Everything I see about the mRNA vaccines makes me conclude they should be avoided. What about the vaccines that aren’t? I’ve read a little about Johnson & Johnson and the next two in the pipeline AstraZeneca and Novavax. For example I heard the EU recommends people of child bearing age not take the mRNA vaccines, but should take the AstraZeneca one instead. Curious what other people’s research is on these other vaccines.
Maybe it will be moot soon, I read the article by the Johns Hopkins Doctor who says the Pandemic will be over in the U.S. in April.
It's essentially the "Dead virus" type vaccine that is akin to a flu shot, and its mechanism is that it uses the adenovirus spike protein, which is the same spike protein as COVID. to familiarize your immune system. As someone with comorbidities, I'm obligated to take it, but am going to wait until late april that way I can see if there are any bugs or kinks that need to be tamped out. If the pandemic ends before then and they backtrack and say that people don't need to get vaccinated, great, then I've saved myself a jab in the arm.
No, it's not like the dead virus vaccine. It's actually much more like the mRna vaccines than any dead virus types.
