The latest Novavax data confirm that it’s possible to achieve the same efficacy against COVID-19 with a more familiar technology that more people may be inclined to trust. (The mRNA vaccines delivered efficacy rates of 95 and 94 percent against the original coronavirus strain in Phase 3 trials, as compared with 96 percent for Novavax in its first trial, and now 90 percent against a mixture of variants.

Last paragraph of the article:
But here’s what we know today, based on information that we have right now: Among several wonderful options, the more old-school vaccine from Novavax combines ease of manufacture with high efficacy and lower side effects. For the moment, it’s the best COVID-19 vaccine we have.
Important questions I don't think the article answered:
- does the Novavax vaccine contain spike proteins?
- does the Novavax vaccine contain anything that might cause my body to fight against itself?
- I'm sure there are others.

Rubella is specifically cited as an example of the technology.

Is The Atlantic getting paid by the makers of Novavax?

The response was not really meant for you.
Poor sarcasm attempt to the authors.

Which means you will get a sore arm and could get an overnight fever/flu.

You’re crazy or dumb.
Nothing personal.
You sound like a homeless screaming on the sidewalk.
I know I shouldn’t say anything because it somehow reinforces your persecution complex and confirms your paranoia, but really.
You don’t know the difference between protein and nucleic acid yet you proclaim expertise and knowledge to the point of near omniscience.

I got the J&J vaccine because I was not comfortable with the mRNA products.
If I have to get a booster, I’ll get the Novavax.

People made fun of me about that when I had a Chevy Nova. Decent car.

To your first question...yes, Novavax does contain spike proteins. In fact the only protein it contains is the spike protein. A traditional vaccine made from viruses would also contain the spike protein since the spike is part of the virus. Not sure about your other question.
