It is the one for my family as well, however I still question the need to get vaxed at all if folks have already had covid omni or otherwise.

Oh well.

Doesn’t matter to me.

Me and the First lady already had the Rona.

The Novavax vaccine uses a telltale piece of the coronavirus: the notorious spike protein. All alone, the spike protein is harmless and can't cause COVID-19. When your immune system encounters the lonely spike protein, it produces antibodies against it. This gives you protection against future COVID-19 infection.

Same here. My wife and I tested positive Monday, May 2 and we immediately started the 5 day ivermectin protocol. Had a fever and slight headache on Tuesday and all clear on Wednesday. Still tested positive on May 9th and then negative on May 16th.

I'll just throw this in for giggles...

NovaVax should have been available back in 2020 but was stopped in the US for political reasons.

The shot would have been no more dangerous than the Moderna shot, and probably less dangerous than the Pfizer shot.

That’s nice-I generously give my dose of this vaxx to someone else, and stick with my vitamins, supplements and organic/natural lifestyle. I had a mild case of the Wuhan well over a year ago-and I’ve been fine since-never wear a mask unless a customer insists, either. My bad reactions to vaccines-anaphylactic shock-and equally scary reactions to most drugs is enough for to know that any of this would be a very bad idea for me-so my body will remain vaxx-free...

Novavax took longer, because the protein has to be separated from the liquids in the bioreactors that manufacture it. The vaccine protein is just a genetically engineered COVID-19 spike protein. And just how did Novavax manufacture its vaccine? They created an mRNA segment that coded for the spike protein and got moth cells to take it up and start producing spike protein. It’s the same mechanism used by the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, except that there is no need for extracting spike protein that is already in the body. I seriously doubt you would want moth proteins that could cause allergic reactions to be in the Novavax vaccine. It’s the purification processes that traditionally have slowed down the development of protein vaccines. If you’re over 45 or so or in a high comorbidity group, you were much better off getting an mRNA vaccine in 2021 than waiting for the Novavax vaccine in mid-2022. It will be interesting to see the safety profile of this vaccine in younger age groups. The Hepatitis B vaccine that has been in use since the mid-1980’s is a protein vaccine and is used in newborns to prevent the transmission of Hepatitis B from mother to child due to exposure to the mother’s blood during childbirth. It is standard procedure in the US to vaccinate newborns just after birth regardless of the Hepatitis B status of the mother.

The recombinant technology is used to speed up the creation of proteins that induce an immune response.

Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, there is no injection of recombinant material into humans.

I'm OK with the moth proteins. I may be strangely attracted to light bulbs, but at least I'll get to fly.

I'm more worried about the tree proteins. I really don't see myself as someone standing around trying to generate chlorophyll.

WON’T TAKE IT, even if they fire me. They threatened us before, and still MILLIONS OF US REFUSED. Doesn’t matter what new witches’ brew they try to force on us, it won’t work.

If you’re under 35 years old, WHY THE HELL WOULD NEED A ‘vaccine’ (gene therapy) for COVID-19? You people are so gullible.

This is the one vaccination I would consider, but still, not without more research being done and seeing how it affects those who have already taken it.

I had the Wuhan back in Feb, but I also developed pneumonia and had to be hospitalized for 6 days. It was not fun, but the hospital staff took good care of me.

No. It’s a protein subunit vaccine. Only China has tried making a deactivated whole virus.
