Re: “Novavax may combine the flu and COVID-19 vaccines together”I heard an interview today with a nurse who said that the majority of patients admitted to her hospital are suffering from vaccine consequences not Covid-19. I hope that there will eventually be a way of knowing the rate of severe reactions PER vaccine, but right now they're just treating them all the same and not doing honest reporting on the risks. A study I saw recently omitted "death" from its report! It also omitted "menstrual changes" - which I gather is incredibly common among women (and men who menstruate.)

Before I get inoculated, I want to know how dangerous Novavax is.

Fortunately, there continue to be very few Covid-19 cases in my part of the state and I feel little pressure to get vaccinated. I'll just wait until the viral risk worsens or I learn enough about Novavax to be comfortable with the risk. Today I learned that 6 times more teen boys suffer heart problems from the vaccine than are hospitalized by COVID. Is that because of mRNA or because of spike proteins? it matters. If the latter, will Novavax with its limited number of spike proteins be an improvement? There's still a lot that isn't known.

Novavax may combine the flu and COVID-19 vaccines together
Herb Scribner 1 day ago

COVID-19 vaccine developer Novavax has started a new trial for a vaccine that would combine the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine, Reuters reports.

The trial will include 640 healthy adults from 50 to 70 years old who either were infected with COVID-19 or received the COVID-19 vaccine, according to Reuters.
Participants will receive a combination of the NVX-CoV2373 COVID-19 vaccine and the NanoFlu influenza shot.

“Combination of these two vaccines ... may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen,” Gregory Glenn, president of Research and Development at Novavax, said in a statement, according to Reuters.

What is the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine?
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine has been in development for more than a year. It’s been unclear when the vaccine would be available for use. In June, Novavax said it would submit its COVID-19 vaccine for approval to the Food and Drug Administration in the third quarter of 2021, suggesting it could be available for purchase in the fall.

Experts previously told Politico that the Novavax vaccine will be a popular option in the U.S.

“I do think it’s going to play a larger role,” said Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University, according to Politico. “In the short to medium term, at least, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has taken a reputational hit and people are more hesitant to take it. In addition, J&J has had major production problems at its Baltimore plant. And as a result I think Novavax is going to be a reasonably significant player.”
Is Novavax effective?

The company also said its two-dose COVID-19 vaccine is about 90.4% effective, according to data from three clinical trials that included 30,000 participants, according to CNBC.

Novavax said its vaccine was 100% effective in stopping moderate and severe COVID-19
