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.

Um, the polio vaccine WAS created using fetal tissues, he PRAISED the polio vaccine DIRECTLY.
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.

Unnecessarily. They used fetal tissue unnecessarily. Try to keep up.
