Pfizer's Vaccine Ingredients Remain the Same, Despite Name Change

Commotion related to Cormirnaty, the new official name for Pfizer’s vaccine, began immediately after the Food and Drug Administration gave the Pfizer and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine full approval on Aug. 23. Some social media users appeared to be suspicious of the update, and others mocked it. Robert F. Kennedy, a notable anti-vaccine advocate, called the name change a “bait and switch” tactic by the Food and Drug Administration, a claim that spread across Twitter.
