Florida High Court OKs Grand Jury Probe of COVID-19 Vaccines

A grand jury will be convened by the Florida Supreme Court at Republican Gov. The court confirmed Thursday that Ron DeSantis requested to investigate any wrongdoing in relation to COVID-19 vaccines.

This month, the Republican governor of Texas, often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 2024 called for an investigation. He said it was partly to get more information from pharmaceutical firms about vaccines and possible side effects.

The vaccine studies funded by pharmaceutical companies who developed COVID-19 vaccines were published in peer-reviewed journals like the New England Journal of Medicine. Data on safety and effectiveness of shots was reviewed by government panels before approval.

DeSantis requested that the pharmaceutical industry be informed that they had a financial interest creating an environment in which people believed that the coronavirus vaccine would prevent them from spreading it to others.

The Rubber Meets the Road

To all of the GOP Senators and Members of Congress: This is where the rubber meets the road. They campaigned saying they stood with Trump and would help pass his agenda. The time for proving those words have meaning is now. Join the Republican Liberty Caucus in demanding Congress put their words into action and implement Trump’s agenda… or we’ll find someone else who will.

Grand juries can be formed in states and consist of 18 members. They can investigate criminal activity, issue indictments, and also look at systemic issues in Florida. Recent panels dealt with school safety and immigration.

The grand jury will meet once a year.
