THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- The European Union’s drugs regulator gave the green light Monday to a fifth COVID-19 vaccine for use in the 27-nation bloc, granting conditional marketing authorization to the two-dose vaccine made by U.S. biotech company Novavax.
The European Medicines Agency decision to recommend granting conditional marketing authorization for the vaccine for people aged 18 and over, which must be confirmed by the EU’s executive commission, comes as many European nations are battling surges in infections and amid concerns about the spread of the new omicron variant.
Novavax says it currently is testing how its shots will hold up against the omicron variant, and like other manufacturers has begun formulating an updated version to better match that variant in case in case it’s eventually needed.
The Novavax shot joins those from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca in the EU’s vaccine armory. The EU has ordered up to 100 million doses of the Novavax vaccine with an option for 100 million more.
Last week, the World Health Organization gave emergency approval to the Novavax vaccine, paving the way for its inclusion in the U.N.-backed program to get such vaccines to poorer countries

RE: By the way jerk, my wife is under doctor’s orders to NOT take any of the vaccines.
Watch who you’re calling a jerk man. If you or your wife don’t want to take the vax, feel free not to.

I’m very skeptical of refusals on religious grounds. The vast majority I suspect are using religion as an excuse.

What major religions have a formal opposition to this vaccine?

That’s like asking why would a car maker make a new model?
wait, what ? Platitudes are no good anymore ?

For the 146th time, that is simply incorrect. You have to be drunk on the anti-vaxxer kool-aid to think otherwise.
You know, like lots of the stuff that gets posted here.

You mean the “stuff” like. It doesn’t confer immunity like a vaccine should? It only lasts 6 months and the need for a constant booster? The fact that it has killed a minimum of 20,000 people and hundreds of thousands of dangerous side effects that could last for a lifetime just here in the States? That the misinformation you’re talking of?
The more this (and the climate change BS) goes on, the more I think we are in an Oblivion type scenario.
That's your opinion but not misinformation.
It only lasts 6 months and the need for a constant booster?
Certainly true that boosters improve the immune response, and not misinformation.
The fact that it has killed a minimum of 20,000 people...
Absolute, gold-plated misinformation.
We have no evidence that's true and the evidence we do have, which comes from the CDC reviewing every reported death following vaccination, says 9 people have died from the vaccines (all J&J).
If you're talking about VAERS data you've fallen for the misinformation. A death reported to VAERS is not necessarily associated with the vaccines.
RE: Actually, the survival rate for polio was comparable, ie, ~99%.
OK, does anyone who get the polio vaccine still get polio?
Does anyone who get the polio vaccine suffer from myocarditis or thrombosis?
Do you need to get a polio shot every few months?
As I wrote above, that was accidentally sent to you, sorry.
I would consider this one if I were forced to take a vax (like, to travel, for instance). I’m waiting to see what reactions are to this. I refuse to take one that might cause clotting.
THat’s your right to not take it. I respect that right.
It makes no sense to wait, and then accept an emergency approval. That means all liability is on you.
I disagree. It is not all madness. The madness comes from trolls like Dugway who label anyone questioning “established science” like the fake vax.
Pick and choose opinion. Not facts, opinions. Trolls just fling out opinions to get a reaction and create dissent. For the fun of it, not to form a conversation. It’s like Screaming NAZI whenever losing an argument — it stops all discussion.
Jabs on the market are all gene therapy.
They don’t even pretend to stop infection or transmission.
I’m ambivalent about the potential side-effects. Time will tell what the real potential dangers are but in the meantime, all I can say is nobody I know who’s been vaxxed has had a problem. I have ethical concerns about the use of abortion-derived cells in the development, and this Novavax doesn’t solve that, uses the same stuff. Should that ethical concern make me a pariah on society, not permitted to even support myself?
Well is it full of Mrna stuff.
...and Small Pox?
My point remains.
RE: IT makes no sense to wait, and then accept an emergency approval.
Why? I’ve waited almost two years and never had Covid with only Ivermectin as prophylaxis.
It’s going to genetically edit us into insects. I read it on Exposed and saw it on Rumble.
