That sucks but if she was that susceptible to the virus getting the live virus may well have killed her outright, would that be better?

You don't need fetal tissue to make vaccines. They just use yeast to produce the vaccines and attenuated vaccines now. There's tons of alternatives to using fetal tissue that are much better.

Um, the polio vaccine WAS created using fetal tissues, he PRAISED the polio vaccine DIRECTLY.
As far as yeast goes, for production of vaccines, yes that is true for many vaccines (but not all).
However for the research that it takes to get to the point where production can be done in other than human cells, it still takes human cells.

What a misleading, bullshit headline. Fetal tissue is absolutely unnecessary for vaccine research or production. The article even admits it.
Much of what we know about preventing hypothermia comes from research conducted by Nazis where they exposed captured prisoners to the cold. We don't go around saying torture is okay because otherwise we wouldn't have North Face jackets and all freeze to death.

Go try to spin something else, between this and his declaring to his base that he will ignore the laws and Constitution and declare a fertilized egg to be a full person the day he is sworn in huckleberry is a lost cause. There aren't enough evangelicals to elect a president.
