Tout le monde doit se faire vacciner

Les évêques du sud et du nord du continent soutiennent le pape : nous devons être responsables du bien commun, car nous sommes une seule famille.  La vaccination est un act d'amour ! Pape François (18 août 21)

Everyone should be vaccinated.

As Pope Francis posted (18 Aug 21) on YOUTUBE -   The bishops of the south and the north of the continent support the pope: we must be responsible for the common good, because we are one family.   Vaccination is an Act of Love ! 

EPPC has organized the following statement (5 Mar 21) from leading pro-life Catholic scholars, including EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson, EPPC board member and Princeton professor Robert P. George, and EPPC Fellow and Notre Dame professor O. Carter Snead, along with two professors at pontifical universities in Rome and other U.S.-based scholars, to explain why it is morally acceptable for pro-life citizens to receive any of the COVID-19 vaccines currently available.

Statement 
 

CDF -  “It is morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process.”

Due to the situation of the ongoing pandemic, “all vaccinations recognized as clinically safe and effective can be used in good conscience with the certain knowledge that the use of such vaccines does not constitute formal cooperation with the abortion from which the cells used in production of the vaccines derive.”

"Il est moralement acceptable de recevoir des vaccins Covid-19 qui ont utilisé des lignées cellulaires provenant de fœtus avortés dans leur processus de recherche et de production."

En raison de la situation de la pandémie en cours, "tous les vaccins reconnus comme cliniquement sûrs et efficaces peuvent être utilisés en bonne conscience en sachant avec certitude que l'utilisation de ces vaccins ne constitue pas une coopération formelle avec l'avortement d'où proviennent les cellules utilisées dans la production des vaccins."

The International Federation of Associations of Catholic Doctors has published a helpful analysis of the vaccine, that should help resolve any unanswered questions. (by Zelda Caldwell, Aletia, 22/12/20)

Pope Francis said at the weekend that everyone should get a jab. “It is an ethical choice because you are gambling with your health, with your life, but you are also gambling with the lives of others,” he told Italy’s Canale 5 TV station. (Reuters, 14 Jan 21)

"No one must be left behind", says Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, in charge of the Vatican COVID-19 Commission, about the Covid vaccine. The Cardinal stresses the importance of its discovery by the scientific community, its inclusive distribution and everyone's responsability to protect his/her own life and the lives of others.
