No disrespect intended, in fact I am completely fascinated by the emergence of the swine flu and am very interested to know more about it. If you will recall we had quite the spirited discussion on this very matter on the MSN P&M board last fall. Perhaps this site will be of service in arming us all with the knowledge and support we need in order to both understand and combat this form of influenza. Thank you very much for your contribution to this board, I expect it will generate a lot of discussion.

Meet dothedd or barb as we call her on the board....... she could probably tell you whatever you want to know about NVAX and N1H1, she has been tracking it for years and will be bringing a wealth of information from the MSN board Diver, The bottom line is that H1N1 and H5N1 are mutating. There is no easy answer. I have been cross referencing information since 2005 and posting to the other board since 2008. I suggest reading some of the threads on the MSN NVAX BOARD before it is deleted to glean an understanding of the subject matter. moneycentral.msn.com/community/message/board.asp?symbol=NVAX&BoardID=524

Baby Cakes: If you recall, a few years ago I offered to loan you my "Bobcat" ... I haven't needed it [pause] this year, but winter has just begun. I'm doing great after a tumultuous three years of passing family members. I'm off to the slopes again in a couple of weeks ... after years of not being able to leave town. Life is good!

HI Ty:
I decided to give up posting on message boards after MSN announced that they were shutting down their stock boards; however, in retrospect, I believe Novavax has a story to tell ... so here I am.
We need to find another NOG!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

CW:I am on a time line to transfer 2+ years of work from the MSN NVAX Board to this new board before the other board is shut-down forever.Briefly, here is an explanation from Novavax's Website: "Novavax, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, creating novel vaccines to address a broad range of infectious diseases worldwide, including H1N1, using advanced proprietary virus-like particle (VLP) technology. The Company produces potent VLP-based, recombinant vaccines utilizing new and efficient manufacturing approaches. Our world-class scientific team is using virus-like particle (VLP) technology to tackle influenza viruses – including avian strains that have the potential to cause a pandemic outbreak. Our team has created vaccines designed to protect against various circulating strains of pandemic influenza including H1N1 and H5N1 influenza, as well as seasonal flu, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). We have validated our approach in animals and are now in clinical testing with our pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccines. Our vision is a holistic approach to controlling the spread of disease. Using a unique portable manufacturing system that allows for rapid mass production, our long-term goal is to be able to rapidly deliver a customized vaccine in the midst of a pandemic. Novavax plans to apply its VLP-based vaccine approach to other viral diseases beyond influenza." My particular interest in Novavax is that its vaccines are formulated without ADJUVANTS/PRESERVATIVES, as well as, the time frame of the manufacturing process to product.
Novavax's approach makes it possible to produce vaccine within 10 to 12 WEEKS of new viral strain identification with high yields, verses 8 to 10+ MONTHS for egg vaccines experiencing as much as 30% loss of product due to contamination.
Peruse the website Manufacturing link and note the difference.
That's the short of it!
Yes, in my opinion it is worth your time and effort to investigate Novavax, because of its importance and relevance to the future of all vaccine manufacturing, and also as a consideration for a short or long-term investment. When I have completed "MY TASK", and when I return from vacation, I will be available to devote time chatting about Novavax.
Until then, I wish you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.DOTHEDD
My suggestion is to start at HOME and read to the end of MEDIA. www.novavax.com/ IT IS FASCINATING!DISCLOSURE: I am a Novavax Shareholder

NOVAVAX Launches Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate its Novel Vaccine Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine candidate targets world’s leading cause of infant death and childhood respiratory disease ...
Rockville, MD – January 4, 2011 – Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) announced today that it has begun patient enrollment in a Phase I clinical trial to assess the safety, immunogenicity and tolerability of a vaccine candidate against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In this blinded, placebo-controlled, escalating-dose study of healthy adults 18 to 49 years old, a total of 100 subjects will be allocated to four cohorts and randomized to receive vaccine treatment or saline placebo in a 4:1 ratio. It is expected that interim top-line data from the trial will be available in the third quarter of 2011.
Remarking on this key accomplishment for the Company, Dr. Rahul Singhvi, Novavax’s President and CEO, said, “The launch of this trial is timely because there are no vaccines currently approved for RSV disease, which is the most important viral cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and children worldwide and is a major cause of respiratory illness in elderly adults. The initiation of the trial for this RSV vaccine candidate marks a key milestone for Novavax, as the Company now has a clinical candidate in a second major disease target in addition to influenza.”
Novavax has evaluated its RSV vaccine candidate in well-accepted animal models of toxicity and disease and found it to be safe at all doses tested. Preclinical results have shown induction of neutralizing antibodies and protection from RSV challenge with no disease enhancement and no detection of disease in any of the animals immunized with the vaccine at any dose level tested. Novavax’s vaccine uses highly purified recombinant particles of RSV-F fusion protein normally found in the virus.
About Respiratory Syncytial Virus
RSV is the most important viral cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and children worldwide. The global disease burden is estimated at 64 million cases and 160,000 deaths every year. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia in children under 1 year of age in the United States. Each year, 75,000 to 125,000 children in this age group are hospitalized due to RSV infection. Almost all children will have had an RSV infection by their second birthday. When infants and children are exposed to RSV for the first time, 25% to 40% of them have signs or symptoms of bronchiolitis or pneumonia, and 0.5% to 2% will require hospitalization. Most children hospitalized for RSV infection are under 6 months of age. Additionally, wheezing illnesses caused by RSV, particularly those severe enough to lead to hospitalization, are associated with an increased risk of asthma at school age.
It is also estimated that more than 8.5 million adults, including the elderly over age 65 years, are infected and 900,000 patients are hospitalized annually due to RSV infection in the United States and major European countries. In the United States alone there are 177,500 hospitalizations among high-risk adults resulting in annual medical costs exceeding $1 billion. There is currently no approved vaccine for the prevention of RSV.
About Novavax
Novavax, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company creating novel vaccines to address a broad range of infectious diseases worldwide, including H1N1, using advanced proprietary virus-like-particle (VLP) technology. The company produces potent VLP-based recombinant vaccines utilizing new and efficient manufacturing approaches. Novavax is committed to using its VLP technology to create country-specific vaccine solutions. The company has formed a joint venture with Cadila Pharmaceuticals, named CPL Biologicals, to develop and manufacture vaccines, biological therapeutics and diagnostics in India.
