@1finekitty Does anyone have data on #novavax vs others for bivalent boosters? There were a certain type of antimask doctors who were obsessed with novavax but I never saw any good evidence that it's actually better than MRNA vaccines.

@pezmico @Antigrav pretty sure I have been exposed multiple times, used to be extremely cautious, but as I read everything and believe the data, I got #Novavax for my last 3 boosters, and tell everyone at any opportunity to get all their boosters of any protein vaccine, they are much better than the mRNA vaccines for this type of virus, the data is pretty clear now. Unfortunately most people just take in the surface info and what their local public health is telling them, which in most Western countries has been disastrous.

So yeah technically I'm "not cautious" now because I believe (possibly erroneously, but my N=1 data is so far holding out) that I'm pretty protected, but I point people to the labs with The Cure™️

I FOUND A NOVAVAX VACCINE LOCALLY!!!

I hadn't heard of any in stock near me until today. If you're in Colorado and want to get it, City Drug in Fort Collins had them and are very nice!

Whatever vaccine you are wanting, keeping up with covid boosters helps make sure your protection doesn't wane and is a valuable additional layer to masking in public spaces!!

@sidawson gonna be the asshole here and note that I've now been on *counts* 9 flights with my daughter since she was born, and neither of us have caught covid.*

* I've had 2 x Pfiiiiizer 3 x #Novavax, (and still express milk so she still gets some antibodies).

I've also got one friend with long covid, and keep hearing about mysterious or blood-issue related deaths in relatively young people. I do indeed believe #CovidIsNotOver, but one of the largest tragedies was the biggest bets being on mRNA which has long term not been as efficacious as some of the other horses in the race.

Can someone who knows about #covid and #vaccines tell me where I can find more info on how people should go between booster shots? (In the US). Also info about whether with current strains the #bivalent booster is still the best option or whether #novavax might make more sense? Thanks and sorry for all the annoying hashtags, not that many people follow me 🤷

@VeeRat @novid
omg omg omg!! yay #novavax!!! 🥳🥳

This is great news for all of us since what happens in the US almost dictates what's going to be avaliable for others
