Novavax’s COVID-19 Vaccine May Be
Authorized Next

Original Article

Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine may be the next shot to receive emergency authorization in the U.S.. The company is preparing to file the FDA paperwork in coming weeks and could beat out other vaccine manufacturers such as AstraZeneca. Public health officials and researchers see the Novavax shot as an option to fill in supply gaps in the U.S. and worldwide after safety concerns emerged with the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. “I do think it’s going to play a larger role,” Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University, told Politico.

Finally a vaccine that doesn't manipulate your RNA and isn't manufactured from aborted fetal cells.

I'm pretty sure the vials we already have will be quite sufficient for the demand....unless they plan on government forced vaccinations.

Another vaccine that hasn't been tested for possible long range side effects? No, thanks. I will wait a few more years, and see what happens to those who took these vaccines. Remember Thalidomide, anyone? I hope they are safe, but I don't have many more years as it is, so why take a chance on hastening the end?

Kind of late, isn't it? Btw, if they start calling for boosters, do I have to stick with the manufacturer I used for the original shots? Nothing like playing Russian roulette, and that's exactly what we are doing with these vaccines.

This is the first vaccine presented which is actually a vaccine, in the conventional sense. The company has done a complex two stage process to make isolated "spike proteins" (which are on the outside of the Wuhan flu virus, and which enable it to link to and enter human cells). After creating a lot of spike proteins, they combine them into a "nanoparticle" which is basically nothing but spike proteins array around a tiny core, which is externally similar to the Wuhan virus with a surface studded with spike proteins. This is a bit like wrapping a wolf skin over a softball to make something that might smell like a wolf on the outside, and be good for training dogs to track wolves. Wuhan virus "skin" wrapped around a nothing core to simulate the virus and train your immune system. Then they inject these balls of spike proteins into your body with an adjuvant which helps attract the attention of your immune system to these balls of spike proteins. No mRNA to make your cells manufacture spike proteins. Just a ball of externally made spike proteins. This Novavax approach used the concept used in normal vaccines. THIS is pretty much how old school, real vaccines work, although made in a more modern, high tech way. If I was more frightened of getting the Wuhan virus, I might very well take this vaccine. But, at this point, I have managed to go a year when the claims were that it "is everywhere" and not get it, or at least if I got a few viruses (very likely) my immune system stomped them flat and I didn't get the disease. I think my odds of getting it now are far lower. But, if I WERE afraid of this virus, I think this one seems, at first look, to pass muster as a real vaccine. Novavax is a US company headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD which is about 25 miles from Ft. Detrich which is the US biowarfare center. Perhaps formed or staffed by (patriotic?) docs who once worked at Ft. Detrich? Unlikely coincidence to have a vaccine company formed right next to a biowarfare lab without a connection. I consider that to be good, since I think that the biowarfare folks are competent and highly likely motivated by patriotism. In any case, this is a type of vaccine technology that I would most likely trust, far more than the never before successful mRNA technology. Here's a good article on the vaccine.....skip over the other vaccines, down to the Novavax.... https://theconversation.com/new-covid-19-vaccines-heres-how-the-promising-novavax-and-johnson-and-johnson-jabs-work-154289 And here is a much more detailed look, from a source that I don't trust on many things, NYT, but this MIGHT not get the attention of their political commisars, might be accurate. It sounds accurate. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/novavax-covid-19-vaccine.html

#10, tjeoretically "available". Many (most?) docs will not prescribe HCQ or ivermectin for Wuhan flu in the early stages, or for prophylactic purposes. I am thinking very hard about contacting the Frontline docs and getting an online visit and a prescription for ivermectin, ... just in case.

A Texas county's Democratic Party has sparked outrage by refusing the resignation of the chairman who called Republican Tim Scott an 'Oreo'. Gary O’Connor, the Lamar County Democratic Party chairman, said he was 'deeply sorry' for using the 'racist term' and announced his plans to step down. But his colleagues then issued their own statement to MyParisTexas.com saying: 'Our local Democrats have taken the last few days to reflect upon this incident. 'After much discussion — especially among our local [b]lack Democrats — we chose not to accept Mr. O’Connor’s resignation'. 'Mr. O’Connor has written a public letter of apology to Sen. Tim Scott, and Lamar County Democrats join him in this apology.'

Kamala Harris will be the first vice president to be immortalized in the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. The clay heads were created by a team of studio artists based in London. The artists use hundreds of images of their subjects to achieve exact likeness. The museum says the heads took six weeks to sculpt, and the figures will take between four to six months to complete. Like his predecessors, the museum will also make a wax figure of President Joe Biden. The museum released work-in-progress images of Harris and Biden as the U.S. leaders finished their first 100 days in office.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers had a surprise discovery last week: Their TV sets know a lot more about them than they'd ever thought, or ever agreed to. It turns out Beijing-based Gozen Data, a leading Chinese TV viewership analytics firm, has been collecting personal data in real time using smart TVs — without users' consent. The practice was first exposed when a user on V2EX, an online forum for tech enthusiasts, noticed their Skyworth-brand smart TV had become slow and analyzed the code of back-end programs to figure out why. What they found was a program that scans the user's Wi-Fi every 10 minutes.

A New York judge has released a man suspected of vandalizing synagogues across the Bronx - just hours after another judge defied the state's bail reform laws and ordered him locked up. Jordan Burnette, 29, faces 42 charges over a string of attacks on Jewish places of worship. He appeared in court Sunday, and was expected to be freed because New York State's bail reform laws say a suspect with his charges cannot be held on bail. But Bronx Judge Louis Nock classified some of the charges as 'hate crimes' and ordered him held on a $20,000 bail. However, the judge's defiance didn't last long.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping personally directed the communist regime to focus its efforts to control the global internet, displacing the influential role of the United States, according to internal government documents recently obtained by The Epoch Times. In a January 2017 speech, Xi said the “power to control the internet” had become the “new focal point of [China’s] national strategic contest,” and singled out the United States as a “rival force” standing in the way of the regime’s ambitions. The ultimate goal was for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control all content on the global internet, so the regime could wield what Xi described as “discourse power” over communications and discussions...

Facebook was justified in banning then-President Donald Trump from its platform the day after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, but it needs to reassess how long the ban will remain in effect, the social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said Wednesday. The decision to uphold the ban is a blow to Trump's hopes to post again to Facebook or Instagram anytime soon, but it opens the door to him eventually returning to the platforms. Facebook must complete a review of the length of the suspension within six months, the board said.
