In January 2022 a federal district court ordered the FDA to release Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine clinical-trial documents at a pace far faster than the FDA had proposed (75 years vs the court-ordered monthly schedule). Social-media commentary framed the documents as proving concealed mass harm. In reality, the documents are routine pharmacovigilance data — adverse-event tables compiled because post-market safety surveillance is legally required. The "75 years to hide it" framing misrepresents standard FOIA processing timelines; the underlying documents are real and are publicly available.
