Maryland-based Novavax’s effort to vaccinate the world for Covid-19, from zero to not quite warp speed: ‘This takes time and expertise’

On a sweltering June morning, Novavax CEO and COVID vaccine maker Stanley Erck stood on a stage unmasked and did something that would have been unthinkable six months ago: He shook hands with Maryland’s governor.

Erck was with Gov. Larry Hogan to announce Novavax’s global vaccine headquarters ― a Gaithersburg campus expected to house laboratories and more than 800 employees. Hogan called Novavax’s future “bright” and crowed that more than 71% of the state’s adults had received at least one shot.

None of those was a Novavax vaccine, which remains unavailable for the American public due to delayed clinical trial results and other difficulties. Hogan, for his part, received his first vaccine dose ― made by fellow biotech upstart Moderna ― in January.

“As you can imagine, we’re eager to receive our own,” said John Trizzino, Novavax’s chief commercial officer and interim chief financial officer.

Its two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, which showed overall 90.4% efficacy in key U.S. and Mexico trials, has yet to be authorized.

“In the meantime,” Trizzino said, “we’ve had to use one of the existing licensed vaccines and we look forward to the booster” made by Novavax.

Looking forward has kept Novavax afloat for decades ― along with its deep ties to grant-makers and federal agencies. With its focus on developing vaccines, including for the SARS and MERS pandemics, Erck argues Novavax is “built for this moment.” Still, the 34-year-old startup has never brought one to market.

Novavax’s quest to scale up operations underscores how difficult it can be to launch a vaccine ― even with the formula and technology in hand. It has had the financial backing of the U.S. government and the full faith of international agencies. So what happened? Everything took longer than expected: piecing together a manufacturing network from scratch, hiring necessary researchers

Novavax’s proprietary secret ingredient is Matrix-M, an immune booster. Executives say the additive ― derived from Chilean soapbark trees ― works so well that less of an antibody-producing antigen would be needed with it in a vaccine. One financial filing said Matrix-M “has the potential to be of immense value.”

Novavax deployed a core team of employees, dubbed “SuperNOVAs,” to crisscross the globe. They assembled a manufacturing network and shared vaccine technology in India, South Korea, Spain, Japan and the Czech Republic as well as in the United States ― about 20 contract manufacturing and test sites in all.

“This takes time and expertise,” Trizzino said. “You just simply can’t hand over the recipe and then walk away from it and expect you’re going to have a high-quality product.”

Novavax is contracted to form the backbone of the COVAX initiative, having promised 1.1 billion doses starting this year for developing countries.

As the dangers of each type of Covid 'vaccine' surface, they start waving a flag yelling "Over Here! New VAX! This one's better! Promise."

I consider Novavax appalling - it's an injection of pure spike proteins.

This is from a prior post re Novavax:

 

Novavax was a failed company, in the stock market, going out of business, and located in Maryland.

Novavax is an injection of pure spike proteins, the ones that are causing devastating harm in all the other vaccines. They are not 'better.'

My notes on Dr. John Campbell's video "TUESDAY UPDATE" in which he reviews Novavax and a small Ivermectin study in Israel.

Dr. Campbell notes that he's reading from a press release and the vaccine research has not been peer reviewed yet.

ransomnote: I was wondering why there were so many news articles for Novavax all dated 6/14. Almost like press releases = free advertising from MSM. I saw elsewhere that Novavax development was also supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, among others.

How Novavax works:

DNA designed to make the spike proteins is put into another virus and that virus is put into moth cells. The DNA instructs the moth cells to mass produce the spike proteins, then the spike proteins are harvested (purified) from the moth cells. 

The spike cells stick together and have the antigenic properties of the Sars 2 Covid virus, without the actual presence of the Covid virus.

Compared with the mRNA vaccines and DNA 'vaccines', which tell your own body cells to produce the spike protein, the Novavax is designed to directly inject the spike proteins into your body. 

Novavax was tested against a Covid variant very similar to, but not the same as, the original Covid virus.

Currently being tested on 2248 children 12 - 18 years of age.

Novavax received 1.6 Billion in NIAID (Fauci) federal funds to pay for 100 million future doses.

There's no need to experiment on yourself with these 'vaccines' when so many safe, effective medication protocols are available.

Thank you for posting. The replies have shown me that my interest in this was misplaced.

Is it a good idea to mix shots from different Pharmas?

They are likely to miss the boat, in re Covid vaccines.
Production is way up, India is shipping their brand of Astra Zeneca again, and all the vaccine holdouts like Japan and SE Asia are finally receiving their belated but massive orders.

We may be hearing of a vaccine glut in two months or so.

These would show up in overall mortality, if its as high as stated, so you can do a cross check on it. Simply put, get the CDC mortality data in three months or so (to give the count time to settle down) and look at whether its pushing above trend for March-June 2021.

Like I pointed out, those are initial reports however Dr. Peter McCullough is also reporting information from a whistleblower citing over 50,000 deaths.

It will shake out in the next few days.

“Novavax’s proprietary secret ingredient is Matrix-M, an immune booster.”

otherwise known as an adjuvant, a chemical used to make marginally effective vaccines function by specifically hyperstimulates the immune system artificially ...

It has already been proven that the adjuvant approach has induced a pandemic of fatal hyperthyroidism in house cats that are are vaxed every year with cheap vaccines ...

no thanks, i refuse to take ANY vaccine with an adjuvant: i already have four too any autoimmune diseases to risk such insane tampering with what remains of my immune system ...

It has been pointed out that Novavax trials were performed late in 2020 and into 2021, and have tested out as successful in dealing with the newer more contagious variants. This unlike the other vaccines tested in the spring and early summer.
