Novavax has held up well against variants in the data released. They are moving forward internationally but are having problems setting up production in the US for scale so they have delayed twice now for EUA. What’s good about Novavax is that tens of millions of people in the US have had a vaccine that uses the same biotechnology. The Novavax Covid vaccine works with the same technology as the shingles vaccine, hep b and a couple of other widely used vaccines that have shown long term efficacy. I think this one will eventually replace what is currently used, mRNA and vector vaccines, but it will take a couple of years before it clears in the US.
Vaccines typically require years of research and testing before reaching the clinic, but in 2020, scientists embarked on a race to produce safe and effective coronavirus vaccines in record time. Researchers are currently testing 99 vaccines in clinical trials on humans, and 33 have reached the final stages of testing. More than 75 preclinical vaccines are under active investigation in animals. New additions and recent updates Aug. 24 Bavarian Nordic moves to Phase 2.

Nobody seemed to have an answer other than to look at a specific country and tried to find all the available vaccines in that country. The above list of vaccines should be helpful to others trying to keep track of all the vaccines on this planet. It has now become my go to list for all the vaccines. Too bad Baron has yet to create a way for thread starters to enable a sticky note list of message posts within their own thread...maybe we should ask Baron again down in the feedback section. wrbtrader
Some excerpts below. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ultra-vaccinated-israels-debacle-is-a-dire-warning-to-america Ultra-Vaxxed Israel’s Crisis Is a Dire Warning to America “I don’t want to frighten you,” Israel’s COVID czar Dr. Salman Zarka told parliament this week. “But… unfortunately, the numbers don’t lie.” - Noga Tarnopolsky JERUSALEM—The massive surge of COVID-19 infections in Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries on earth, is pointing to a complicated path ahead for America. In June, there were several days with zero new COVID infections in Israel. The country launched its national vaccination campaign in December last year and has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, with 80 percent of citizens above the age of 12 fully inoculated. COVID, most Israelis thought, had been defeated. All restrictions were lifted and Israelis went back to crowded partying and praying in mask-free venues. A deadly set of circumstances came together to put Israel on the precipice, most of which can be summed up as: “We are still in the midst of a pandemic, and there is no silver bullet.” “All the vectors have influenced the rise in morbidity,” he said. But the principal causes of Israel’s current predicament are the dominance of the extremely infectious Delta variant, which was carried into the country by Israelis returning from foreign vacations during the weeks in which Israel dropped all restrictive measures—along with the worrisome decrease in vaccine efficacy after about six months. But in early July, with citizens over the age of 60 almost completely vaccinated, Israeli scientists began observing a worrisome rise in infections—if not in severe illness and death—among the double-vaccinated.
Japan pulls 1.6M COVID vaccine doses over suspected contamination https://www.cbsnews.com/news/japan-covid-vaccine-doses-contamination-coronavirus-cases-paralympics/ Tokyo — Japan's Health Ministry has pulled about 1.63 million doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine out of use after 39 unused vials at eight vaccination sites were discovered to be contaminated with a still-unspecified substance. No safety issues have been reported. All of the suspect vials were manufactured in Spain. Moderna has been sent primarily to mass-vaccination centers in Japan, such as universities and large companies, and it was unclear how badly the incident might set back Japan's already-delayed inoculation campaign. More than 800 vaccination sites were affected. Touring a vaccination clinic in Tokyo's Sumida Ward on Thursday, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told Japanese media that he'd ordered health officials to "make safety our top priority" in responding to the tainted vaccine issue. He offered assurances that the incident "would not have a significant impact" on the country's vaccination program, which lags significantly behind those of other major industrialized nations.

I've talked about this for the past few months about vaccine contamination, placebo vaccines, and black-market vaccines (not really vaccines) that are just dirty. This is what's currently circulating in the world and it makes you wonder about the reports of adverse health reactions to vaccines in 3rd world countries or countries that made a mistake to allow these types of vaccines to be used in their population. I remember a report back in December 2020 that 1 million people had been vaccinated BEFORE vaccines were released to the global world. How in the fuck is that possible unless there were a lot of fake vaccines or black-market vaccines released. wrbtrader

If everyone gets vaxxed in US, it will put an end to covid they said. It is all unvaxxed fault they said. Oh shit..... https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733 They all belonged to the Delta variant, and were phylogenetically distinct from the contemporary Delta variant sequences obtained from community transmission cases, suggestive of ongoing transmission between the workers. Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020.
