For some vaccines, the active ingre...To Anonymous:<br /><br />For some vaccines, the active ingredient is grown in laboratories on cultures that contain human cells. Some viruses, such as chickenpox (varicella) grow much better in human cells. After they are grown, the viruses are purified several times, to remove the cell culture material - thus it is unlikely that any human material remains in the final vaccine.<br /><br />For vaccines used in the UK, human cell strains are used to grow viruses for three vaccines - the rubella part of both MMR vaccines; the shingles vaccine; both chickenpox vaccines.<br /><br />The cell strains currently used (WI-38 and MRC-5) were started in the 1960s using lung cells taken from two aborted foetuses. The abortions were legal and agreed to by the mothers, but they were NOT performed for the purposes of vaccine development.<br /><br />In 2005 the Pontifical Academy For Life in Rome issued a statement - *Moral Reflections on Vaccines Prepared From Cells Derived From Aborted Human Foetuses.* This statement said it is wrong to make vaccines using human cell strains derived from foetuses, and that there is a moral duty to continue to fight against the use of such vaccines, and to campaign for alternatives.<br /><br />But the Pontifical Academy also said that if the human populations are exposed to *considerable dangers to their health* through diseases such as rubella (German measles) then *vaccines with moral problems pertaining to them MAY ALSO BE USED ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.* My emphasis.<br /><br />Measles infections during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight, and increased risk of preterm delivery. The actress Gene Tierney lost the child she was carrying when a fan embraced her during a movie premiere.<br /><br />The current influenza vaccine has been 45 per cent effective overall against seasonal influenza A and B viruses. The flu vaccine has been 50 per cent effective against influenza B/Victoria, and 37 per cent effective against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09.<br /><br />Mercury in the flu shot? Each vial has only trace amounts of mercury - 25 micrograms, which is about the same amount in a three ounce can of tuna fish. The amount of mercury in vaccines recommended for children is close to zero.<br /><br />HPV is the name given to a very common group of viruses. Vaccination is most effective when given to children at ages 11 to 12. The vaccine will help protect them against cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, vulval cancer, anal cancer, cancer of the penis, and some cancers of the head and neck.<br /><br />There are (relatively) small numbers of people who may be severely allergic to a vaccine ingredient, even if it is only in trace amounts (for example, egg proteins or antibiotics). <br /><br />Vaccine ingredients can look unfamiliar, but many of the substances used in vaccines are found naturally in the body. For example, many vaccines contain salts based on sodium and potassium, which are essential for life.<br /><br />I hope my science is correct, but even if errors are present, the science of vaccination cannot of itself be *propagandized*. A priest I knew saw children dying of measles in Africa, a tragedy that could have been prevented. He witnessed the sorrow of mothers.<br /><br />You have not given one jot of evidence that coronavirus pandemic is a *scam* or that vaccination programmes (cited in my above comment) have NOT saved millions of lives. <br /><br />The Lord has given us science as He has given us reason. Christians have a duty to protect the body from disease just as we have a duty to teach children to take due precaution when crossing the road. <br /><br />Death is the Last Enemy as the Apostle Paul said; death and all its suffering was never part of God's plan for us since it came through sin and the Fall. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary, death is the gateway to eternal life. <br /><br />Thank you for your prayers, they mean everything to me.John Haggertyhttp://www.banneroftruth.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-56703623219152917272020-05-23T15:40:51.373+01:002020-05-23T15:40:51.373+01:00"Drinking the Kool-Aid" is an expression..."Drinking the Kool-Aid" is an expression used to refer to a person who believes in a possibly doomed or dangerous idea because of perceived potential high rewards. The phrase often carries a negative connotation. It can also be used ironically or humorously to refer to accepting an idea or changing a preference due to popularity, peer pressure, or persuasion. In recent years it has evolved further to mean extreme dedication to a cause or purpose, so extreme that one would "drink the Kool-Aid" and die for the cause. <br />The phrase originates from events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died. The movement's leader, Jim Jones, called a mass meeting at the Jonestown pavilion after the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and others in nearby Port Kaituma. Jones proposed "revolutionary suicide" by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs which had been prepared by his aides.[1][2].

The procedure is never without risk, especially when the vaccine is newly developed. Viral infections cannot be protected against by vaccination if the virus is of a type that mutates rapidly. The practice of using mercury in vaccines adds to the risk. Seasonal flu vaccine is almost useless.<br /><br />The virulence of coronavirus is now turning out to be related to malnutrition.

