Re: BuckCYDYLong #127228
As a NVAX investor and wannabe vaccine taker (but they won't let me, because I had previous vaccinations) -- let me just say: there is NO question that the mRNA vaccines and JNJ's viral vector vaccine saved hundreds of thousands or millions of American lives, and countless more people from other countries, from the initial, Delta, and original Omicron variants.
But now they do NOT work against the BA5 variant.
Novavax's protein-based vaccine should work to some extent on BA5 and new variants because it includes proteins from the unchanging main body of the virus, in addition to the ever-mutating spike protein.
So, why was the U.S. the LAST major company to grant EUA to an American company's more effective vaccine? Why did they slow-walk it until Pfizer and Moderna were granted contracts for additional vaccine, which we know will not work well on BA5?
Kinda obvious, dontcha think?
