Loading ...Canada approves world’s first PLANT-based COVID-19 vaccine for adults aged under 65
‘Covifenz’ shot uses plant material that resembles virus particles to create immunity
- The Covifenz plant-based vaccine has been approved for use in people age 18 to 64 by Canadian regulators
- It is the first plant based COVID-19 vaccine, and this is the first approval it has earned anywhere in the world
- Covifenz showed 71% effectiveness as preventing infection from the virus before Omicron arrived late last year
- Canadian officials expressed excitement that the homegrown vaccine was a breakthrough for the nation’s biotechnology industry
- Clinical trials for the jab did not include the Omicron variant, which managed to evade protection provided by other shots
Covifenz, developed as a joint-venture between Canada‘s Medicago and the UK’s GlaxoSmithKline, uses plant material to mimic the virus’s spike protein once injected into a person’s body.
The vaccine is a two-dose jab that is ‘refrigerator stable’, meaning it does not requires the hyper-cold storage that the Moderna and Pfizer shots do for transport.
Phase 3 trials for the shot included 24,000 adults in six countries. Not enough data for the over 65 age group was gathered for regulators to make a decision.

Health Canada authorizes Medicago COVID-19 vaccine for adults 18 to 64 years of age
The vaccine is authorized for use in adults 18 to 64 years of age, based on the data that was reviewed by Health Canada. There was limited enrolment of participants older than 65 years of age in the clinical trials because a large proportion of older individuals were already vaccinated. Medicago is currently gathering data in older individuals to support regulatory authorization for this age group.
In keeping with the Department’s commitment to openness and transparency, Health Canada is publishing multiple documents related to its decision, including a high-level summary of the evidence it reviewed to support the authorization of the vaccine. More detailed information will be available in the coming weeks, including a detailed scientific summary and the full clinical trial results that support the use of this vaccine.

They fucked themselves on this one.
I no longer trust Health Canada.
Columbia — probably true — but why? Please elaborate…..
Thx
Presently, there is no reason to receive a shot for Covid. The virus took out those who were susceptible to it. It’s now a mild illness. Sure we will lose more people. Even a minor infection can kill an immunosuppressed person.
Thus the only need to get a shot is to acquire a Passport. That’s their goal.
On top of that, I no longer trust their messaging about anything. No credibility. They burned that bridge when they lied about everything we now know to be false. Still pushing the mask narrative. In BC the shots are still Safe and Effective because Health Canada says so. They probably still believe no one has died from the shots.
Remember, “The only way forward is through vaccination, get vaccinated”. We have fallen back on Omicron to produce natural immunity, that they downplayed as inferior prior to this. But they still push the ineffective shots.
They used the RT-PCR test and now the RAT test to tell us we have Covid. Both produce false positives as we all know. Useless for diagnostics. Symptomatic testing is a lost concept to them. So what do they do, test everyone with a test that exaggerates the pandemic by multiples, same with deaths.
Its all about credibility.
other ingredients are good ? Non-medicinal ingredients:
Polysorbate 80
Potassium Phosphate Monobasic Anhydrous
Sodium Chloride
Sodium Phosphate Dibasic Anhydrous
Water for Injection.
May contain trace amounts of polyethylene glycol, kanamycin and carbenicillin.
Sodium Phosphate is that lovely drink that we take to empty our bowels before a colonoscopy. Basically a strong laxative.
Why take anything at this stage. It’s endemic and mild.
My personal philosophy is that I would only take a sterilizing vaccine for a virus that has a good chance of making me very ill or the chance of death is higher than the known side effects.
I don’t take the annual Flu shot as it has a low efficacy most years and I would rather build my immune system one illness at a time.
I have never refused a sterilizing vaccine that I was offered. Luckily I contracted most of the childhood illnesses through “exposure parties” in the early 60’s. Whooping cough wasn’t nice but I contracted it as well from someone. I don’t remember but Mom said it was touch and go.
Covifenz ? Who is in charge of naming these things >?
sheesh
The whole public health institution is a failure
Doctors cannot be trusted
So who in their right mind would take a newly developed shot?
They can stick Covifenz up where the sun does not shine
