Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday he’s petitioning Florida’s Supreme Court to impanel a grand jury to investigate Pfizer and Moderna.
DeSantis made the announcement during a “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Accountability Roundtable” Tuesday morning, which featured Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and other experts such as Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Martin Kulldorff. The roundtable also included testimonials from individuals who said they experienced severe adverse effects after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
“In Florida, it is against the law to mislead and misrepresent, particularly when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug,” DeSantis said. “So, today, I’m announcing a petition to the Supreme Court of Florida to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate any wrongdoing with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines.”
DeSantis also announced the formation of a Public Health Integrity Committee, which will include Kulldorff, Bhattacharya, Bret Weinstein and others. He cited a lack of trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the reason to form the new body.
The governor added that he expects the grand jury petition to be approved, and that it will most likely be impaneled in the Tampa Bay area. He is aiming to bring “legal accountability” to those who “committed misconduct.”
