derived from fetal tissue" shows me that you really don't know what you're talking about. Sad!
