Anti-vaxxers are claiming vaccines are derived from aborted babies as they demand religious rights for taxpayer funding.

The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network (AVN) believes forcing parents to give their children vaccinations is a violation of religious freedoms, according to the Daily Telegraph.

They also claim some vaccines ‘contain the proceeds of abortion’.

The AVN told the federal parliamentary inquiry into religious freedom that some of its members have been forced to quit work, after the federal government stopped childcare subsidies for unvaccinated children.

‘To use vaccines prepared with the products of abortion is a moral evil, and a direct violation of the teachings of pro-life religions, which include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism,’ the group told the inquiry.

Australian Medical Association president Michael Hannon said the group was promoting ‘bizarre conspiracy theories’.

‘The AMA will not let religious freedom be used in a completely irrational and unscientific fashion.’

According to the Australian Immunisation Handbook, some vaccines are grown using ‘cell lines’, some of which were derived from human foetal tissue in the 1960s.

‘These cell lines have been growing under laboratory conditions for more than 40 years, and there has been no further foetal tissue obtained since the 1960s. The cell lines are not included as a component of the vaccine.’

Viruses grown in cell lines are used in vaccines for rubella and MMR, hepatitis A, varicella and rabies.
