I could understand why a military or otherwise defense-oriented bureaucracy would redact information in a FOIA response…there are cases where that makes good sense.
But the NIH? National Institute of Health? Hell no. This is a civilian services-oriented bureaucracy and has no legal standing to redact anything anymore than the FDA or FTC does.
This needs to be taken to fucking court.
