Fauci’s FOIA follies show ‘transparency’ in Washington has always been a fraud

Republican congressional investigators are exposing brazen COVID cover-ups by the National Institutes for Health and top aides to Anthony Fauci. NY Post contributor James Bovard shares this story.

Bureaucrats have dodged complying with the Freedom of Information Act — a law meant to ensure government transparency — by concealing official records, even intentionally misspelling words to thwart discovery of damning emails and texts.

This is hardly the first pandemic-related FOIA debacle.

In 2021, the Food and Drug Administration required only 108 days to grant full approval to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine application — but claimed it would need 75 years to fulfill a FOIA request to disclose that same documentation.

A federal judge lambasted the agency in 2022 and ordered a much faster response.

But in fact, FOIA has been a farce for decades.
