If you've ever worked with scientists, they can be quirky people. This guy is probably a flamer with a My Little Pony fetish, and his female colleagues thought it was cute, so the name stuck. It's not a formal name, it's just an in-house name for this guy.
They're trying to humanize Pfizer and make them sound relatable all through this article. They started with the woman with the frazzled red hair, etc. It's a puff piece by a medical news outlet that normally does better, but one which has also toed the politically acceptable line on COVID FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and preference for Pfizer vaccines as the one-stop solution. I've lost a lot of respect for them over the past 18 months, frankly.
That is a great example of critical thinking, friend.
For how relatively small the community is compared to some others, some of the perspectives I read on here are among the most well-thought out I've come across.
