Summary
The Novavax Covid vaccine offers an effective alternative to mRNA vaccines, with fewer side effects.
Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna shots, which commonly cause fatigue, fever, and headaches, Novavax is based on older vaccine technology and results in milder, shorter-lasting reactions.
mRNA vaccines dominated early due to rapid development, but Novavax offers comparable Covid prevention effectiveness, with studies suggesting longer-lasting antibody responses.
Despite these advantages, Novavax remains underutilized, largely due to timing and misconceptions about its efficacy. Experts encourage considering it as an equal option.
And all those dumbfucks who refuse to take mRNA vaccines and claim that’s the problem should have no problem with this, right? Right?
Yes, the same conservatives who always complain about government red tape keeping anything from getting done and who also were offended by the government cutting through red tape and getting something done quickly when it was important.
Yup. My husband and I were in the Novavax trial here in Australia, and the doctor at the trial said she was surprised more people weren’t interested, since its not an mRNA vaccine…
Looks decent enough. According to Wikipedia it has an efficacy of just over 90% after second shot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novavax_COVID-19_vaccineI would have guessed mRNA would be more efficient, it’s such a damned brilliant principle.
If it’s a traditional vaccine, I wonder if they’ll see the same issues with blood clots as the J&J vaccine.
It’s traditional in the sense that it uses viral particles, but it’s not the same kind as J&J. That one uses the host’s own cells to produce the bad mRNA that triggers the immune response. Novavax uses fragments of the COVID virus itself.
My dad gets this due to an allergy to a preservative/carrier agent in thr mRNA vaccines. It is hard to find.
I remember when Vox did actual journalism instead of this trash.
I thought it was a pretty well written advertisement
