The Frankfurter Rundscau points out that:

-------------------
the Novavax vaccine is also often referred to as a "Totimpfstoff" (deactivated/killed vaccine). Thats not right. In fact, it is a protein-based vaccine candidate. At least that's what the US company Novavax writes on its website. The new Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach, is blowing the same horn. The SPD politician recently wrote on Twitter: “Can you please stop calling the Novavax vaccine a killed vaccine? It's a recombinant protein vaccine. " He further rumbled: "Because so many unvaccinated people only want killed vaccine, for whatever reason, Novavax available soon will be referred to as such." In addition, unlike the vaccine from Novavax, the mRNA corona vaccines are "tried and tested billions of times".

The vaccine from Novavax is therefore not one of the mRNA vaccines, such as those from Biontech and Moderna, nor is it part of the group of vector vaccines (Astrazeneca, Johnson & Johnson). So what does that mean, "recombinant protein vaccine"? In the Novavax vaccine, the so-called spike protein from Sars-CoV-2 is used and reproduced en masse in insect cells. The result is a reaction from the human immune system. After the vaccination, this forms antibodies against the protein, so a corona infection can be warded off. In addition, a potentiator (a so-called adjuvant) is added to strengthen the immune response. This stimulates a large amount of neutralizing antibodies. Immediately after vaccination, the immune system can begin to produce antibodies against the spike protein of the coronavirus - an advantage of the protein-based vaccine.
--------------------------

BTW, the new German health minister is a competent man for medical topics, being a doctor himself, but that is an understatement. This is his vita on his website:

In his party he is seen critically because he does not easily or always fall into the party's ideological line, and often rans a one-man show and plotted courses even against the official course set by the party. Many in the SPD reject him, therefore. His medical competence however is even respected in the opposition (AfD excluded, of course).
