It´s something to be gravely concerned about that the Church and people as well doesn´t consider this to be an offense towards the Law of God.

I would for at least made an appointment with a priest to talk about this moral issue.

I think you should read the links that have been provided so that you understand the Church’s position.
 
Nobody have to take a vaccine, it´s about preventing diseases.
I believe the morally good thing to do is to wait for an alternative vaccine without fetal cells & any other links to abortion comes on market.

I know that God doesn´t want people to kill each other - and He most likely doesn´t want us to support it in any kind of way either.

Again, read what has been provided:

The Vatican instruction Dignitas Personae (#35) states that “grave reasons may be morally proportionate to justify” the use of these products, “for example, danger to the health of children could permit parents to use a vaccine which was developed using cell lines of illicit origin, while keeping in mind that everyone has the duty to make known their disagreement and to ask that their healthcare system make other types of vaccines available.”

By definition infallible and advice can’t go in the same sentence. Advice is a take it or leave it type thing. Infallible means it can never change and is always this way forever. This very start of your post tipped me off to not read the rest of it

I didn’t say this. This quote is from JohnsonJJ. Can you please fix your post to make it clear this is not a quote from me.

Her doctors told us she could not have live vaccines, such as the chickenpox vaccine.

I listened to (I think) Catholic Answers where they said that the current vaccines are so far removed from the original use of the fetal cells that they are now morally okay.

If her provider is suggesting she get the vaccine, I’d get it. I was vaccinated as an adult.
 
Of course, you can always skip your vaccines. And then when you visit Great Auntie Em in the nursing home, you can share your viruses with her and her friends.
 
YES.
Vaccines do not contain fetal tissue, except for possible trace residue after processing from elective abortions in the 1960s. You shouldn’t let this stop your daughter from getting a vaccine that could prevent current serious illness. The Vatican agrees with me if you look up their statement.

My advice? Get the vaccine.
 
I was concerned about this when my oldest was a baby. I researched it back then.

The cell line actually originated in the 1960’s, so about 50 years.

I went ahead with the vaccines.