After more than six decades in ...Dear Mr. Haggerty,<br />After more than six decades in this world, I am able to tell when someone is a "true believer" in a propagandized issue. Your indoctrination into the Wuhan Virus scam is obviously thorough, and it is likely that nothing I write or say will change your mind. However, just to demonstrate that I was not intending to be flippant about a topic which you clearly hold dear, I will bring up just a few points about your love affair with vaccination. You wrote:<br />"Vaccination is the most effective medical intervention ever introduced. Together with clean water and sanitation, vaccination programmes have eliminated infectious diseases which killed millions of people, most of them babies and children."<br />I am assuming -- perhaps wrongly -- that you are a Catholic, as we have been corresponding on this manifestly Catholic blog. Therefore, I am perplexed how you can make such a sweeping statement about vaccines, when there have been so many moral issues involving their development. As just one example, the MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine, that every child here in America is required to have as an infant, is morally repugnant, in that at the Rubella vaccine is made with stem cell tissue originally procured from aborted babies. Perhaps you were ignorant of that fact? This info is readily found on numerous websites, none of which can be called Catholic, or even Christian, by any stretch. This is officially admitted. And while we are on the subject of the morality of vaccinations, tell me, if you can, how it is right and proper for a nation's health department to shove down the throats of unsuspecting parents the HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, under the guise of "preparing these young adolescents for sexual activity"? Meanwhile, in the last decade, countless youngsters, otherwise healthy, died or were disabled after starting these horrible vaccines. Reminiscent of the 1950s experimentation of Salk's polio vaccine, which crippled thousands of children, eh?<br />I could go on and on, but when you say that "this is a serious health issue," it seems that you have this underlying fear that the worst thing that can happen in life is to become sick or die. Catholics may worry about disease and death, but not to the point of being prepared to give up their right to the Sacraments or to suspend charitable work. We don't dwell unnecessarily on fear of what can happen to our bodies, when we are much more concerned with spiritual aspects of our lives. That is the whole theme of this beautiful piece by our Brighton based Catholic blogger. I am completely in his corner. And you should be, too.<br />Remember that no power on earth has any jurisdiction over the Catholic Church. No bishop has any authority whatsoever under Canon Law to close churches and restrict you from the Sacraments. And our civil authorities can not infringe on the sovereignty of Holy Mother Church.<br />I will be in church today, assisting at the traditional Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, without face masks and fear, and I will say a Pater Noster and an Ave for you.<br />In Christo,<br />Marinaio Marinaiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847223450416266460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-65235717527875497382020-05-21T22:21:33.023+01:002020-05-21T22:21:33.023+01:00Will there be widespread opposition to a mandatory...Will there be widespread opposition to a mandatory vaccination programme that might be presented to us by Bill Gates and his allies in the medical-industrial complex? And can vaccine resisters expect to be penalised by their governments and health authorities?<br /><br />These are questions raised by Michael Voris in his YouTube vlog for Church Militant, The Vortex 20 May 2020 - *Arrest Bill Gates*. The title of the vlog comes from a statement made by a member of the Italian Parliament who is unhappy with the way her government is handling coronavirus lock-down.<br /><br />From my above comments it is clear that I take a very positive view of vaccination as it has been applied in my generation and my parents' generation; and that makes me as pro-science as Richard Dawkins, one of the great communicators of our time.<br /><br />But Michael Voris is always worth listening to, and I number myself among his admirers. As they used to say, *This story will run and run.*<br /><br />And a recent Vortex worth watching - *Vigano for Pope* (May 11).<br /><br />I think we can all agree on that, Laurence!John Haggertyhttp://www.banneroftruth.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-51477066268639879022020-05-21T14:29:43.842+01:002020-05-21T14:29:43.842+01:00Dear Marinaio,

