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?

Thanks to the anti Vax idiots, a lot of these dumb-asses aren't even getting flu shots anymore. I've had to send off tons of people to the hospital for complications from the flu over the past few weeks. Lotta old people have shit and vomited themselves into dehydration, crashing their blood pressure and making them pass out or fall and hurt themselves.

Uh, we had couple young children die of Diphtheria in Latvia this year, and everyone online was blaming the doctors for not saving them instead of blaming the parents for refusing vaccination

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.

Did you read the COVID report released by the oversight committee earlier this month? Part of the overview basically says: "Trump saved us at Warp Speed™ with his vaccines!!", about a paragraph apart from "Biden bad for rushing vaccines".

This one is made with aborted fetuses, maybe. Nutters think HEK293 cells can really be considered fetus tissue.

I think that's what they call Okazaki fragments.

Maybe some of them, but what I heard a lot of during COVID's height was fearmongering about mRNA vaccines.
