SYDNEY - A senior Catholic archbishop has warned he is"deeply troubled" by Australia's vaccine deal with AstraZeneca, saying the potential vaccine uses a fetal cell line that creates an"ethical quandary" for Christians.
It also urges him to pursue other"ethical" vaccine candidates to ensure religious objectors have a choice. Fisher, writing in the forthcoming edition of Catholic Weekly, says he believes it would not be unethical to receive the vaccine"if there is no alternative available" but adds he is"deeply troubled by it".
A government spokesperson told AFP that Morrison - himself a devout Christian -"respects the views of Australia's many religious communities and understands the issues that are being raised".
