Wait what? FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data
Freedom of Information Act requests are rarely speedy, but when a group of scientists asked the federal government to share the data it relied upon in licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, the response went beyond typical bureaucratic foot-dragging.www.reuters.com

That didnt take long...New York officials confirm 5 cases of omicron Covid variant in NYC metro area
KEY POINTS
New York officials have confirmed five cases of the omicron Covid-19 variant in the New York City metropolitan area, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced late Thursday, hours after cases were detected in Minnesota and Colorado.
- One omicron case was discovered in Long Island and four in the boroughs that make up New York City: two in Queens, one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan.
- New York City Health Commissioner David Chokshi said the cases indicated that omicron was spreading throughout the community, not just in travelers.
- Gov. Hochul assured residents that the discovery of omicron cases in New York doesn’t mean she will call for widespread lockdowns.
One case was discovered in Suffolk County on Long Island and four in three of the boroughs that make up New York City: two in Queens, one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan, she said at a press briefing. Minnesota health authorities confirmed the second U.S. case of the omicron Covid variant earlier Thursday, in a resident who recently returned from New York City.
New York City Health Commissioner David Chokshi said the cases indicate there was community spread, adding that the state is sequencing about 15% of all Covid tests, allowing them to “pick up these trends over time.”
“This is not just people who are traveling to Southern Africa or to other parts of the world where omicron has already been identified,” he said.
Hochul assured residents that the discovery of omicron cases in New York doesn’t mean she will call for the same kind of widespread lockdowns at the beginning of the pandemic that shuttered businesses and put millions of New Yorkers out of work.
“We are in a far better place, that people are informed. There’s not a panic,” she said Thursday night. “It is still a public health crisis, but does not have to be a crisis that leads to shutdown.”
The first confirmed U.S. case of the heavily mutated strain was detected in California in a resident who had just returned to San Francisco from South Africa, which first reported the strain to the World Health Organization about a week ago. The Colorado case was also confirmed in a traveler who had just returned from Southern Africa.
The California, Minnesota and Colorado cases were all diagnosed in fully vaccinated people who had mild cases. Hochul said the Suffolk County case is in a 67-year-old woman who had at least one vaccine shot and just returned from South Africa with mild symptoms. The case in New York City is in another suspected traveler, she said. Officials didn’t yet have any details on the cases in Queens and Brooklyn, but she said they would share them as soon as they were available.
Health officials in the U.S. and around the world are concerned that omicron is more transmissible and may evade the protection provided by currently available vaccines to some degree. The variant has some 50 mutations, more than 30 of which are on the spike protein that the virus uses to attach to human cells.

It's proven time and time again money comes first, then politics, then everything else. Watch how if vaccines don't work the approach will be different. Guarantee people will be encouraged to push through. That this is life going forward. That we must focus on the vulnerable and not stop our lives.And they just had the Thanksgiving Day parade.
And they still plan NYE in Times Square.
This is very strange
