@Lurch, I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent and educated person. I read the labels on the food I buy, I have a good relationship with my doctor who has actually taken the time to explain to me how vaccines have been made in the past and the how the mrna vaccine is manufactured. I believe that stem cell research has done a lot to advance modern medicine. So many of your assumptions you make in your recent rant are in fact wrong. I am a curious person by nature so took a few seconds to look up HEK296 and found this. I have not double checked the information on here but it seems plausible:

It is interesting that those who wish to influence the thinking of others tend to only promote the part of the picture that will generate fear or revulsion. The original cells were harvested in 1973 according to this article, and then cloned. I wonder how the cell structure may have been altered in the 50 years since. My knowledge of microbiology is extremely limited, perhaps someone can enlighten me.
