Apel o etyczną szczepionkę przeciwko odrze, śwince i różyczce w Europie
W szczepionkach przeciwko odrze, śwince i różyczce M-M-RvaxPro i Priorix źródłem pozyskania wirusa różyczki [szczep Wistar RA 27/3] oraz użytych linii komórkowych [WI-38 i MRC-5] były ludzkie abortowane płody. Dla tych szczepionek nie ma etycznej alternatywy w Europie, a rodzice chcąc zaszczepić dzieci przeciwko wymienionym chorobom muszą niejednokrotnie z nich korzystać, co budzi sprzeciw sumienia.
Apelujemy do firmy farmaceutycznej MSD Vaccins – podmiotu odpowiedzialnego posiadającego dopuszczenie do obrotu w Unii Europejskiej szczepionki M-M-RvaxPro przeciwko odrze, śwince i różyczce oraz do firmy farmaceutycznej GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A. – podmiotu odpowiedzialnego posiadającego dopuszczenie do obrotu w Polsce szczepionki Priorix przeciwko tym samym chorobom – o alternatywną etyczną szczepionkę.
Tekst petycji w języku angielskim przekażemy adresatom, osobno każdej z firm.

Appeal for an ethical vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella in Europe
Addressee:
Cyril Schiever, President
MSD Vaccins

69007 Lyon
France
Dear President Schiever,
In the public interest we are appealing to you as the President of MSD Vaccins – the Marketing Authorisation Holder of the M-M-RvaxPro vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. The vaccine is produced using the WI-38 cell line, derived in 60’s of the XX century from the lung tissue of a child, who lost life as a result of abortion. We are appealing to MSD Vaccins to start to produce an ethical vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, which will be alternative to M-M-RvaxPro.
At the moment there is no an ethical alternative for M-M-RvaxPro in Europe, therefore many parents are forced to use it within immunizations for children, which raises a conscientious objection. The World Health Organization and the European Union’ approval for using human cell culture, derived linearly from the tissues of the bodies of aborted children in the process of vaccines production is disgraceful and entirely requires disapproval and a strong condemnation.
In M-M-RvaxPro’s Summary of Product Characteristics as well as in M-M-RvaxPro’s Patient Information Leaflet – published on http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/pl_PL/document_library/EPAR_-_Product_Info... – there is no clear information, that the source of the rubella virus [Wistar RA 27/3 strain] and WI-38 lung fibroplasts were human aborted fetuses. In the both documents encoded sentence: „Rubella virus, produced in WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, Wistar RA 27/3 strain [live attenuated]” for parents of vaccinated children is difficult to understand. That is why some parents may feel deceived and may be rightly outraged, because they were not aware what kind of product they used.
Every human being has the inalienable dignity of the human person from conception until natural death. Every human being has a natural and inalienable right to life. Abortion is a deliberate and direct killing of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth. If abortion is the taking a life of an innocent and defenseless human person, then this act is always and everywhere morally wrong.
Despite that during a pandemic of rubella in the USA in the 60’s of the XX century some doctors recommended an abortion to pregnant women, who had been in contact with the disease. Tissues collected from children bodies, obtained in this way, were examined for the presence of rubella virus. The virus received for production of vaccine against rubella has been clinically named: RA273, where R – denotes rubella; A – abortion; 27 – twenty-seventh fetus; 3 – third tissue explant. The virus was then cultured on the cellular line WI-38 [in USA] and MRC-5 [in UK].
The WI-38 cell line is derived from human lung tissue taken from about a three-month-old female fetus, who was aborted, because parents supposedly „felt that they had too many children”. The MRC-5 cell line is derived from human lung tissue taken from a fourteen-week-old male fetus aborted for „psychiatric reasons”. Both the lines are „expressis verbis” cells of these children, continuously grown in laboratory conditions „in vitro” culture.
Meanwhile the virus of rubella can be isolated from the smear of the throat of a child with clinical signs of rubella. It can be then cultivated on the line of stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood or bone marrow of an adult person. We wish MSD Vaccins to use modern, ethical technology. We are looking forward to having available in Europe, safe and effective measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, produced without the use of diploid cells of human fetal origin.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Dear President Stéphenne,
In the public interest we are appealing to you as the President of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A. – the Marketing Authorisation Holder of the Priorix vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. The vaccine is produced using the MRC-5 cell line, derived in 60’s of the XX century from the lung tissue of a child, who lost life as a result of abortion. We are appealing to GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A. to start to produce an ethical vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, which will be alternative to Priorix.
At the moment there is no an ethical alternative for Priorix in Europe, therefore many parents are forced to use it within immunizations for children, which raises a conscientious objection. The World Health Organization and the European Union’ approval for using human cell culture, derived linearly from the tissues of the bodies of aborted children in the process of vaccines production is disgraceful and entirely requires disapproval and a strong condemnation.
In Priorix’s Summary of Product Characteristics as well as in Priorix’s Patient Information Leaflet – published on https://pl.gsk.com/media/753038/priorix-fiolkaplusamp-strzykawka-ii-106-... and https://pl.gsk.com/media/753041/priorix-fiolkaplusamp-strzykawka-ii-106-... – there is no relevant information, that the source of the rubella virus [Wistar RA 27/3 strain] and MRC-5 cells were human aborted fetuses. In the first document encoded sentence: „Live attenuated rubella virus, produced in human diploid [MRC-5] cells, [Wistar RA 27/3 strain]” and in the second document minimal sentence: „rubella live attenuated virus” does not meet the information criteria, which is the transmission of truth. Such information for parents of vaccinated children is completely incomprehensible. That is why many parents may feel deceived and may be rightly outraged, because they were not aware what kind of product they used.
