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.
