Florida Grand Jury’s COVID-19 Vaccine Probe Ends with Shocking Conclusion – No Criminal Evidence Found

The report, which was unsealed on Tuesday, found no evidence of criminal behavior by a statewide grand jury that was assembled at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ request to look into “any and all wrongdoing” related to COVID-19 immunizations. Finding no indictable criminal activity does not imply that we did not discover any issues. In contrast, there are significant and grave problems with the U.S. safety surveillance and vaccine development processes,” the grand jury stated in its final findings. The grand jury issued a report with policy suggestions in response to its findings, such as prohibiting pharmaceutical medication ads and promoting greater transparency in clinical trials.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 vaccinations were the subject of thorough safety evaluations, and even after FDA clearance, the doses are constantly being watched to make sure they still adhere to government safety and effectiveness requirements. According to public health professionals and federal officials, the vaccines are effective in preventing major illness, hospitalization, and death, and they have been shown to be extremely safe with only a few serious side effects.

Before running for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2022, DeSantis requested the probe. At the time, he was trying to raise his national profile by opposing mask regulations and pandemic lockdowns. DeSantis claimed at the time that the investigation would “bring legal accountability to those who committed misconduct” and might aid in obtaining additional details from pharmaceutical companies regarding the vaccines and their adverse effects. An Associated Press request for comment on Tuesday was not immediately answered by a governor’s spokesperson.

In addition to investigating criminal behavior and issuing charges, statewide grand juries, which typically consist of 18 members, can also look at Florida’s systemic issues and offer solutions. Other panels have addressed school safety and immigration in recent years.
