Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
As you can see, we strongly believe in the potential of our technology and what it could mean for global public health and are excited for the opportunities that lie before us
Across Vaxart, we are excited about the potential of our norovirus vaccine program
We believe these data we have seen to date show promise for this vaccine candidate and more broadly, our vaccine platform
So we're very excited about that
The clinical data we have generated thus far across our multiple programs suggests that mucosal vaccination could provide several important advantages; broader, cross-variant protection, reduction in viral transmission, more durable protection, and a broader immune response through the activation of both serum and mucosal immunity
We made significant clinical progress in the second quarter, highlighted by the positive preliminary top line data that we reported from the Phase 2 dose ranging study for our bivalent norovirus oral vaccine candidate
During the second quarter, we are pleased to report positive preliminary top line results from our Phase 2 dose ranging study for our bivalent norovirus oral vaccine candidate within our stated timeline
To date, Vaxart’s COVID-19 vaccine construct has demonstrated a favorable immune profile
The results also demonstrate that the bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile that included no vaccine-related serious adverse events or SAEs, and no dose limiting toxicity
As you mentioned, we're very fortunate to move this study forward and to be able to deliver the data on time
Vaxart believes a cross-protective vaccine could improve our ability to fight future pandemics and is committed to that effort
Certainly, if we stay on track with what we've seen in previous studies and note robust responses from mucosal or cell-based assays, that would be very encouraging
We're very encouraged by the U.S
So we're fairly pleased that the data from that study to date is consistent with previous norovirus study results
And because of that, I think we’ll take a look at executing challenges in the future should they be needed, both when the challenge model is available and we think that we have the best opportunity to recruit individuals to move forward in the study
We believe our norovirus vaccine program has the potential to address this myth and the significant tremendous disease burden that norovirus carries
government's proactive approach to pandemic preparedness and strongly support global efforts to get ahead of the next global health crisis
Oral pill vaccines would allow us to vaccinate a lot more people faster, more easily and painlessly than we are doing today with injectable vaccines
However, there are some studies that suggest that if you vaccinate children, you can also improve the health of adults
This vision is the future of vaccination that we are working so hard to achieve
Once we've assessed that data, I think we can make a stronger decision moving forward
The potential advantages of oral pill vaccines are so fundamental that making them a reality could radically change how we think about vaccines and vaccination globally
We continue to believe in the potential of our bivalent norovirus candidate as we proceed toward a BLA submission
Congratulations on the quarterly progress
Vaxart continues to make progress on this program
Looking ahead, we have two important clinical milestones this year, and we remain on track to achieve them both
As we cope with a post emergency phase of the pandemic, we must build stronger defenses against future infectious diseases and other stress we face [ph]
And this is a very important distinctive feature of our platform
And as you can appreciate, there are advantages and disadvantages to partnering and going it alone
As we described in detail in our July announcement, the preliminary results of the trial showed robust serum immune responses across all doses at day 29 relative to day one
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors, including uncertainty inherent in the clinical development and regulatory process, and other risks described in the Risk Factors section of Vaxart's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and also on other periodic reports filed with the SEC
So I think that there is some seasonality to the traditional spread of norovirus, but it is a viral infection that impacts people year round
Norovirus is a significant public health issue in developed countries, and there is no approved vaccine
That said, there are outbreaks of norovirus that continue really on any month of the year
