yeah, from what I have read the NovaVax is the better “in between” choice between the mRna and the J&J.

I would take it....

unfortunately, NovaVax is more keen to have a Europe deal than an American deal.

The USA may not get it until 2022 or late 2021.

I think they’ve filed for emergency authorization in the US. I guess they’re expecting it in the UK in September.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would group J&J with the mRNA vaccines since these all “trick” your body into producing the virus proteins. It’s just that J&J uses an adenovirus rather than a lipid shell to deliver the instructions into the cell.

Novavax is more like a traditional vaccine in that you’re injecting virus proteins into your body rather than having your body produce them. It’s just that the proteins aren’t pieces of actual viruses but are cultivated from moth cells.

So I would put Novavax in between J&J/Moderna/Pfizer and traditional vaccines but probably closer to traditional.
