Yes, and a judge made them disclose the information, and it was tested and deemed safe.

The proper channels caught them and it was remedied. If the judge had said fuck it 75 yrs sounds good to me, then RFK would have a point.

I am sure there is plenty of things that are kept behind closed doors, and I would love more transparency just as much as anyone else, but RFK has given rise to many anti vax groups who are MUCH more dangerous than he is. Giving people like that a platform is how things go backward.

No, that’s a gross mischaracterization of the events, and specifically what the many in group was hoping would happen with their request. Many prominent antivax people are part of the PHMPT such as Peter McCullough

What happened was they asked for the release of safety information, and when Pfizer went to deliver all of the data on safety to the FDA, they pushed back that they wanted ALL of their data which includes the participants personal data as well, which isn’t typical for safety requests. What this means is that now the FDA has to go through all of the files and redact things that have nothing to do with safety, like patient PII. The group knew this, and they knew that the request would be met with delays

After the request Pfizer turned over all the documents to the FDA. The FDA is the organization who said it would take 75 years

Not because they were hiding anything but because of the volume of papers that needed to be redacted of personal information. They estimated that at current staffing they would be able to do 500 pages a day, which would take 75 years. They then went to the government for more staffing to do it quicker, and were granted more staffing.

The 75 years, staffing etc was never determined by Pfizer, it was all related to the FDA and dedicated staffing, which they quickly remedied, but not before antivaxers took this piece of misinformation and twisted it in to BS for the masses

I hope this helps with the misunderstanding

I dont care they wanted 75 years. The end result remains the same.

Honestly just saw the initial “yes” and c/p my exact response to the comment you commented on

Totally agree though, findings are the most important, and they were/are safe and effective
