Uh, no. Dim claimed The Whitehouse is anti-Novavax - who the **** knows why? I checked that claim and sure enough, Dim’s just adding more nonsense to his alternative reality.
While I don't necessarily think the WH is anti-Novavax, Pfizer and Moderna are their vaccine darlings. And then there's this from Forbes:
"While Novavax has signed advance purchase agreements with governments and institutions, including Gavi, and the Vaccine Alliance, the uptake for the company’s shot is
likely to be limited to lower-income markets where vaccination rates remain low. Although booster doses were touted as another potential use for Novavax’s shot, it’s not clear how big the market will be for this, given that many countries are currently limiting boosters to elderly and high-risk populations. Moreover, Covid-19 treatments are also poised to get better and this could also reduce demand for vaccines. For instance, Merck
MRK -1.8% recently provided encouraging interim updates on its experimental oral Covid-19 drug, molnupiravir, indicating that it cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 50% for patients with mild-to-moderate Covid-19.
That said, we think that much of the negative news is now priced into Novavax stock, which remains down by almost 58% from its February 2021 highs. The stock now trades at about $135 per share, giving the company a market cap of about $10 billion, a fraction of Moderna, which is now valued at about $130 billion. At these levels, the stock appears to be a reasonable bet, considering that Novavax has opportunities beyond its Covid shot. For example, the company could see some potential upside from its promising NanoFlu vaccine, which it has been looking to combine with its Covid-19 shot, and also from its adjuvant called Matrix-M, which is used to enhance the immune response of vaccines."
The bolded means it's going to be distributed in the least wealthiest countries, hence, not the United States.
