Arthur Sometime ago I got into an online debate with a fellow who opposed ESCR. He would not let his children be vaccinated for the usual childhood diseases, measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc., because we both agreed, aborted fetal tissue was used in the development of these vaccines. I thought this was "common knowledge" so I can't substantiate it. Someone on this List (no longer on List) who I trusted attested to me about the "aborted fetal tissue" and vaccine connection several years ago which is why I didn't question the polio connection.. Maybe someone else knows for sure. Your cousin's finding that this info is mainly available on religious sites is interesting. Why would they lie about this? Their kids get sick too. Maybe its the abortion issue.
