Novavax COVID-19 vaccine funded by President Trump & “Operation Warp Speed” ($1.6 billion):

You mean Dr. Trump? No?

You mean President Trump provided supply chain management.

Both Novavax and J&J certainly do have an odd idea of 'traditional vaccines':/

Novavax From WIki

"The vaccine is produced by creating an engineered baculovirus containing a gene for a modified SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The spike protein was modified by incorporating two proline amino acids in order to stabilize the pre-fusion form of the protein; this same 2P modification is being used in several other COVID-19 vaccines.^[13] The baculovirus then infects a culture of Sf9 moth cells, which create the spike protein and display it on their cell membranes. The spike proteins are then harvested and assembled onto a synthetic lipid nanoparticle about 50 nanometers across, each displaying up to 14 spike proteins.^[7]^[8]^[12]"

I see they want to produce 100 million doses and make them available by September. I guess they are eager to start 'subscription' type boosters, as most will have already been 'vaccinated' initially by then.

Funding from Bill Gates, Dept of Defense and NIH (Fauci). What could possibly go wrong? :/

From Wiki
"A spokesperson for Novavax stated that the $1.6 billion was coming from a "collaboration" between the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Defense,

[27]^[28] where Gen. Gustave F. Perna has been selected as COO for Warp Speed. "

More from Wiki. Fauci's org and they started testing this on children in May in Mexico and US. :(

"In December 2020, Novavax started the PREVENT-19 (NCT04611802) phase 3 trial in the US and Mexico, funded by NIAID and BARDA.^[30]^[31] On 3 May 2021, Novavax initiated a pediatric expansion for the phase 3 clinical trial, with 3,000 adolescents 12–17 years old.^[32]"

Like Moderna, Novavax's developer has never brought a product to market before. I guess they needed the money, eh?

Novavax COVID vaccine is about 90% effective: Study - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com) LINDA A. JOHNSON June 14, 2021

<>"Novavax has been working on developing vaccines for more than three decades, but hasn’t brought one to market. The company’s COVID-19 vaccine work is partly funded by the U.S. government."

Novavax Covid-19 vaccine: Trial results from US and Mexico show 90.4% efficacy - CNN By Jacqueline Howard June 14, 2021

"Novavax's coronavirus vaccine, called NVX-CoV2373, differs from the three vaccines already in use in the United States. The vaccine relies on what is called recombinant nanoparticle technology and Novavax's adjuvant, called Matrix-M, to stimulate an immune response."

"Novavax's vaccine is made of tiny particles studded with the coronavirus spike protein plus honeycomblike molecules, derived from plants, that stimulate the immune system."
