Yes! Science is a debate and that debate is best played out on Facebook and Twitter by a bunch of people who know almost nothing about the topic. Surely reality will come out on top that way.

Inferiority complex much?
Why do you find it hard to believe that there are actually people on this planet who have studied and researched diseases like this their entire lives and therefore know more about it than you do?
Kooks like you seem to believe there are no such things as experts, and that you know everything else that everyone else in the world knows.
Your post made a good bit of sense until you revealed your ignorance by commenting on Long COVID. Quite a few people who are hospitalized get it. COVID can really mess up people's lungs. I know a couple of previously healthy people who can't walk more than a few dozen meters without getting winded. They hate it and they're not faking it.
His actual objection wasn't to the podcast. It was to public airing of wrong kinds of facts, also known as falsehoods.
"I know that these people are wrong, they should shut up so they do not cause a real contagion".
Yes, because as we all know, there is only one FOIA request at a time.
does not have any other important work to do
Well placed sarcasm.
The FDA is amazingly overwhelmed right now. They are reviewing data from other COVID vaccines, data from other COVID vaccine studies for other age groups, reviewing literally hundreds of COVID diagnostic tests including the OTCs. And that is on top of the typical workload of regulating a large fraction of the US economy https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-basics/fact-sheet-fda-glance.
Additionally the FDA is having a hard time hiring and keeping qualified employees like all other employers currently.
10 more antenna-like objects on every apartment building? Yes, that would throw people off. And when that quarter of the population finds that they too can have unfettered internet access? Sure, they'll report everything (/sarcasm). Any kind of free communication is a threat to dictatorships.
Mr. Dollar Ton, I am pretty sure that you are part of the Chinese government's propaganda arm based on all your posting here.
You don't think it will be subsidized by the US of A just like the VoA? I have my bets that it will.
I'm sure some armchair engineers using an online tool will be able to tell us all expertly what satellites should be moved where.
The economy is not a zero-sum game. For one person to be rich does not require another person to be poor.
This is the classic libertarian argument, that any person can work hard and be wealthy and successful without affecting others. If you read John Locke, he repeatedly states how any man can move to North America, claim some land and make himself a successful farmer/miner/whatever.
However none of that is any longer true. There is no useful land or property that I can just take without taking it away from someone else and making that person poorer. We can not have ultrawealthy people without making other people poor.
These vaccines are not version "1.0" or even "2.0". They are the result of many iterations of vaccine research by the manufacturers, then they successfully passed phase I, II, and III regulatory trials. These vaccines are far, far, far safer than the diseases that they prevent.
You would think that nuthobs like this would figure this out for themselves after seeing hundreds of people dying every day from COVID in the news and nobody dying from the vaccines. My assumption is that fear-mongering poster is a Russian.
The poster above is very knowledgeable. You (Canberra1) are not.
Laws passed by Congress state that the FDA is not allowed to release much of the confidential and proprietary information that drug companies give to the FDA for review. Just because the FDA gets it, does not mean that you do.
Laws passed by Congress also state that the FDA is not allowed to release most patient data, just as hospitals and your doctor is not allowed to release that information.
And no, this is the 21st century, you can't just "run a black marker over names" and have everything be OK.
The people who have filed this FOIA request know full well that the FDA can't release all this data. But that is not what they really want anyway. What they really want is for the FDA to resist releasing this data (which they are legally required to do), so anti-science anti-vax nut bags can make a news story about it so that people like you become suspicious of the FDA, real science, and vaccines.
And you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
A brief, insightful first post.
Search engines have gotten worse when it comes to searching for Linux solutions. Back in the late 90s, I could type in a vague computer related search term, such as "filesystem corrupt", and get almost exclusively Linux-based hits. There would even be X-windows hits if you searched for "windows" problems. Back then only real nerds were on the internet. But everyone started using the internet, and all the top hits became M$ Windows based.
1. Install Steam from software manager.
2. Log into Steam.
3. Play games.
This is really hard, I admit.
We have a equal opportunity Calculus class -- it's fully integrated.
