So if I’m reading this right… the spike protein used to train the immune system is created in the lab?
That’s good - though there’s still the issue that it’s the spike proteins themselves (made inside the body or not) that are the issue causing the heart attacks.
RE: So if I’m reading this right… the spike protein used to train the immune system is created in the lab?
Essentially, COVID-19 vaccines train the body to recognize the coronavirus, especially the spike protein that coats it, and get ready to fight the virus off.
The Novavax vaccine is made with lab-grown copies of that protein. That’s different from some of the other vaccines now widely used, which include genetic instructions for the body to make its own spike protein.
Really, what are the alternatives?
When you are infected, the virus replicates in your body billions of times.
What Novavax designed is to have a minuscule amount of the Spike protein that doesn’t self-replicate.
