Court Orders FDA to Release Hidden Pfizer Vaccine Trial Documents

Dec 6, 2024, 11:17 PM

A U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman has ordered the FDA to release an additional million pages of documents from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trials. This decision comes after the FDA attempted to keep these documents hidden from the public for over 75 years. The court's ruling is seen as a significant victory for transparency, following a lawsuit against the FDA. The documents are expected to shed light on the authorization process of the vaccines, which has been a point of contention and public interest.
