I have no idea what that means in this context.

However, contrary to every statement you have made in this thread, Pfizer has liability protection for both the Pfizer-BioNtech branded vaccine and the Comirnaty-branded vaccine, and people in the United States have recourse through government structured compensation programs for both vaccines. (the CICP and the NVICP, respectively).

The labeling of the vaccination has no bearing on liability for Pfizer whatsoever.


Everyone is speculating what the legal differences are between BionNTech-Pfizer and Comirnaty. We know there is a legal distinction between the two because they tell us so in footnote one of their FDA FAQ document on the vaccine EUA and approval:

Just know that BioNTech-Pfizer currently remains under EUA. This vaccine is available and companies that are implementing mandates are implementing them under the assumption that the available vaccine has full FDA approval. The available vaccine does not have full FDA approval.

However Comirnaty does have full FDA approval, but it's not available.

This conflict is very easy for companies to resolve and implement their mandates for Joe Biden under the auspices of full FDA approval; just provide Comirnaty.

Easy peasy.

Correct. One is the marketing name for the other that was used in seeking full approval. That is your legal distinction. Just as Tylenol and walgreens-labeled acetominaphen are "legally distinct" despite being made on the same assembly line and being otherwise totally identical.

They don't have to. The FDA has already stated that the two vaccines are identical in formulation and effect, and that they are interchangeable. Hence the renewed EUA for the generic vaccine after the name brand version was approved. Its a manufacturing hurdle, and nothing more.

This naming situation that you guys are focused on is NOT why the vaccine mandate from OSHA is not being issued, or why it would be struck down with quickness
