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.
The antigen is identical to the April 2020 variant of SARS-CoV-2. If antibody-dependent enhancement were a risk, it would be seen with COVID-19 infections. It isn’t. The antigen present in the COVID-19 vaccines are one small part of the overall virus, which actually reduces the risk of ADE. ADE results from the creation of suboptimal antibodies. It’s a risk with specific types of infections where the protein folding happens in a very specific way. No evidence of it whatsoever with SARS-CoV-2.
The first vaccine doses were given to Phase 1 clinical trial participants on March 16, 2020. None have shown any evidence of any ADE or any of the other wild and crazy effects predicted by some with an agenda against vaccines. The fearmongering is now - and always has been - just that: fearmongering. 142 million Americans have had a COVID-19 vaccine and precisely zero have shown any evidence of any antibody dependent enhancement. Add them to the 90 million who’ve had COVID-19 who also have shown zero evidence of any ADE.
