They're calling it "Comirnaty"

This shit is right out of the USSR. For memeable nicknames I suggest Comorbidity.

Read up what the specialists are saying about whether it's effective for those who are immunocompromised.

"There is no data, but..."

It takes a certain level of foolishness or fatalism to allow something in your system where the first thing out of every medical specialist's mouth regarding the immunocompromised is "there is no data, but..."

Not one syllable of that sounds Japanese, so that would be surprising to me.

What Japanese have you ever seen where a hard K sound is spelled with a C? Let alone where "ko" is followed with "meer"? Even if you take some big liberties with Romanji that isn't how their language works.

It doesn't matter how it's spelled in English

That is the entire point. That spelled in English the way it is, it suggests that the name does not originate from Japan.

The entire conversation is discussing where this bizarre name originated, and you decided to try and nitpick about a hard C that for the most part does not exist in their language. You even said it yourself, they spell that sound with a K when translated into English.

Coronavirus does actually mostly fit with Japanese pronunciations of singular letter consonant-vowel pairings, with a dropped vowel on words ending with "s(u)". Ko-Ro-Na-Vi-Ru-Su and Ko-Ro-Na-Va-I-Ru-Su both fit japanese phonetics.

It's not like you're trying to say "Strength" or something which simply does not map to Japanese at all.

They do not drop the vowel after "r" sounds. In fact, they're not much fans of "r" sounds in general, but exceptions exist there. But they don't drop the vowel. Find one word that does, that ORIGINATES in Japan. Even words outside Japan, they bastardize significantly in order to render them pronouncible.

Ko-Mi-Lu-Na-Ti =/= Comirnaty. It can be safely said the word origin is not Japanese in nature. Even trying to ape English sounds, they wouldn't pick a shortened R/L.

Rolls right off the tongue. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some satanic power word.

It's about the Pfizer vaccine.

You could have just asked nicely and I'm sure someone would have gladly explained it all for you.

I shouldn't have to ask. If he's gonna make a thread it's on him to provide that info rather than assume everyone knows what he's blathering on about.

It was always called Comirnaty in my country, right from the start. BioNTech / Pfizer is usually included in brackets or in the detailed description.

Finland. It was already called Comirnaty before vaccinations began here at the end of December 2020.
