From the link below:

"The FDA proposed releasing the documents on a rolling basis of 500 pages per month.

That means it would be just under 55 YEARS before the FDA released all 329,000 pages of documents it used to approve the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

Somehow, they could properly review these documents to approve a new vaccine in a matter of months, but it would take 55 years to review them to release to the public."

Just close your mind....
Media
The credibility website/media source is not determined by who owns them but rather by their track record. Everybody starts as a beginner and, through experience, becomes an authority in their field. MBFC is no different. Over the last 5+ years, we have proven to be a trusted authority on the rating of bias and the credibility of media sources. For example, MBFC is trusted by major media outlets and IFCN fact-checkers. This is evidenced by frequently being referenced by sources such as USA Today, Reuters Fact Check, Science Feedback, Washington Post, and NPR, among dozens of others. We are also frequently used as a resource in libraries, high schools, and universities across the United States.

Media Bias/Fact Check has also been used as a resource for research by the University of Michigan and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Further, we have been utilized by numerous print books such as these:

The Rise of the Alt-Right
Fake News, Propaganda, and Plain Old Lies: Find Trustworthy Information in the Digital Age
Raising Humans in a Digital World
Everyday Media Literacy An Analog Guide for Your Digital Life
Hate Groups and Extremist Organizations in America: An Encyclopedia

Finally, MBFC scored a perfect 100/100 rating by Newsguard, which rates the credibility of Media Sources. We believe it is significant that a competitor gave us this score.
About Dave Van Zandt

Dave Van Zandt is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting. Since High School (a long time ago), Dave has been interested in politics and noticed as a kid the same newspaper report in two different papers was very different in their tone. This curiosity led him to pursue a Communications Degree in college; however, like most 20-year olds he didn’t know what he wanted and changed to a Physiology major midstream. Dave has worked in the healthcare industry since graduating from college but never lost the desire to learn more about bias and its impacts.

The combination of being fascinated by politics, a keen eye to spot bias before he even knew what it was called, and an education/career in science gave Dave the tools required for understanding Media Bias and its implications. This led to a 20-year journey where Dave would read anything and everything he could find on media bias and linguistics. He also employed the scientific method in the development of a methodology to support his assessments.

After years of people telling him to launch a website, in late 2015, Mediabiasfactcheck.com was born from a combination of many different experiences and exhaustive research. For the last 5+ years, Dave and his team have refined their methods and improved their reviews to the point where the website receives consistent high traffic levels and is considered a top authority in rating media bias and credibility.

I did. Dd you read this part?

"That’s a separate question from a public records request that sought documentation of transmission of COVID-19 by unvaccinated people who are reinfected. The CDC said it does not collect that information."

Now, what have you learned?

The same Zero Hedge that Fauci and Collins freaked out about when Fauci read it?

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/fauci-emails-reveal-damage-control-scramble-after-zerohedge-spotlights-man-made-covid-19

Then when there were FOIA requests for those emails the one about the zero hedge article was redacted in it's entirety except for the headline of the email, "conspiracy gains momentum".

If zero hedge was so unimportant they sure thought it was worth their time for some reason we are not allowed to know. Why write about it if it meant nothing? More importantly, why redact the whole conversation? What is being hidden from us?

They sure let that Zero Hedge article get their undies in a bunch. They just could not ignore it. The people that redacted the whole conversation couldn't ignore it either. Why do you think that is?

@Metal-Brain
Yeah, just like TRUMP"S TAXES. What is hidden there TRUMP doesn't want us to know?

Seems to me that is a LOT more important than dissing Fauci who is a life long scientific leader.

But your goal is to screw up EVERYTHING American.

Good work, TRAITOR.

I once started a thread about Trump's taxes and how I thought he committed fraud on them. Do you remember that?

From the link below:

"There has to be total transparency so scientists outside the government know exactly what is being approved. The context in which it's being approved and why it's being approved," Biden added.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-speak-vaccine-politics-center-stage-process/story?id=73047767

BUT the FDA does NOT want scientists outside the government to know exactly what was being approved. Is Biden objecting to the FDA dragging it's feet now? Nope. The FDA says it is not urgent. Does Biden think it is urgent?
