I’m only on my 2nd cup of coffee...don’t feel like reading all that.

What makes Novavax different? Was it produced similar to a traditional viral vaccine? Does it contain or was it developed / produced utilizing aborted fetal cells and or tissue?

The Noravax is not a traditional vaccine. It is not a killed or attenuated virus. It is a purified SARS-COV-2 spike protein manufactured by moth cells. Protein vaccines have been around for over 30 years beginning with the Hepatitis B vaccine. The difference is in the method of manufacture of the protein. The moth cells are exposed to mRNA that codes for the spike protein. The main problem with the concept is that once the the protein is manufactured, it has to be purified. Changing the protein to make it more effective against newer variants requires adjustments to the purification processes.

I too avoided the mRNA vacs, and waited until J&J was re-released. I probably would have preferred Novavax had it been available. At any rate, I have been taking a carefully selected batch of supplements for around 50 years. I am now 83 and in good vigor and health. Last year I increased the amount of zinc and Vitamin D3 I was taking. I already take from 3 to 7 grams a day of Vitamin C for my allergies. The day before I went for J&J I added 500 mg of Quercetin, and 50 mg. of zinc, which I continued for a whole week. When I got my J&J, I had needle stick pain for 10 minutes, then no pains at all ever after. Last fall when I took Shingles vaccine, I had sore or tender shoulder for 2 or 3 days.

Last year I submitted testimony to a Council hearing on vaccines. I suggested that the vaccine people should watch out for people with the gene or genes for Factor 5 Leiden and Sickle Cell trait or Disease, which are genetic blood disorders. I subsequently spoke to a friend with one gene for Factor 5 Leiden who works in the medical field. He probably took Moderna, or possibly Pfizer. The first shot caused nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The second shot caused the same symptoms, but much more severe. Unfortunately he is not the kind of person that you can suggest supplements might keep you from catching Covid, or reducing symptoms from a Covid shot. At any rate I certainly hope Novavax is approved soon so people concerned about new mRNA technology or the fetal tissue issue have another choice. I get the impression that Novavax uses moth tissue, not fetal tissue as the biological agent.
