Novavax’s ‘Secret Ingredient’ In COVID-19 Vaccine Also Works in Preventing Malaria

Novavax’s malaria vaccine contains a proprietary ingredient, called Matrix-M, that the company also injects in its COVID-19 vaccine candidate NVX-CoV2373 and flu vaccine candidate NanoFlu. Matrix-M is an adjuvant used to enhance a vaccine’s immune response. In the case of the COVID-19 vaccine, Novavax uses a lab-made version of the spike protein of the original coronavirus to train the immune system to produce antibodies. When exposed to the harmful virus, the adjuvant signals the immune system to spring into action.

not approval... emergency use authorization. BIG difference.

[nickcarraway]

None of them have won FDA approval, they have been granted emergency use exemptions.

[nickcarraway]

Weird. What else is a treatment for malaria?

[CodeJockey]

Don’t need it now. We have a vaccine surplus. Anyone who has not taken a jab by now does not want it.

[eyeamok]

FDA Approval??

Emergency Use maybe

FAKE NEWS

[monkeyshine]

Also in line is Covaxin, from India, that a US company has the rights to here. I don’t think it will make it, and if it does frankly I think we’re at market saturation anyway here in the US. Maybe a new vaccine, if it were marketed correctly, might get some hesitant people to take it. Or maybe the opposite.

This sounds better than previous vaccines.

Anti Malarial drugs have had success in treating and preventing the Chinese Wuhan Flu worldwide.

[monkeyshine]

Good eye for irony.

[DesertRhino]

That does ring a bell, doesn’t it?

[Navy Patriot]

Ivermectin, an anti Parasitic, works on Malaria and the Chinese Wuhan Flu.

“not approval... emergency use authorization. BIG difference.”

When I was a kid, I was happy when my dad authorized me to be out until midnight. Perhaps I would have been even happier had he approved me staying out until midnight? Perhaps it wouldn’t have mattered…I wasn’t about to start QUIBBLING with him.

So we should wait seven or eight years for a FDA approval? How many would die from COVID in seven or eight years?
Do you like wearing a mask?

[lonestar67]

This one has an exceptionally low negative reaction rate.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

Pfizer and Moderna both have all the data required to seek full FDA approval. Both are expected to file within the next few weeks. Both are expected to receive full FDA approval in the next few months.

Once they’re fully FDA approved, all good, right?

[steve86]

I have been waiting for NovaVax. Will give it serious consideration when available. Not a sure thing because the spectre of pathogenic priming / antibody-dependent enhancement is still out there for all covid vaxxs.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Malaria” — weird indeed. Where have we heard about treatments for that disease? Can’t put my finger on it.

[Kevmo]

How many of these so-called kungflu “vaccines” have been approved by the FDA? I thought it was zero.
