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.

They didn’t necessarily do the testing but it’s not surprising someone did. This is people just looking for excuses not to vaccinate like it’s a badge of honor. Vaccinate, don’t vaccinate just don’t make things up about what’s in them or who did what in testing, etc. Own the decision made and move on
Why?
Because the FDA requires efficacy testing using HEK 293 cells.
Or is your question “Why does the FDA require this testing procedure?”
They have not deigned to offer an explanation, so no one really knows for sure, though one could speculate.
What you said.
Covid is over.
Used aborted fetal cells. So no
“Used aborted fetal cells. So no”
Not aborted fetal cells. Sacrificed fetal cells. They have to extract those cells while the baby is still alive.
If it requires periodic boosters or annual refreshes, then forget about it.

My DIL left yesterday to bury her beloved aunt....Within half an hour of getting the covid shot she was in convulsions. Rushed to the hospital, put in ICU with ventilators for a week until Dr.s said they'd done all they could and sent her home...she died within a couple weeks. I will learn more when DIL returns as she's an exceptional nurse and knows well the questions she wants answered.
The fact they are ALL experimental and unknown long term results remain outstanding is sufficient to deter reasonable people from not getting these shots....as much as those who decide they will accept the unknown risks and get the shot and let the chips fall where they may.
What is known is these shots do not ‘prevent’ any of the covid virus. Also that there are treatments now for covid.
Unfortunately once you have the shots you’re in a waiting game for the long haul. here’s no turning back.
The virus itself is made of mRNA. If you catch Covid you get the same spike protein mRNA that the vaccines are made of plus a whole lot more.
No kidding. All vaccines will be spurned by far more people also.
They should stop pushing vaccines for colds. Especially since the current ones are injuring and killing people at high rates.
“Could Novavax win over some religious vaccine skeptics?”
only if they want to be injected with pure spike protein plus their double-secret proprietary adjuvant, Matrix-M, which is necessary to hyperstimulate the immune system because their vax is too weak to work without provoking the immune system in general to grossly over-react to foreign invaders with said adjuvant ....
then the question about any exotic ingredients as well as ade/vaccine enhanced disease risks pertain, but still arguably less overall than any mrna jab
still doubt we see it here.
I’m done with shots
The only people still pushing these worthless shots are the retards and our resident paid social media “influencer” (same thing).
no
