Catholic leaders have found a way to bring abortion into this non-issue.

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops have issued a statement advising their followers to avoid the COVID-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson and instead favour those made by Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna. The reason given is that AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson allegedly used abortion-derived cell lines in their development, production and clinical trials, posing a moral quandary for devout Catholics.

Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé issued the following strongly worded response denouncing the statement by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and encouraging all Quebecers to trust the experts.

“I vigorously denounce this declaration of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. I invite all Quebecers to trust our experts and those from around the world: all the vaccines we administer are effective.”
