>>The recent results confirm that it has roughly the same efficacy as the two authorized mRNA vaccines, with the added benefit of being based on an older, more familiar science.

What does roughly mean here? Pfizer and Moderna don't "roughly" have the same efficacy against Delta. Moderna has much higher efficacy.

Efficacy against the Delta variant is not a minor detail, Delta is the dominant variant, by far. Efficacy against older variants is simply not relevant anymore. The clinical trial results published [1] are silent on that.

Given that, I think it's completely unsupported to state that Novavax is "even better". It might be, or it might not; it might be better than Pfizer, but worse than Moderna. We simply don't know. This article should not have been allowed to be published. There is no evidence presented for the strong claim in the title.
