The difference is branded bottles and unbranded bottles.....

The FDA desires to have a single, combined Vaccine Information Sheet. A single sheet keeps things simple for the people administering and receiving the vaccines. Since the branded and unbranded vials of vaccines are chemically identical, despite being legally distinct, this information must be included.


They couldn't put the brand name on vials until they had FDA approval.....


Pfizer and BioNTech received permission to market the vaccine as Comirnaty in the United States within the FDA's recent approval. The FDA's approval letter states, "You may label your product with the proprietary name, Comirnaty, and market it in 2.0 mL glass vials, in packages of 25 and 195 vials."

Hmm, so there are two possibilities:

1) One Pfizer vaccine was in phase III trials and had been given to millions people under an emergency authorisation. A completely different vaccine was presented by Pfizer to the FDA, who approved it and claimed it was the same vaccine.

2) It's the same vaccine and antivaxxers are confused.

Yeah, this a tough one...

so the FDA does have a magical space-time machine in the basement to compress several years of research and administration in to 3 months?

or they just outed themselves as a rubber-stamp agency that exists to squash competition and secure the market for BigPharma?

Why do you keep invoking time machines?
did the FDA waive any steps of the process?

if not, why do vaccines normally take several years to achieve approval?

it can't be strictly time-to-market justified the cost in this unique circumstance, Pfizer or another company would have done it before with other pharmaceuticals.

If I knew someone with a working time machine, I would tend to believe them
What if the way the time machine worked was that they only were able to bring back mundane details?

"Wow you went to 1860? What was that like?"
"They eat a lot of porridge."

Because there's an extensive backlog or new drugs. The COVID vaccines were bumped up the cue.
so this is a power that the FDA has and has always been aware of, which would clearly benefit their partners in BigPharma, but they just never used it before?
