'The new treatment is based off protein-based technology that has been used in other vaccines for decades and it does not use MRNA.'
So is it, by FDA definition, a Gene therapy ?? . Is there a quick tl:dr on the mechanism of action for this 'protein-based technology' ??.
EDit. Oh had a quick look , appears to be an actual traditional vaccine, however where did they get the initial viral culture from - an actual infected person or is it more ' from the uploaded spike protein genome'. Would have to know lots more about it, before even considering to 'recommend' it , lol.
Here's the other one that I know of https://www.novavax.com I'm not sure what "proprietary recombinant nanoparticle vaccine technology" is but it isn't MRNA. It doesn't appear to be in clinical trials in North America so I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, first time i heard about novavax it was touted as a traditional vaccine, i thought cool - finally a normal vaccine for those not wanting the experimental gene therapy , then when i did look into and mechanism for operation, i was like 'WTF this ain't no traditional vacc'. Anything using recombinant nanoparticle vaccine technology is a hard pass for me personally. Same as the two covid jabs using the adenovirus vector (of a m-RNA spike protein) J&j / AstraZeneca. Basically all the ones on offer are just differing various renditions on the spike protein (uploaded from a computer algorithm simulation ) All are a class of Gene therapy and Gene editing ...
"first time i heard about novavax it was touted as a traditional vaccine" Thanks for this. I wasn't sure if I was mis-remembering having read that on their web site, probably something like a year a go. Yeah it's pretty clear now that Novavax is anything but a traditional vaccine.
