FDA Release of Pfizer and Moderna Files: Legal Update

We had a great legal update this week.

A total of nine million pages of Pfizer and

Moderna files finally obtained. Now we've officially got all of

that data is now available to everyone.

I am joined right now by Alecia Perkins, one of the outstanding

attorneys. Alecia, thank you for joining us.

What did it take to get that data, and why did it end up taking

longer than the one year we were told it was going to take?

Back in 2021, we submitted a legal request to FDA to

disclose all of the documentation relied upon to license Pfizer's

COVID-19 vaccine. FDA then refused to expedite the

production of records, which compelled two lawsuits on behalf of

PHMPT.

FDA then claimed that it would need over 75 years to

complete

its production of the 18-and-up data specifically.

Thankfully, though, in that case, the judge called out FDA's unreasonable

delay and ordered an expedited timeline.

The court then or- ordered FDA to produce

180,000 pages per month. Ultimately, that resulted

in t- nine million pages of data publicly

released.

And we also knew that we were missing a large quantity of data,

and we

went back to the court. We showed the judge, "Look, we know

that there should

be more," which got us to that nine million pages number, which,

as of

October 1st, all has, according to FDA, been

released to the public.

Fantastic, and that means science around the world

can be done on this

data. Alecia, you're all over it, and I wanna thank you, uh, for

taking the time to celebrate. It's clear they've got a pit bull on their

heels, so

I'm gonna let you get back to it.

Thank you so much for having me, Del.

If you wanna be a part of that process, if you've seen the value of what we're

doing here, I hope you'll become a recurring donor.

We're just asking for $26 a month for 2026.
