Covid-19 information for FDA approval

So a group of doctors sued the FDA wanting the information that they reviewed to approve the covid-19 vaccines. The FDA asked the judge to allow them to produce 500 pages per month till all information is released once you look at how much information they have that would take approximately 75 years. The FDA typically when they approve a new drug will release 10,000 pages per month on that drug. The doctors for responsible medicine has requested that because this is a vaccine that the government is wanting all Americans to receive it should be a bigger priority than any other drugs approved recent. The judge agreed and rule that the FDA will have to produce 33 thousand pages per month compared to the 5 00 pages they wanted to produce per month this means that all information that went into the approval of the drug will be released to the public within 8 to 9 months.

This is not good news for vaccine skeptics lmao, they’re already on thin ice, and will be btfo that much harder.

FDA will have to hire some more people to redact 33,000 pages a month, but government does plenty of make-work.

@QuixoticSoul they normally release 10, 000 pages per month for most vaccines or drugs 33,000 really isn't that much not for something that they want to inject into every single man woman and child he just pull some people off of other releases. And I don't care whether it's going to be beneficial for people that are pro vaccine or ante vaccine truth shouldn't be something that's feared it should be something that's desired if you're scared of the vaccine you'll have the paperwork to show why they approved it but now if you're anti-vaccine and then you find out that they rushed it and there are possible side effects and it should have never been rushed well that's going to hurt the pro vaccine people's argument

@dale74 FDA has like 10 people redacting and releasing FOIA requests, I highly doubt their usual pace is 10k pages a month for most vaccines or drugs - or that such requests are even common.

Don’t expect a smoking gun, especially given the extremely low risk profile that we have observed in the many millions of Pfizer recipients around the world.

@QuixoticSoul well then they can reassign some of the 15000 employees they do have

@dale74 They are busy doing actual FDA stuff, and don’t have time to be screening historical documents for private patient data and proprietary information.

The agency will hire more people and get a bigger budget out of it, antivaxxers will keep whining, and life will go on.
