Congressman Introduces Bill to Force FDA to Release Pfizer Documents Within 100 Days, Instead of 55 Years | CHD
U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) on Thursday introduced legislation that would require the FDA to release, within 100 days, all records of information submitted to the agency regarding the Emergency Use Authorization of, or licensing of all Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines.
The legislation stems from the FDA’s appeal to delay — by up to 55 years — the release of documents requested in August, under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).
PHMPT, a group of more than 30 scientists, medical professionals, international public health professionals and journalists, asked the FDA for “all data and information for the Pfizer vaccine,” including safety and effectiveness data, adverse reaction reports and a list of active and inactive ingredients.
In September, PHMPT sued the FDA, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, for failing to respond to the FOIA request.
Norman called the FDA’s request to delay release of the documents “the beginning of a very bad joke.”
In a statement, Norman said:
“The FDA’s only priority should be the health and safety of consumers. The agency has compromised its integrity by delaying information that belongs to the public. Since the Biden administration is hell-bent on forcing these vaccine mandates on us, the public has every right to know how this vaccine was approved, especially in such a short amount of time.
“
After all, the FDA managed to consider all 329,000 pages of data and grant emergency approval of the Pfizer vaccine within just 108 days. So it’s hard to rationalize why it now needs 55 years to fully release that information to the public.”
The FDA asked to be allowed to provide 500 pages a month, which would mean 658 months — or just under 55 years — for the full release.
Aaron Siri, one of the lawyers representing PHMPT, said the lawsuit was filed in September after the FDA “produced nothing” from the August FOIA request.
Siri wrote on his Injecting Freedom Substack page:
“
So, let’s get this straight. The federal government shields Pfizer from liability.
Gives it billions of dollars.
Makes Americans take its product.
But won’t let you see the data supporting its product’s safety and efficacy. Who does the government work for?Read more CHD
