I have no problem with that, but if the paperwork isn’t produced, the FDA can’t enforce or use any of the process for any reason because its not transparent. T

Take as long as you want, just lose any legal power those documents give you so that you aren’t unjustly using them if there is evidence of some kind of fraud or other issues.
Take 100 years, but for those 100 years the paperwork can’t be used with any legal authority because its not transparent.
Problem solved.
- Arainach 5y agoThat is once again absurd and amounts to a denial of service attack. Reviewing documents for public disclosure, removing PII, etc. is a totally different process from reviewing their accuracy for medical purposes. It takes at least as long, probably longer.
- jcranmer 5y agoOr maybe, if you think the FDA did something wrong, you should have enough of an idea of what it did wrong that you could confirm it by asking for something less than literally everything Pfizer ever submitted to the FDA? If you're asking for that much information, that suggests that you're undertaking a fishing expedition rather than actually substantively accusing the FDA of something wrong.
- tptacek 5y agoYeah, but you're allowed to fish, even if what you're fishing for is dumb. The obligation is for the government to provide transparency, not for it to proctor investigations.
