Does anybody here have even the remotest idea of how long it takes to prepare 55,000 documents for release, or how chronically under funded and under staffed the departments that process these documents are.
Let me guess you're going with 75 years because there is no conspiracy anywhere they simply do not exist?
Am I right?
You should be fired for this one.

28 reviewers isn't remotely enough people.
Imagine if you were a parent and you're child's medical records were accidentally released to the entire world because someone got sloppy and dragged and dropped the wrong file into the wrong folder.
55,000 / 28 is 1924. 1924 / 30 days in a month is 64. You're telling me you cant redact 64 pages in a day? How long does it take to redact a page? 5 minutes max? That's 5.33 hours a day.
Also, why are you so worried about keeping medical records private when you want to see my vaxx papers? You're the one asking for private medical information. That's hypocritical af.
Just stop.
Well, I have no professional involvement in this field, and no financial stack either.

OK, then tell me, how long will it take 28 people to release all of those documents. Do the math.
I just did the math and you disappeared after getting owned.
I notice that you said that you did the math, but haven't actually included the math.
Feel free to post it here.

In the UK even most of our classified stuff is released after 35 years..
Except for the really heinous # which is classified up to 100 years.
With this vaccine data-who wants to bet they release all the "clean" stuff for the first 89 years,then in year 90 they release all the stuff they should be imprisoned for.
I wonder if anyone will be around to even read it at this point.
That number isn't how long they want to keep the data under wraps for, it's how long they estimate that it will take them to release all of the hundreds of millions of pages of data at the current staffing levels.
This is a mammoth undertaking for a small and under resourced team.

Every time someone on the trial had some kind of reaction that might have been due to the vax it would have generated a whole load of documents, which would need to be searched through to ensure that no identifiable personal information was in them.

If there is no identifying or personal information how can things be followed up. At the very least there would be an individual identification number that links back to a person's history and contact information on another database, which itself might be subject to a FOIA request.
FOIA requests also exclude commercially sensitive information, which would have to be edited out as well.
Some of this data might come from outside of the US, and therefore would be subject to additional protections.
This isn't a conspiracy, it's just a long and laborious task being done by an underfunded team who is also trying to get other things done as well.

If you'd read what they did you'd notice that they only did a single document request, included weekends as being days when people were supposed ot be processing documents, and didn't actually come up with a final number.
That's not remotely "doing the math".
If you look at the Texas lawsuit, it involved over 300,000 pages.
300,000 pages, 2 minutes per page to sort, redact and catalogue each page (Some pages will take much less, others will take much more). that's 600,000 minutes or 10,000 hours. or 1,428 days presuming that you do nothing but processing documents from 9 am till 5 pm, with an hour for lunch. No toilet breaks.
If all 28 people did nothing but processing 2 documents a minute for 7 hours a day it would take them 51 days.
But of course they will be dealing with more than one FOIA request at a time, and will have other things to do such as non-Covid related FOIA requests.
Now multiply this over several hundred million pages of data in total.
