Vaccines

Peace.
Recently, I had my flu jab and did not even ask as to what was used to make it. It was only after hearing a talk I realised that there are vaccines out there that are made of aborted fetus cell lines. I then made enquiries as to the name of the vaccine that I had been innoculated with. I found out that it was 'Fluarix' (I did not personally see the packaging but was told by the clinic) which was made from chicken embryo and the GlaxoSmithKline were the Pharmaceutical Company that produced these vaccines.
Ordinarily, most people would not have asked as to the type of vaccines and what it is made of out of ignorance and because we trust the doctors. Some might say that it does not make a difference what it is made of. I respect that but for me it is important as it is of an ethical and moral issue. Those Pharmaceutical Companies who uses the aborted tissues are in collaboration with the abortion clinics and if I believe (I hope most of you do) that abortion is murder (killing) then if I use it or agree with the use of these tissues then I am saying that I condone it.
Perhaps, we have been so hardened up with acceptance by society that it is okay to abort that we do not bother. The irony once again on this issue of abortion is that we have laws that states that killing is wrong and punishment is meted out but in this area it is swept under the carpet (a misconception that what you do not see is okay). Is there justice in this area?
The doctors should give a choice to the patient on the types of vaccines to be administered.
