Pfizer-BioNTech has been approved in the EU since December 2020. Fully approved that is, not experimental, not emergency use.

That it's still on emergency use in the US is puzzling. But as anyone who's been through a formal approvals process knows, these things can drag out forever. Approving bodies are all about CYA, they just don't like to commit to anything being satisfactory.

Not true. It has conditional marketing authorization.

Also it is in pharma's interest to have this as long as possible. They like their immunity from prosecution.
