From the article: “It is a protein vaccine, made with an older technology that’s been used for years to produce other kinds of vaccines. The Maryland-based Novavax uses genetic engineering to grow harmless copies of the coronavirus spike protein in insect cells. Scientists extract and purify the protein and then mix in an immune-boosting chemical.”
Wonder what the excuse for not taking this vaccine will be?
Genetic engineering? Immune-boosting chemical? No doubt this forum will be flooded with posts from the anti-vaxxer websites about how dangerous it is.
RE: Wonder what the excuse for not taking this vaccine will be?
It is a personal choice whether one wants to take the vaccine or not. I personally am waiting for this vaccine to be granted EUA in the US.
But I sure as hell don’t want government forcing any vaccine on anyone even if I myself will be vaccinated with Novavax.
Anybody who refuses to submit to any feral government decree should be executed, right Comrade?
Read up on the sad story of Thalidomide and how a medicine was rushed to market without proper testing
Grown in insect cells. Not Kosher?
Allah the sudden JINOs get religion!
One of the objection will not be that it is an unproven gene therapy approach.
Thank goodness for that…m I rite?
For the 145th time....there is NO vaccine. Are you on drugs?
This is one of the vaccines I have waited for.
I don’t trust the mRNA technology. I know 5 people in my immediate orbit that experienced adverse reactions to them.
Dugway your snark in you post is contradiction by your post...if all the current vaccine withe the new teak were as safe and effective
why go to the trouble and costs of creating now one from the old tech?
Novavax unfortunately, used HEK293 cells for testing. Besides, neither XiJinBiden nor True-dolt in PRC (Politically Repressive Canada aka Kanadahar) allow the use of this shot in either country.
Labeling people on this forum as “anti-vaxxeers” is not only dishonest, they’re not in general, it’s intellectually lazy.
If anything, this new option highlights the concerns people have for these mRNA vaccines where people are dying or having many other adverse reactions. Nobody is being honest about the data - either the VAERS data or from the trials (being withheld for decades).
It’s quite rational to be skeptical - and you’re going to take that tone with Freeper’s here? I’ve been jabbed but regret it. This is not Small Pox or Polio - where you may have 30% mortality. The starting point for most is 99.9+% survivability - the jab just adds a couple of 9’s. That’s it - but then subtract those that die from the shot.
This is all madness.
If only you could execute the refusers the world would be a better place.
Bugs? Who wants to get injected with bug cells? Just imagine what could happen to you!
Who the hell cares? It's none of your f****g business.
“No doubt this forum will be flooded with posts from the anti-vaxxer websites about how dangerous it is.”
Anti-vaxer? Did Fauci give you your favorite flavor when you drank the Kool Aid?
People who are covid vaccine hesitant are not anti-vaxers. They just don’t trust the specific covid vaccines, due to their track record of destruction.
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.
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.
It’s going to genetically edit us into insects. I read it on Exposed and saw it on Rumble.
Your position is interesting. I read this and immediately thought “Dang, another vax I gotta research and think about”.
Because these days, we’re pretty much on our own to assess the safety and efficacy of treatments. You literally cannot trust anyone but yourself. And that’s a real PITA for me personally since I have little interest in medicine, but a great interest in living healthy for as long as possible.
But you though... one position, always, no matter what. Unreasonably sure of your position.
I have argued positions with statists before and many times the basis for them taking a position is purely based on faith. I say “yes, but what if you are wrong about that?”. Response is “I’m not wrong”. That one was about sex ed in schools. He has two kids, and well... he was wrong.
