Covaxin: A Vaccine We Can All Get Behind

Covaxin: A Vaccine We Can All Get Behind 2021-12-17T10:19:29-05:00 Fr. Matthew P. Schneider, LC

I posted a piece on another vaccine over on FrMatthewLC.com:

For the last year, the main two COVID vaccines in the USA have been Pfizer and Moderna. Now, Bharat Biotech and Ocugen have applied for approval of their Covaxin vaccine by the FDA. Covaxin got emergency use authorization from the WHO in early November 2021.  Pfizer and Moderna have a remote connection to abortion via testing on fetal cell lines, but Covaxin has no connection in production, development, or testing. On top of this, Covaxin may be one of the most effective existing vaccines against the Omicron variant. Furthermore, for those who are cautious about new tech like mRNA vaccines, Covaxin is an inactivated virus vaccine.

Let’s review the basics on Covaxin, look at FDA approval, propose a response to the current situation of the vaccine, and look at the response by those who have objected to vaccines tested on fetal cell lines.

You can read the rest over there. Let’s write the FDA to encourage them to approve a good vaccine not just discourage bad vaccines as others have insisted.
