Novavax is just as effective, but far less likely to cause fevers and fatigue.

Summary

The Novavax Covid vaccine offers an effective alternative to mRNA vaccines, with fewer side effects.

Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna shots, which commonly cause fatigue, fever, and headaches, Novavax is based on older vaccine technology and results in milder, shorter-lasting reactions.

mRNA vaccines dominated early due to rapid development, but Novavax offers comparable Covid prevention effectiveness, with studies suggesting longer-lasting antibody responses.

Despite these advantages, Novavax remains underutilized, largely due to timing and misconceptions about its efficacy. Experts encourage considering it as an equal option.

      Getting a needle in your arm that is so tiny that you barely notice the shot is enough to give you a psychotic break?

      Also, why is dying hair a bad thing? Do you think anyone over 55 with hair that isn’t white or grey doesn’t dye it?

      Let me guess, you’ve also turned down the measles vaccine. And polio. And viral hepatitis.

      Same reason I don’t put on my seat belt until the moment of impact. Total waste otherwise!

      Who the fuck claimed vaccines improve mental health?
      If it did, it sounds like you could use a few.
