Based on Novavax’s phase 3 clinical trials, their COVID-19 vaccine appears to have a substantially lower rate of side effects than the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.
Subunit vaccines are reliable and familiar—they have been around for many years. This technology is behind many of the routine childhood vaccinations for whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, and hepatitis B.4
They are also more stable and easier to store, unlike mRNA vaccines that require ultra-cold conditions for distribution.
“There is a huge experience behind this technology,” Yildirim says. “Some people may find this appealing, and we may have more people getting vaccinated. The subunits included in the vaccine are necessary to elicit a protective immune response, but they are not live, or they are not whole viruses and cannot cause disease in the vaccine recipient.”
Novavax’s vaccine instead delivers the spike protein itself, carried on soaplike particles and given extra punch by an immune-boosting substance called an adjuvant. Protein technology has been used for decades in vaccines against diseases including hepatitis B.
FRIDAY, Aug. 6, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Novavax said Thursday that it has applied for emergency use approval of its COVID-19 vaccine in India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Novavax said it would also soon submit its two-dose vaccine for approval in Britain, followed by Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, but won't seek approval in the United States until later in the year, the AP reported.
The Novavax approach is an injection of the spike protein itself, which is different from the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines which inject instructions so our cells can make the spike protein. Our experts stress that the protein on its own will not infect you with COVID-19.
A dose of just the protein is less work for our cells, as the bulk of that work takes place in the labs. To get the large number of spike proteins needed to produce vaccine doses, scientists create mass amounts of spike proteins using cells extracted from moths (yes, the insect).
So, for the "vaccine hesitant" here, would you take this one?
And boom, you've just dissected why the jab is the weapon.
Forever dependent on Big Pharma to keep you safe.
Fall out of line? No booster shot for you.
This concept has been illustrated in too many movies/literature to be ignored.
On May 22, 2021, Novavax and Moderna announced a deal with the South Korean government to manufacture their COVID-19 vaccines

Can you name the 'old fashioned version' of the vax that has been available for a while, please?
