While the Bishop of Tyler asserted Monday that the coronavirus vaccine being developed by Moderna "is not morally produced", the National Catholic Bioethics Center and the Charlotte Lozier Institute have reached a contrary conclusion, saying the vaccine's production is not ethically problematic.
Bishop Joseph Strickland tweeted Nov. 16 that "Unborn children died in abortions and then their bodies were used as 'laboratory specimens'. I urge all who believe in the sanctity of life to reject a vaccine which has been produced immorally."
