Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has petitioned the state's Supreme Court to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate "crimes and wrongs" related to the COVID-19 vaccines.
On December 13, Gov. DeSantis held a roundtable discussion with Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and other world-renowned physicians, researchers, and public health experts to discuss adverse events of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
During the discussion, DeSantis announced "new, aggressive actions to hold the federal government and Big Pharma accountable."
Along with calling for the investigation, other actions included establishing a Public Health Integrity Committee and "leading further surveillance into sudden deaths of individuals that received the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida, based on autopsy results."
“Health care professionals should always communicate the risks of a medical intervention to their patients in a manner that is clinically appropriate and meets standards of ethical practice. President Biden and Big Pharma have completely prevented that from happening – it is wrong,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, according to a statement released by the governor's office. “With these new actions, we will shed light on the forces that have obscured truthful communication about the COVID-19 vaccines.” Governor Ron DeSantis holds an accountability roundtable for mRNA shots. https://t.co/aiHpQWJ2g2

The governor's office explained that the Surgeon General will oversee the Public Health Integrity Committee, consisting of expert researchers "charged with assessing federal decisions, recommendations, and guidance related to public health and health care. The Surgeon General would then receive input from the committee to ensure public health policies are tailored for Florida’s communities and aligned with state priorities."
Regarding the autopsy surveillance, the governor's office said that "last month, researchers uncovered alarming facts surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine in Germany. Among autopsies performed on 25 people who died unexpectedly within 20 days after COVID-19 vaccination, four indicated deaths due to acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. This study concluded that 'myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.'"
The surveillance will "investigate this phenomenon in Florida" and "assess sudden deaths of individuals in good health who received a COVID-19 vaccine."
“This has been a tremendously difficult time for everybody, but we are near the tail end of it and it is time to start taking stock of what went wrong and make reforms so this doesn’t happen again,” Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Health Policy, Stanford University Medical School. “I think the centrally important issue that caused the problems is that we silenced qualified people from expressing their thinking, and as a result the decision making at the top of the country was absolutely abysmal. When you have censorship, the kinds of suppression of voices that is essentially a social credit system demeaning people who disagree with the CDC, you’re going to get bad decisions that don’t get checked. I am looking forward to working in coming years to reform American public health so that when there is another pandemic we do a much better job than we did during this one.”
Governor DeSantis' office also included statements from people who suffered adverse side effects from the vaccines.
“It’s a terrible crime that this vaccine has been pushed in the media as long as it has been and has prevented any news of horrible side effects in the main stream media from being communicated,” said Steven Ordonia, victim of adverse events from mRNA vaccines. “This vaccine has nearly ruined my life and severely altered it.”
