Good question. There are other options such as using cells from fetuses who died as a result of a natural miscarriage instead of being murdered. Or placental cells could be used. There are also other ways of breeding viruses or viral analogs which do the same thing without using human cell lines at all. For example, a Canadian company has developed a process where it uses tobacco plants to create the spike protein. The world would not end without exploiting aborted fetuses.
What if it was? You are misdirecting. You asked what would happen if we gave up all of the vaccines developed from those cell lines implying some sort of utilitarian argument. When it was pointed out that they are unnecessary, you point at a completely unrelated issue.
Those same cell lines are also used in developing products such as coke, a much less noble and utilitarian pursuit than even the things you suggest justify it.
The point of this discussion is that nobody should be forced to take any vaccine which is made with the cells of aborted fetuses or even one fetus, on moral grounds, and this is separate and apart from the issue of whether the vaccine is helpful or dangerous.
What would happen to it if we stopped using the vaccines that have been developed since 1966 using MRC-5 and HEK 293 cell cultures?

Got any links? We're hesitant to take the word of anonymous people on social media.
You're doing it again. It was one fetus.

And you're ignoring my question.
