CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

I'm hardly an expert, but that sounds like the traditional way of making a vaccine. Basically a weak strain of the virus in question ?

Novavax, AstraZeneca and J&J are basically made by the same method.

They deliberately infect a vector of some sort and then collect the proteins needed to form the vaccine, in the Novavax case they use a virus and moths.

In the case of the virus vectors, AstraZeneca and J&J use Adenovirus, Novavax use Baculovirus.
