From the article:

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.

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.

What were the results of the 10 year longitudinal study?

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

Seems like the “emergency” is pretty much over, and we have several vaccines already covered by EUA’s. In fact, we have far more vaccine capacity than we can possibly use in the USA, and will be exporting the vast majority of our vaccines. But I suspect Novavax has been working closely with the FDA, and as long as the trial data is good, they will get the EUA. Covaxin, an Indian vaccine, just got shot down for crappy data in their trial data.

Also this is far different than traditional deactivated or weakened virus vaccines. They basically modified a moth virus to grow SARS-CoV2 spike proteins. They harvest the spike proteins and encapsulate them in nano particles. I’m sure people will claim it turns you into an insect, or worse.
