> How long would it take a team of 10 people to even read 329,000 pages of documents in addition to their current workload, let alone review those documents, which likely would frequently require back and forth consultations with others to do properly (e.g. the legal department or Pfizer's people)? How likely is is that they'll get money appropriated to beef up staffing levels of their FOIA team to get this done much more quickly?
Why on earth is there even a potentiality of anything __compromising__ in there to even have to fucking review it?
Everything FDA should be presumed public. Like. Everything.
Then no one will sign up for trials because that would mean all their personal information and medical history will become public which could result in them not getting hired.
Then filter out PHI/PII on ingress, not on egress. This isn't a problem that can't be solved.
Don't accept documents that don't have these properly separated out. Don't accept documents that put non PII data in the "PII Pile".
If a company keeps fucking it up, fine them for all the extra work they've made FDA do and eventually drop trust in them and don't accept anything from them. Essentially kill the company.
FDA's data should not be private/for fee. Nor should any of the articles that the FDA uses to make its decisions.