You are pandering to an anti-vaccine lobby that thrives on ignorance of successful vaccination programmes, Laurence.<br /><br />You pander to a foolish anti-science lobby that is ignorant of immunology, ignorant of diseases that wiped out families. My late mother, born in 1917, remembered when small coffins were a frequent sight. Even I, born in 1951, remember the postwar polio outbreak.<br /><br />I suggest you develop a theology of health care, Laurence. As Michael J Matt observed in his vlogs, the Catholic Church pioneered the way in health care, and nuns worked tirelessly in hospitals for the incurables. They did this for the Gospel.<br /><br />Jesus of Nazareth healed people in the body as well as the soul. Pilgrims visit Lourdes hoping to be cured. Between 1979 and 1984 Pope John Paul gave a series of 129 lectures on the body, developing an anthropology in which the human body reveals the mystery of God. (See The Theology of the Body, Wikipedia.) <br /><br />Vaccination is the most effective medical intervention ever introduced. Together with clean water and sanitation, vaccination programmes have eliminated infectious diseases which killed millions of people, most of them babies and children.<br /><br />Since 1924 in the United States, vaccines have prevented 40 million cases of diphtheria and 35 million cases of measles. Every minute five lives are saved worldwide by vaccination.<br /><br />Vaccines, with new technologies, prevent and treat communicable diseases in all age ranges, but also non-communicable diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.<br /><br />In the 20th Century smallpox killed 300 million people but because of vaccination it has largely disappeared. The saying that beauty is only skin deep came from smallpox survivors who had to live with facial scars.<br /><br />In 1900 life expectancy in the USA was 47.3 years. Today it is over 70 years. Communicable diseases such as pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, smallpox, pertussis, measles, and typhoid fever were the main causes of death, children and young adults being most at risk.<br /><br />In 430 B.C. Thucydides noticed that people who survived deadly contagious diseases (perhaps because of their immune system) did not contract the disease a second time.<br /><br />Modern medicine developed when Jenner discovered that it was enough to expose volunteers to an agent that mimicked the disease, such as the pustulae derived from cowpox, rather than exposing them directly.<br /><br />Once the microbial origin of infectious diseases was discovered in the 19th Century, Pasteur pioneered vaccine development. He exposed people to dead or attenuated micro-organisms that mimicked the infectious agent, but did not cause disease.<br /><br />In the 1940s the discovery that viruses could be grown (in vitro) in animal cells allowed the development of many vaccines against poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis A, and more recently rotavirus and influenza.<br /><br />You show a photograph of a priest giving the Eucharist to a woman, both wearing masks. You say this is unedifying. What on earth are you talking about?<br /><br />The coronavirus is breath-borne. Supposing the priest infected the woman, leaving her children without a mother? What if the priest then infected other parents? <br /><br />Scientific health care has nothing to do with a globalist one-world agenda, if such a thing exists outside of the feverish minds of internet conspiracy freaks. <br /><br />The anti-science agenda will only confirm the view atheists have of Christians as backward looking fundamentalists.<br /><br />John Haggertyhttp://www.banneroftruth.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-23608034022430527592020-05-20T02:17:05.392+01:002020-05-20T02:17:05.392+01:00Truly inspirational!

It is one of the tricks used by the devil to trap them.<br /><br />The closure of churches should not impair anyone's private prayer life - on the contrary, we need to redouble our efforts and establish better habits and routines of prayer and spiritual reading. Retreat to the desert became a practice after Christianity become the state religion of Rome under Constantine, and the fall into the Arian heresy of the later fourth century. Some of the desert fathers did not attend church for months and sometimes years on end yet still attained spiritual perfection. <br /><br />Since the epidemic began, many wonderful liturgies which have been made available on-line and can be watched prayerfully and attentively. It is also worth keeping in mind that there is, and always has been, more to the Catholic Church than that part of it over which Rome claims authority.

Especially dangerous are vaccines that are rushed into production before adequate testing. Ask: who is producing the vaccine? Who is paying for it? Who will be the test guinea pigs?

All through ... Thank you for your excellent article. All through this coronavirus/Covid-19 scare, I kept trying to tell people that there is so much propaganda & I’m NOT afraid of catching the virus, I’m just concerned about the absolute craziness surrounding it. I am concerned about how our rights are being taken away & how quickly & easily people/sheeple are giving up their rights & continue to do so more & more! <br /> It was extremely upsetting to see them closing our churches & restricting access to Jesus & the Sacraments. I would have hoped that some people would have kept calm & would not acquiesce or would not allow them to take away our freedom of religion. When I saw that they closed the healing baths at Lourdes, I thought that was completely ridiculous. Where is the faith!?! What are the miraculous healing waters at Lourdes for, anyway!?! <br /> Talk about FEAR ! Wow! People are crazy with FEAR! Unfortunately, sad to say, they do NOT trust God. I kept thinking of that verse in the Bible, wondering about when Jesus returns will He find any faith. I wonder even more about that, now, seeing how people reacted to this so-called pandemic. <br /> Your article made me think about a quote that I sent to friends during this time in which too many are fearful... I found the quote that I sent to them when I was looking for a shirt online to replace a well used shirt of mine that reads, “With God, All Things All Possible.” I was pleasantly surprised to find a Hawaiian shirt with paintings of palm trees & the seashore & Saint Father Damien’s leper colony Church & a beautiful quote by Saint Mother Marianne Cope. She helped out with the lepers <br />& <br />was quoted as saying, <br />“I am not afraid of any disease, hence it would be my greatest delight ever to minister to the abandoned...”<br /> Mother Marianne Cope & Father Damien were true Christians. They truly loved as Christ loves. They did not shy away from taking care of lepers even if there was a great possibility that they could die from leprosy themselves. They trusted God & decided to put their lives in His hands as they helped the lepers. Father Damien contracted leprosy, but as far as I’ve read, Mother Marianne & her religious sisters never did. Each did God’s will & accepted whatever God allowed in their lives. Father Damien & Mother Marianne are both declared saints, now, enjoying heaven with God. <br /> Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13). Perfect love casts out all fear. <br /> I pray that God will cast out all our fears & helps us to love as true Christians.
