Novavax's vaccine was also spike-protein-only, the difference between theirs and the mRNA ones was they created it artificially in moths then extracted it for the vaccine instead of generating inside the human body.


No, it was a vector vaccine.


Novavax was called "protein subunit", not "vector" - you're probably thinking of J&J and AstraZeneca which were adenovirus-vector - but also still just encoded the spike protein.
