Florida Supreme Court Approves DeSantis’s Request for Grand Jury to Investigate Vaccines

The Florida Supreme Court has approved governor Ron DeSantis’s request to convene a grand jury to investigate “wrongdoings” associated with coronavirus vaccines.

The request was approved by five of the six justices who participated in the Thursday ruling, according to a report from the USA Today Network – Florida. DeSantis appointed a majority of the justices on the seven-member court.

DeSantis first announced his intention to file the petition on December 13, during a live-streamed roundtable discussion about vaccine accountability that he held with the state’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo.

“I think people want the truth that I think people want accountability,” DeSantis said at the time. “You need to have a thorough investigation into what’s happened with the shots.”
