You gotta realize that these gov agencies give bad faith arguments to say that they can't release records routinely. These government agencies know full fucking well that these records will be responsive to FOIA and yet they still don't make efforts to make it accessible and releasable to the public. Same goes to Pfizer. It's our responsibility as a public to make sure important information like this isn't being hidden. Their litigation is aggressive, there's no doubt there. But does that mean the information isn't any less important? Back when the pandemic started, a lot of FOIA nerds were hesitant to submit FOIAs because of the issues around quarantine, WFH etc. At the end though, transparency is such a fundamentally important part of our understanding of our own governance that it's important that we don't hold back on important issues like this. It doesn't even really matter too much if the organization won't use the docs themselves. Their litigation is making it available to the public. If they're not going to look through them, someone will.
