This note is to let you know that neither myself nor my wife nor my four children will ever use a vaccine which has been cultured in fetal tissue or which involves the destruction of human life after conception. This point is neither negotiable nor changeable. Our family will either make use of conscience clauses to opt out of vaccines altogether or avoid any activities which mandate vaccines which are destructive of human life. With other pro-life families feeling similarly, the approval of such vaccines will mean gaps in achieving desired vaccination levels. To prevent such a situation, the use of alternative methods of culturing vaccines, and avoidance of using fetal tissue, would be much the best way to go.
