Flu Vaccines delevoped in cell lines and the Risk of Cancer

I have been reading up on cell-line technology as it seems that things will begin to go more this way as companies can produce more vaccine, quicker.

Thia is really frightening IMO, Makes me happy I don't vax at all! Some vaccines are already produced using cell lines

In the 1960s, cells from aborted human fetal tissue, called MRC-5 and WI-38 cells, were developed and are still used for the manufacture of rubella chickenpox, hepatitis A and shingles vaccines.
It seems the FDA is aware of how risky it is to us use cell lines, particularly fetal cell lines as they are by nature cancer causing
Quote:
The fetal cells are transformed by infecting them with an adenovirus, turning them into “immortalized” cells and the capability to replicate endlessly. By their very nature, these cells are neoplastic (cancer-causing); researchers refer to them as “oncogenic” cells.

Since 1998, the FDA and its subdivision, the Centers for Biological Evaluation and Research (CBER), have been drafting regulations to allow use of both oncogenic and tumorigenic cell lines to be used in vaccine production. The FDA is fully aware that the new cell lines, especially the PER.C6 cells, have substantial risks, including the risk of potentially deadly adventitious (stray) viruses making their way into shots
check this out about Optiflu

Several cell lines are currently under investigation. Novartis’ EU-approved flu shot, Optaflu, was produced using a cell line called Madin-Darby (MDCK), cells extracted from the kidneys of a female cocker spaniel.

look at section 4.5.

Dr Eisenstein had a webinar on this. I'm looking through the archives to try to find it, but I can't remember which one it was (I've watched too many. lol). It's very interesting though! I'll check out your link when I have more time.
