Reason Says: Novavax Vaccine 100% Effective Against Both Moderate and Severe COVID-19
Reason ^ | | 6.14.2021 3:20 PM | RONALD BAILEY

The U.S. is likely soon to have a fourth vaccine approved for the fight against COVID-19. Novavax just released the results of its Phase 3 clinical trial: Its two-dose vaccine demonstrates 90 percent overall efficacy and 100 percent protection against both moderate and severe COVID-19 disease. The doses are injected three weeks apart.

The company reports that 77 cases of COVID-19 were observed in its clinical trial involving nearly 30,000 participants. Of those cases, 63 occurred in the placebo group and 14 in the vaccine group. "All cases observed in the vaccine group were mild as defined by the trial protocol," notes the company's press release. "Ten moderate cases and four severe cases were observed, all in the placebo group, yielding a vaccine efficacy of 100% against moderate or severe disease." The vaccine's side effects were generally mild.

The Novavax vaccine uses a technology similar to hepatitis and pertussis vaccines, in which copies of viral proteins provoke the immune system to create antibodies that protect people when they are exposed to the actual viruses. In this case, Novavax employs the coronavirus spike protein that the virus uses to infect human cells.

More good news: The vaccine is highly effective against the more transmissible COVID-19 Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant first identified in the U.K., and it is somewhat effective against the B.1.351 (Beta) variant first identified in South Africa.

Good, when someone has a severe case of covid they can give them the jab.

So, how many vaxxes will be required by the end of the year?

It looks like we are approaching herd immunity quickly so this could all be irrelevant very soon...

So it is on par with Ivermectin, which is dirt cheap and the FDA says it is safer than Tylenol!!

It’s too late by then. The point of a vaccine is to show your body the antigen so it has a head start in preparing its defenses against that pathogen. If you’re already infected, then you have to hope your body can defend itself. Otherwise, your only shot is monoclonal antibody therapy, like what President Trump got in the hospital. But that’s not a silver bullet.

The vaccines have to be given in advance of you being exposed. After does you no good.

From the article:FINALLY!! A vaccine that is a true vaccine. One that doesn't harm your existing DNA.

I might be convinced to take this vaccine. Emphasis on the word might. We'll see.

Does it flood the entire body with spike protein? Does it concentrate in bone marrow and in ovaries?

Against the original China virus, yes. But the variants? Questionable.

However, from the article:

To hear some tell it, variants could be with us for a long time. Good that the Novavax vaccine is effective here.

What were the results of the 10 year longitudinal study?

I actually said it in jest, because just another fake news push to get people to take the death jab. 8>)

Perfectly stated.

I’ve been waiting on this one too, and for that reason.

More offers to drink from the poisoned well? After lying to us, and continuing to lie to us, about every other aspect of the Plandemic, do people think they really want to help us?

After falsifying the need for any ‘vaccine’, and exaggerating what is actually flu like risks, should we beleive anything they say about anything they ‘offer” (to make mandatory)?

After forcing 10’s of thousands to die needlessly by withholding safe, effective FDA approved medications in use for decades, are they now to be trusted? They are now luring children and pregnant women into these ‘vaccines’ even though the reports of harm mount.

They are weaponized. Norovax is not going to be their first “good deed”. Bill Gates, China, George Soros still fund and direct these efforts.

What we need, is development on treatment protocols for the cases of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) which are likely to threaten many who were ‘vaccinated’.

We also need a clear focus on treating damage from spike proteins - the ‘vaccine’ triggers the immediate production of billions which spread out in the body within 48 hours and accumulate in the organs, which are then vulnerable to attack by the body’s immune system.

They need to stop working on more bioweapons and start focusing on treatments that are going to be needed world-wide.
