U.S. Could Authorize Novavax Covid Vaccine—An MRNA Alternative—In February 2022, CEO Says
Forbes ^ | 01/10/2022 | Zachary Snowdon Smith

Posted on 01/11/2022 4:42:48 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine, already available for use in 170 countries and most well-known for being a non-mRNA vaccine alternative, could be approved for use in the U.S. in February and in up to 10 other countries within 90 days, CEO Stanley Erck told CNBC Monday.

The Maryland-based biotechnology company submitted its final data packages to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on New Year’s Eve, but won’t be able to request emergency use authorization until January 31, after which the company expects a decision within one month, Erck said.

Erck said the company expects its vaccine to be approved for use in multiple countries over the next 90 days, as the vaccine has recently been submitted for use in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the U.K., and with the World Health Organization.

While mRNA vaccines prompt the body’s cells into creating parts of the coronavirus that can trigger the immune system, Novavax’s vaccine introduces a protein from the virus as a nanoparticle that cannot cause illness but stimulates antibody production. Novavax’s vaccine can be stored at room temperature, making it significantly easier to distribute than mRNA vaccines, which must be refrigerated within a particular range. Clinical trials found Novavax’s two-dose vaccine to be 90% effective against the coronavirus, the WHO said. In November, Indonesia became the first country to issue an emergency use authorization for the vaccine, which has since been made available for use in 170 countries,

Ain’t taking it.

I have never heard anything about the consequences of using a temperature-spoiled mRNA vax. Has the CDC, the WHO or any of the manufacturers ever released information on what that would be?

Makes one understand why they want to freeze the records on the development of the “vaccines” for 75 years.

“Is this the one that acts more like a flu shot?”

Yes, it uses the same technology as the Flu shot. It is safer they the others so far.

Yes. Protein antigen, not anything affecting intracellular processing or incorporating into and potentially altering DNA.

Like tetanus toxoid, or inactivated virus vaccines.

This is one I MIGHT take if available and some longer term peer-reviewed studies are published.

But under EUA? The emergency is over.

That’s Pfizer, not Novavax.

“Being sick with Covid also puts spike proteins in your system right? ... Just being injected directly with spike proteins sounds, to me, no more dangerous than being exposed to Covid out in the wild.”

With the mrna and adenovirus jabs, a healthy efficient body is going to be creating *a lot* of spike proteins. With covid, a healthy efficient body will be killing viruses and digesting its parts. Plus if one is sick with covid, they can take therapeutics to aid in the defense.

I’d rather allow my body to fight a foreign invader, than reprogram it to make a foreign invader and then fight that.

Novavax is another “spike only” vaccine.

I think most speculation about the bad effects of mRNA vaccines inducing spike proteins is nonsense.

What’s NOT nonsense is the question of whether a narrow channel immune response (IgG antibodies to spike only) is the correct way to immunize humans, as opposed to generating antibodies against several components of the virus as occurs with natural infection.

The concern about antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is entirely about this issue of narrow-channel antibodies.

So - Novavax produces identical antibody responses to the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson vaccines.

If you are concerned about the mRNA method but buy into spike-only antibodies produced by other means, Novavax could be for you.

Oh look another vaccine for big pharma to make money off of! Which members of Congress got money under the table to push this one?

Now now, it’s not considered “conservative” to challenge the primitive screwhead anti-vaxxers’ misconceptions and public education victimhood associated lack of reasoning and critical thinking skills.

IOW, yes, exactly. Catch a cold, transient viremia sends particles throughout your cardiovascular and lymph vascular spaces locally where the infection began.

No immunization “is injected directly into the bloodstream” and not everyone’s immune system mounts an adequate and/or protective response to viral infections. Even bacterial. It’s common for people to lack secretory IgA antibody against Group A streptococcus. “I get strep a lot” warrants testing for primary immunodeficiency not just tonsillectomy - which should be safe, rare, and legal.

Ahem.

I used to order a sh!t tonne (200# more than a ton) of blood antibody titers in pre-deployment screenings and when family members’ immunization records were lost in transit, or otherwise lost by the dependapotomus who kept them in her trunk instead of in medical records) and have been amazed at the zero level results to things we’d been exposed to repeatedly like tetanus, measles, hepatitis.

Of course, you could always just get 16 shots instead, but that’s risky.

An inactivated whole Coronavirus vaccine would be ideal, but the primitives among us would still whine about formalin, aluminum and mercury while drinking soda from a can eating a tuna sandwich and sitting on a synthetic fabric/foam seat on carpet and inhaling offgassed VOC’s from carpet floors and drywall.

Pays your money, takes your chances, this way to the egress.

FWIW

iirc all coronavirus vaccine efforts (I mean real vaccines) historically have often had problematic long-term issue profiles.

I know public health (corporations, bureaucrats, and politicians) will just keep doubling down on this, but you cannot vaccinate against a coronavirus for any longer than it takes it to mutate around it, and that doesn’t even touch on experimental technology with a few months of perfunctory studies designed to avoid any chance of showing problems.

More EUA?

BTW, isn’t it still true that only the Pfizer is officially “fully approved” by the FDA?

Yes, Pfizer’s COMINARTY. That’s the only one approved by the FDA.

This primitive doesn't understand. Your tone indicates that formalin, aluminum, and mercury exposure in the environment is bad, yet you are using it to argue for people injecting in their bodies. Are you arguing that formalin, aluminum, and mercury are good for you? Are you arguing that people should more consistently oppose harmful exposure, thus really an anti-vax argument? You contain too many levels for me.

I'm sure someone will come along with a name for this fallacy, but liberals use it a lot when they try to ridicule other people's beliefs, setting up false equivalents.

I tend to look at them monolithically.

They have all been approved using the same flawed, unsafe methods, for the same filthy reasons. Lowest common denominator kind of thing.

Thank you, to both of you for answering and providing info.
