So, it sounds like they used an insect cell line, but had a contractor compare their insect cell reaction to an aborted kidney cell reaction.
That might have been stated in the technical paper cited by lozier, but it was so technical I didn’t follow it. Or lozier has added a new link since last I checked. They had it rated both clear green and not clear red when I read it. (Just checked... they still do)
Lozier has gotten lots wrong, including the whole Regeneron debacle. I no longer trust them as credible.
COG (Children of God for Life) says Novavax used HEK-293 in its R&D. I’d trust them.
