I want to it’s like living in a non-corrupt nation such as South Korea.
Pfizer owns the US senate and congress so we will never see novavax cleared and available in pharmacies.
Novavax finally got their application submitted for Emergency Use Authorization in the USA, just at the very end of 2021 (like the last day of the year). It seems to be on track for approval, maybe next month.
It is not just the USA however, Novavax kept slipping the date they planned to submit for regulatory approval, all around the world. It got the nickname “Nevervax” because of those schedule slips.
The dam is breaking big time for Novavax approvals though. They just got approved in Korea in recent days, and have been approved in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as by the WHO (which gets them into over a hundred countries). The EU has signed contracts for delivery, and Indonesia has begun receiving (10 million doses) and administering them.
They expect to ramp up production to around 200 million doses per month in the first quarter.
