Stated because its an old-school vaccine, not mrna gene therapy that its basically ok, even if its supposedly "not as effective". Anyone have sauce on this?
At least it's not mRNA... There is about a 20 year history with non replicating viral vector vaccines compared to a "right now" history with mRNA.
Interesting to note that the only approved "Inactivated virus" vaccines are from China, specifically Wuhan. (Gee...maybe they know something we don't?) Others are in development in China, India, Russia and Kazakhstan.

Here is a page that describes the different types of vaccines and tracks the status of approval for numerous applicants. FYI https://www.goodrx.com/blog/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-availability-live-updates/
I'm holding out for Novavax. US company, protein sub-unit vaccine.
