"We don't know of any side effects at this time" (even assuming that was ever said, which it wasn't; soreness, allergic reactions, fatigue, etc. were known and declared as side effects since pretty much day 1) is not a lie, even if it's discovered later that there might be some (additional) side effects. > Just so you know, the FDA wanted 55 years to comply with a FOIA request related to the vaccines, so that seems a bit suspicious to me. Almost like they have some things to hide. Or almost like going through 329,000 pages of documentation to redact confidential information (including PII) takes awhile, and that the FDA has other FOIA requests to handle on top of that.
