Help me understand - since the two are the same ingredients/same vax, why is one FDA approved but not available, and the other on EUA is the only available?
Comirnaty is what Pfizer and BioNTech branded their vaccine as when applying for full authorization. Since that authorization back in late August, there is still not enough of the Comirnaty-branded vials for mass distribution in this country.
Because of that, the FDA renewed the EUA for Pfizer's generically labeled vaccine to facilitate continuted distribution in the meantime.
That is oversimplifying a bit, but one Pfizer vaccine having full approval (Comirnaty) is not mutually exclusive with the same vaccine under a different label having an EUA (generic version).
In short, there is nothing there. Pfizer just hasn't pumped out enough Comirnaty-labeled vaccines yet since it received the full approval. The FDA has acknowledged that, and there is no effective difference between the two labels vis-a-vis liability for Pfizer or injury recourse.

You're going to have to link this please. I have not read this. Everything you have written in your post are assumptions that sound plausible but remain assumptions.
In fact in the FDA FAQ I linked doctors are required to inform their patients receiving the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine that the vaccine remains under EUA.
