I ask @Bishopoftyler & Fr. Michael Copenhagen to reconsider & withdraw from speaking at this conference.
(The anti-vax movement is contrary to Catholic ideals & their presence at a conference gives a false impression fo Catholic teaching on the topic.) https://app.glueup.com/event/protecting-health-and-autonomy-in-the-21st-century-20563/speakers.html

First, the Vatican noted in 2017 that there is a “moral obligation to guarantee the vaccination coverage necessary for the safety of others.”
Although we take issue with growing vaccines on fetal stem cells these ARE MORAL if no other option is available. http://www.academyforlife.va/content/pav/en/the-academy/activity-academy/note-vaccini.html

The National Catholic Bioethics Center notes, regarding vaccination, “Parents… have a moral obligation to protect the life and health of their children and those around them.”
For this reason, Catholics CAN use vaccines grown on fetal stem cells. https://www.ncbcenter.org/resources-and-statements-cms/faq-on-the-use-of-vaccines

The NVIC who is sponsoring the conference has supported Jenny McCarthy who said autism was "like a bus accident."
Catholics should not be associate with such insults.

The NVIC referred to Jerry Kartzine as a "Doctor-Hero," & he said, "Autism, as I see it, steals the soul from a child; then, if allowed, relentlessly sucks life’s marrow out of the family members, one by one."
Again, we are called to charity to others.

Disgraced former doctor Andrew Wakefield is speaking. He admitted fabricating data to attempt to show vaccines cause autism.
ZERO studies show vaccines cause autism while the list of those that prove they don't is 21 pages long. https://www.aap.org/en-us/Documents/immunization_vaccine_studies.pdf

The Catholic Church has always been in support of good science. On the other hand, a large number of NVIC conference speakers have made false claims or claimed a fact when scientific evidence points away.
Most can easily be disproven, but that's for an article, not a tweet.

About a month ago, I wrote about vaccine disinformation being passed around in Catholic circles & by 1 author in particular. This article is not about @Bishopoftyler or Fr. Michael, but it applies. Let's focus on the truth as the truth will see us free. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/throughcatholiclenses/2020/09/debunking-catholic-disinformation-re-vaccines-vigano/
