There is a safe & effective protein-based vaccine alternative to the two mRNA COVID vaccines: Novavax. I encourage everyone to investigate it & consult with their physicians (if their physicians are knowledgeable--& up to date on the peer-reviewed literature; most clinicians are not; as far as I know there are 3 peer-reviewed studies, with one published last week, documenting mRNA vaccine-induced adverse effects in a percentage--perhaps 5-10%, of the vaccinated population; in that subset there are other subsets with pre-existing conditions that combined with the mRNA adjuvants to result in adverse effects; net-net: adverse events are sometimes not solely caused by the mRNA vaccine adjuvants). We have the Novavax alternative now. We will have a nasal COVID vaccine in the not-too-distant future.
