> Conventional vaccines are sterilizing

Many vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity. Just to give one random example: flu vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity.

> have good safety records

The various SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have very good safety records. They've been administered to billions of people, and the rates of serious side-effects are on the order on one per several hundred thousand - orders of magnitude lower than the rate of serious complications from infection.

> The new Novavax vaccine, which is a conventional vaccine

I don't know how you're defining "conventional" here, but Novavax also uses a new vaccine platform.

I know 2 people with severe adverse events from the vaxx.

Considering how many vaccinations I have received my life due to military service, that is an order of magnitude worse than any vaccination, ever.
