Should a,
could a, would a, – you be the judge?
After
reading the post you might wonder as do I, is it or is it not a steroid made
from a Fetus cell (sheep, or human)?
A pharmaceutical
company hell bent on getting into your bank-account will never tell you!
It really
does not matter to me however; it “darn tootin” should matter to anyone using it
and for sure (All Evangelical Christians pushing to end ‘Roe v. Wade’ Must
care)!
The
experimental treatment for the coronavirus that trump took last week and which
he has been touting as a miracle “cure” was developed using cells originally
derived from fetal tissue, according to new reports.
“293Ts were used in testing
the antibodies’ ability to neutralize the virus,” Alexandra Bowie, a
spokeswoman for Regeneron, confirmed to the Times. “They weren’t used in any
other way, and fetal tissue was not used in the research.”
The trump administration has previously condemned the
practice, and, in June 2019 suspended federal funding for most new scientific
research involving fetal tissue derived from abortions.
But in a video released on Wednesday, trump touted
the cutting-edge treatment as a “cure” for COVID-19 and
promised to provide it free to anyone who needed it.
The president was
administered Regeneron’s
cocktail of monoclonal antibodies — essentially man-made
proteins that act like those naturally produced by the human immune system to
fight viruses.
In order to test the potency of its antibodies,
Regeneron made use of HEK 293T, a human cell line once derived from the tissue
of an aborted fetus, according to the MIT Technology Review and The New York Times.
Regeneron applied for
emergency use authorization of the antibody cocktail to the Food and Drug
Administration on Wednesday night.
The anti-viral drug remdesivir, which the president also
received, was tested using the HEK 293T cells as well, according to the Times.
At least two companies racing
to produce a coronavirus vaccine, Moderna and AstraZeneca, are also
are using the cell line.
