FDA Ordered to Produce 180,000 Pages of COVID Vaccine Data on Adolescents Per Month

A federal judge on May 9 ordered the FDA to produce all data it relied on in the licensure of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine and Pfizer’s vaccine for 12-to-15-year-olds.

Over the past few years, I’ve written and submitted numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to U.S. regulatory agencies to obtain the data withheld from us on COVID-19 vaccines and suppressed treatments.

What should be a very easy process has always been ridiculously tedious. For example, I filed a FOIA request with the National Institutes of Health over a year ago for studies and communications related to the agency’s position on ivermectin. After significantly narrowing my request at their suggestion in hopes of obtaining more timely data, I was told I could expect the documents by July 2022. But, alas’ it is May 2023 — more than a year after my request was submitted, and I’ve received nothing.

Of course, my FOIA requests were filed when I was on the legal staff at Children’s Health Defense, so it’s not my job to see those requests through, but suffice it to say that every request I submitted was set up for a lawsuit because one is safe to assume our current regulatory agencies are not going to comply with their most basic obligation (transparency).

Enter the latest FOIA request to see a successful day in court. Once again, Aaron Siri led the charge because the man knows what he’s doing.

A federal judge on May 9 ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to produce all data it relied on in the licensure of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine and Pfizer’s vaccine for 12-to-15-year-olds at an average rate of at least 180,000 pages per month.

The Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT) brought the lawsuit on behalf of the parents of Maddie de Garay, a young girl who suffered severe injuries during Pfizer’s clinical trial for 12 to 15-year-olds that left her paralyzed, unable to eat, with seizures and no bladder control. The pharmaceutical giant and U.S. regulatory agencies have ignored her extensive injuries.

Of course, the FDA, being entirely incompetent and unwilling to be transparent with the American people, wanted to release the data at a rate of 1,000 to 16,000 pages per month over 23.5 years. They’re probably hoping that by the time the data comes out, their corruption and health recommendations based on shoddy science will long be forgotten.

In a document uploaded to his Substack, attorney Aaron Siri made his case for timely production and demanded all documents be produced by mid-2025. Judge Mark Pittman subsequently ordered the agency to produce all data by June 31, 2025, at a rate of at least 180,000 pages per month, stating, “Democracy dies behind closed doors.”

This is the second lawsuit brought against the FDA by PHMPT to produce data the agency relied upon in approving COVID-19 vaccines. The FDA, in January 2022, was ordered by the same judge to produce all data on Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for individuals 16 years and older at a rate of 55,000 pages per month—as opposed to the 75 years requested by the FDA to produce documents.

The documents turned over so far have been made available on PHMPT’s website and show the American people were lied to about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

Considering the FDA asked for 75 years and 23 years, respectively, to produce requested documents, one can only wonder how the agency’s safety advisors could get through millions of documents in mere days and what their decisions were genuinely based on . . . because it certainly wasn’t the data.
