Yes, and it was only when the AZ vaccine (Jansen?) showed a trombosis risk that all manufacturers started to fokus on branding their vaccines to potentially distance themselves, or was this a timely coincidence?

Why couldn't they just be called Moderna/Pfizer/... Covid Vaccine?

The use of the brand names came with government approvals.

It wasn't a precondition. Compare the approved vaccines now[1] with the archive back in March 2021[2].
