CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Novavax is having trouble with funding , production and sourcing of materials. There is another rumour I read that the Government
might have pulled its part of the funding and some are suggesting Pfizer execs might have leaned on the Govt to delay Novavax entering the market.

There is very little technical reason to push for Novavax if you already have AZ available, the technologies are so similar they could be considered almost identical with the choice of vector making very little difference. The general feedback from regions already using both AZ and Novavax is that the efficacy and side-effect profiles are effectively identical.

Novavax is to AZ, what Moderna is to Pfizer.

Really, the whole Novavax / AZ / Pfizer / Moderna debate is another case of social media spreading "Certain Uncertainty", the Interwebs version of asking someone who has finally made a decision, "ARE YOU SURE?"

FWIW, you can throw a whole bunch of other competing vaccines into this debate, the global differences are so minimal.
