Could Novavax win over some religious vaccine skeptics?

Could a much-delayed COVID-19 shot finally win over religious vaccine skeptics?

That’s the question swirling around a vaccine made by Novavax, a Maryland biotech firm that submitted its request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month for emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 shot, also known as NVX-CoV2373.

Although more than a year behind competitors such as Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, which were both cleared for emergency use in late 2020, Novavax’s two-dose vaccine has already been approved for use in other countries such as the U.K., and the company hopes to aid global inoculation efforts.

But Novavax may have another unusual selling point: the potential to woo vaccine skeptics who reject other widely available vaccines because of distant links to abortion they say violate their morals and their faith.

“No human fetal-derived cell lines or tissue, including HEK293 cells, are used in the development, manufacture or production of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373,” a Novavax spokesperson told Religion News Service via email.

Novavax’s distance from the cell lines might not be enough for some, however. Asked about the Novavax shot, Sarah Quale, president of the anti-abortion Personhood Alliance Education, pointed to a scientific study of Novavax’s vaccine that referred to the use of HEK-293 cells.

Pressed about the study, a Novavax spokesperson said the company “did not use HEK-293 cells in the testing of NVX-CoV2373.”

“The reference in the Science paper to HEK293 cells was based on well-established scientific knowledge, did not include our vaccine protein, and is completely independent of Novavax COVID-19 vaccine development,” the spokesperson said in a followup email.

If it is mRNA technology then NO.

If it is an actual vaccine using dead or a weakened strain of the virus or related pathogen, then maybe.

An injection of purified, toxic spike proteins is supposed to appeal to ‘religious skeptics’?

Not if their objection is really religious based.

According to the CDC’s own numbers, the Fauci/China biological warfare virus has a 99.74% survival rate.

https://www.nbc26.com/news/coronavirus/cdc-estimates-covid-19-fatality-rate-including-asymptomatic-cases

75% of the people who died from it had four or more comorbidities.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-director-admits-over-75-of-covid-deaths-in-people-with-at-least-4-comorbidities

There is no need for the Novavax “vaccine” or any of the other Fauci/China biological warfare virus “vaccines.”

Something isn't right here...

Three other leading vaccine candidates developed by AstraZeneca with Oxford University, Johnson & Johnson, and Novavax, all have used aborted fetal cell lines both in production and in testing. All three candidates are still in Phase III trials.

There is no such vaccine since the Virus has not been totally Isolated in a Lab setting. I will not take Novomax either. You have to keep in mind this virus constantly mutates which is why there will be no successful vaccine made.

My understanding is that it is, mostly, protein spikes harvested from moths, who were probably given the mRNA to grow the spikes. That and some tree bark to goose your system.

Always they are stuck on the spike, and a very outdated one, at that. They seem no more able to give up this technology than to work without fetal cells. Medicine to Mengele in, what, two generations.

Yes, that’s false (but true forAstraZeneca and J&J).

The Novavax antigens are produced in moth cells and this article states very directly that fetal cells weren’t used at all, including in testing.

It’s too late. Anyone who hasn’t had the vaccine will not trust any thing coming from the government now.

as others have noted, is it mrna tech? does it have graphene products?

even if using traditional vaccine approach, there is a reason we have never had coronavirus vaccines. the virus will mutate around whatever antigens it trains the body to make, and you can end up with ADE or VED down the line.

if you are looking at a dystopian future where the state will require this no matter what, traditional vaccine is a less bad approach just from a safety viewpoint.

but I don’t think the FDA will approve novavax. reason is probably crony capitalism ultimately.

It’s not about the brand, it’s about the freedom.

I’m fairly sure that the HEK293 cell line was used in testing Novavax.

"No human fetal-derived cell lines or tissue, including HEK293 cells, are used in the development, manufacture or production of the Novavax...

Then why was it tested for confirmation "efficiacy" on aborted fetal tissue?

WHY?

Its all just a war of the word salad.
