"At that rate, the 10 employees would have to work non-stop 24 hours a day, seven days a week to produce the 55,000 pages a month (and would still fall a bit short)."

The reporter suggests the FDA reassign other people to process the FOIA requests but I would prefer those people continue working on important things like reviewing the safety and efficacy of medical devices[1] and reviewing the safety of food and infant formula [2] rather than spending their time processing paperwork that will, at best, be used by anti-vaccine activists in social media disinformation.

I would be interested in seeing who this 'Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency' front group is. My guess is it's a group of charlatans looking to sell their own COVID cures similar to the doctor who produced the original study claiming vaccines cause autism (which was later retracted)
