About that miracle antibody "cure" Trump took...

but not really. The cells were not from fetal tissue.

The two antibodies Regeneron eventually put forward as an experimental treatment, which may have saved Trump’s life, would have been selected using exactly such tests. Because the 293T cells were acquired so long ago, and have lived so long in the laboratory, they are no longer thought of as involving abortion politics.

“It’s how you want to parse it,” says Alexandra Bowie, a Regeneron spokesperson. “But the 293T cell lines available today are not considered fetal tissue, and we did not otherwise use fetal tissue.”

They came from a fetus.

You can't synthetically make fetal stem cells. You can only regrow them. But for someone harvesting those fetal cells in the 1970s, Trump wouldn't have been cured.

Amazing to think an aborted fetus in 1970 something saved Trump's life. Wonder how many more lives that fetus has now saved.

Maybe if that fetus would have been allowed to live, the person would have been a far superior candidate for president than Joe Biden!
