A little girl was born in 1970. I say born, because she was alive, and outside of her mother's body when a portion of her kidney was removed to be used to create a cell line still used today to test and develop vaccines. Cell cultures are taken from living tissue. The girl was probably between 25 and 30 weeks gestational age. The people responsible for this are very vague about the details. Possibly they simply don't remember, as killing children is pretty normal for them.
Reasonable people find receiving any benefit from this dastardly act to be deeply troubling. It is to them like cannibalism. They just can't do it.
Because the Overton window doesn't permit openly stating this as an objection, many people latch on to irrational "conspiracy theory" explanations which are more socially acceptable when pressed for an explanation of their reluctance to be vaccinated.
I am not suggesting that the current slate of Covid vaccines are safe and effective, or even that vaccines against viral infections are generally a good idea. However, I am suggesting that people often refuse to provide the real reasons for their vaccine hesitancy.
