Gov. Ron DeSantis Requests Grand Jury Impaneled Over COVID mRNA Vaccines

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is launching a probe into the Covid vaccines to investigate ‘any and all wrongdoing’ in regards to the shots.

This announcement comes as new research finds the shots likely prevented 3million deaths during the pandemic.

The Governor, who has long been a critic of the shots, is joining the state’s Supreme Court to launch a grand jury investigation into the vaccines, how they were used in Florida and nay long-term harms that could have come as a result.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Sunshine state’s surgeon general, was featured on a roundtable where the announcement was made as well, where he said the ‘risk is much higher [with the Covid vaccines]… not in the same ballpark as other vaccines].

Gov DeSantis also announced that Florida is creating a Public Health Integrity Committee, which may operate as a replacement for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC and Gov DeSantis have repeatedly clashed during the pandemic over masks, vaccines, and about the reopening of cruise liners in the state.

The event follows previous announcements by the governor about holding COVID vaccine manufacturers “accountable” for the side effects of the vaccines.

When announcing the accountability initiative on Dec. 9, DeSantis cited several studies showing an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in adolescents and young male patients after receiving the bivalent, mRNA vaccines for COVID-19.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has previously acknowledged the risks of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, though noted that the cases were rarely reported.

State officials said at various junctures in the past that their own study of myocarditis risks and diagnoses after COVID vaccination was up as much as 86% for patients 18 to 39 years old who received the mRNA vaccines.

Florida Department of Health guidance currently recommends against vaccination for healthy children.

Here is the entire roundtable discussion.
