It’s not so black and white. You can make procedural mistakes and still have done your job properly in terms of the science of vaccine safety.
The FOIA is a fishing expedition, that’s why they asked for 330,000 documents. They don’t have any indication the FDA didn’t do their job properly and in fact the vaccine is proven to be safe, so we know that even if the FDA did skip something, it did not effect outcome or cause any harm.
And even if the FDA say, skipped past coordinating with one person they should have, or lost some trial data or made a maths error...it would then be true they did not follow their procedure or did the job with 100%, perfection, but it is also true that it could not have had any impact on ensuring the vaccine was safe. You can make multiple mistakes and still have ultimately done the core requirements of your job properly.
