But do we know if the spike protein from Novavax stays in the arm or does it travel throughout the body like they say Pfizer and Moderna?
I got the J&J thinking it was safer...maybe it is safer but apparently not safe.
The problem with Pfizer and Moderna is that they thought the mRNA in the vaccine would stay in the arm and only produce the spike protein in a small spot in the body -— where the immune system could muster a localized response and build antibodies. They did not anticipate it becoming “viral” and spreading throughout the body with a systemic shower of antigen -— there lies the problem.
As an aside, some of the problems may be partly due to the vaccine and partly due to the technique of administration. I was shocked when they started airing video of people getting vaccinated because I saw very, very few aspirating before injecting. If you don’t aspirate, you risk sending the vaccine into the bloodstream and throughout the body quickly.
Next time you see a video of vaccination, watch closely. You see them stick the needle in and then push the plunger in -— pushing the vaccine into where???
Proper technique is to stick the needle in, pull back on the plunger and observe for blood, and then inject only after making sure there is no blood aspirated.
A good many things, vaccines included, can be toxic or fatal if given intravenously.
