Is it true: Pfizer Documents Court Release: "FDA Was Hiding Vaccine Data"?
Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.
The court order is real, the documents are real, and the FDA's proposed 75-year release timeline was rightly challenged and overturned. The adverse-event tables circulated on social media are routine pharmacovigilance data legally required for all authorized medications; they do not represent concealed evidence of mass harm.
