The outlet reported that Justice Thomas declared that COVID-19 vaccines are created with cells derived from "aborted children." Although, Thomas mentioned petitioners' arguments in his written dissent and did not say it as fact.
Thomas dissented to the Supreme Court's denial to hear a case on Thursday which challenged New York's vaccine mandate based on religion.
In the written dissent, Thomas announced, "Petitioners are 16 healthcare workers who served New York communities throughout the COVID–19 pandemic. The object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines derived from aborted children."

Obviously, the Justice was paraphrasing the lawsuit, yet Axios chose to mislead readers by issuing a "reality check" on Thomas' announcements. A reality check is similar to a "fact check."
"Reality check: No coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. contains the cells of aborted fetuses," Axios stated.

Furthermore, "Some vaccines have used fetal cell lines during the early stages of the vaccine development, but the final products do not contain fetal cells. Additionally, these fetal cells came from elective abortions "performed decades ago."

The fetal tissue that was utilized in such processes was from elective abortions that took place decades ago.

The cells used have since been replicated many times over and none of the original tissue was used in the making of such modern-day vaccines.
The vaccines contain genetic material that instructs cells to make proteins, known as messenger RNA which trains the immune system to fight off the coronavirus.

Anyway, you must be wondering why fetal cells are used to make vaccines.
Historical fetal cell lines were derived in the 1960's and 1970's from two elective abortions and have been used to develop vaccines for diseases like hepatitis A, rubella, and rabies.
Abortions from which fetal cells were obtained were elective and were not done for the purpose of vaccine development.
