Even though novavax vaccine is non-mRNA, it is still gene-based. so far gene-based vaccines are problematic at the moment. looks like sinovac is still safer ?  Thinking
But other people are skeptical. They note that Novavax has focused on making vaccines for more than 20 years but has never brought one to market, and that its senior executives have sold tens of millions of dollars of company stock since its share price began to soar this summer. Most significantly, the company has an Achilles’ heel. Novavax must rely mostly on contract manufacturers to meet its ambitious goal for 2021: producing enough vaccine to give 1 billion people two shots each. If manufacturing problems crop up—and the company last week said manufacturing delays had slowed launch of its late stage North American trial—competing vaccines may surge ahead. “That’s concerning,” says David Maris, a veteran drug industry analyst and managing director at Phalanx Investment Partners. Where small companies such as Novavax are concerned, he adds, “people do want to believe in fairy tales.”

Non mRNA mean non mRNA. Do not use gene based this term, it has no specific meaning.
Just take vaccines based on your personal principle and lifestyle....dun just follow others and jab like those songbo elderly...

Too technical for me to understand how each technology works, here is a simple explanation why Novavax is not a MRNA vaccine.

But it does not interfere with your gene.  It is different from mRNA . More like inactivated virus type. 

Should be safe..
One interact with cell mechanism to make spike protein (mRNA technology), one dun. Understand?
