Children of God for Life advocates a boycott of Merck Drug Products.
Let Merck know we don't appreciate their use of aborted fetal
tissue in vaccines by hitting them where it hurts: Their wallets!
Following is a list of Merck's major drug products - and their competitor's.
We recommend you check with your doctor to be sure the
alternative products are appropriate for your personal medical condition.
If so, use them - and let your doctor know why!
And if you want to let Merck know why, write them! Click here for the pharmaceutical companies address!
