Religious stupidity continues to astound me:

Australia's most powerful Archbishop has warned Catholics will have "ethical concerns" about the coronavirus vaccine the Federal Government struck a deal to purchase 25 million doses of last week.

Anthony Fisher, the Archbishop of Sydney, used social media to criticise the vaccine being developed at Oxford University, saying it "makes use of a cell line cultured from an electively aborted human foetus".

The vaccine, which is considered among the frontrunners in the global race to combat COVID-19, has been developed from a kidney cell line (HEK-293) taken from an aborted foetus, a common practice in medical research.

Professor Colin Pouton, from the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, said the HEK-293 cell was regularly used in medical research "to make viral vector products" because there are advantages to using mammalian cells.

"They're using the cell line as a packaging system to make the virus," he said.

"It's a cell line you can use to produce proteins or produce viral products."

Professor Pouton said the cell-line was developed decades ago and had been widely used around the world.

"It's not like people are using a new cell line," he said.

"It's already there, so in many respects the ethical issue is in history."

Fucking moron, if dog frowned on vaccines, it would not have allowed them to exist and be discovered in the first place.

What about Free Will Svarty? We have the freedom to turn away from sin and God is merely watching, with the great ledger in his hand, to see if we do, or not - like he always knew we would, or wouldn't.

Well I'd be in favour of more smiting myself, especially those that might persuade people not to inoculate.

France reports new outbreak at popular nudist resort

Regional health authorities in France on Sunday reported a “very worrying” outbreak of the coronavirus at a popular naturist resort on the Mediterranean coast, where at least 100 visitors tested positive last week as cases of infection across the country and in Europe began to climb once again.

You Europeans confuse me. Is this what is meant by the Mask Dick Treaty?

That's so wrong. The U.S. is the worst in the whole world because Trump. It is known.

[NineBerry]

It's just as bad as Sweden and the Netherlands which are as everyone knows socialist countries. Does that make the US a socialist country as well?

[Scot Dutchy]

Is it not strange that the countries with the strictest regimes (including masks) have the largest increase. They dont work! Will it finally seep through to the grey matter they are fucking useless.
