"Wait, What?" Even Reuters Tripping Out On 55-Year Delay To Release Pfizer Vax Data

Last week attorney Aaron Siri of Injecting Freedom reported that the FDA is going to take 55 years, or until 2076, to disclose all of the data and information it relied on before approving Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine.

The 1967 FOIA law requires federal agencies to respond to information requests within 20 business days.

The time it takes to actually get the documents "Will vary depending on the complexity of the request and any backlog of requests already pending at the agency," according to the government's central FOIA website.

The records must be reviewed to redact "Confidential business and trade secret information of Pfizer or BioNTech and personal privacy information of patients who participated in clinical trials," wrote DOJ lawyers in a joint status report filed Monday.

The article explains how the FDA proposed releasing 500 pages per month on a rolling basis - informing the court that they only have 10 employees in the branch that would handle the review, and are currently processing around 400 other FOIA requests.

The plaintiffs, on the other hand, point out that the FDA has 18,000 employees and a budget of $6 billion - and "Has itself said that there is nothing more important than the licensure of this vaccine and being transparent about this vaccine."

"[T]here was a total of 42,086 case reports containing 158,893 events".... It's now clear why the FDA won't *fully release* these documents for 55 YEARS.
