Novavax for covid - any worries with this one?

Post by Weetabix »

My daughter is in the Army Reserve, and she's avoided the mRNA vaccines. Now, they're pushing a new "more traditional" vaccine. I suspect it's the Novavax vaccine. Apparently, it injects spike proteins that are cultured outside the body as opposed to the mRNA's which make your body itself create that spike storm or whatever it's called.

What do you know about it? What are the risks?

Fire away!

is it forced vaccination. If not, just say no. The current variants are puffs of smoke for most people. My parents (mid 70's with some health issues) have it and are self treating.
One day of probably getting sick
two days of this isn't fun
one day of literally too tired to get out of bed
two days of this isn't fun but getting better
one day of definitely feeling much better and likely be over this tomorrow

Dad had that. Mom had it slightly less bad.
equated it to a moderately bad flu minus vomiting

Army Reserve appears to be saying, "Take some vax or get a dishonorable discharge."

I guess my question is, what's worse - Novavax or the DD?

Re: any of these 'rona related vaxes

I've gone from initially saying
"I don't want one, won't get one -- but wish you well if you do"

to

"Don't. Just don't. Do not participate in this evil. Unacceptable proven risk. Completely ineffective and unnecessary. Refuse it. The whole programe is freaking of the Devil"

If pushed I say that you don't/won't refuse it you
a) don't have a spine or
b) you at best are head in the sand willfully ignorant or at worst may not have a brain .
This whole thing is now manifestly evil and has been a deception from day 1 the of the Wuhan GoF funding thru to the current vax de jour. This only the latest attempt for finally succeeded in panicking us into stampede. They tried and failed with ARS, MERS, Ebola, H1N1 attempts

A little deeper dig, and it appears that involuntary separation would be Honorable or General, not Dishonorable. Rage on, BE!

I submit that whatever they are, they pale by comparison to potential lifelong consequences of the jab -- physically as well as spiritually.
