On August 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a press release in which they announced they had approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. Their press release said the vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. Mat Staver, the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, believes this is nothing more than bait and switch.
