ORLANDO, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday vowed to hold accountable people in Florida who committed “wrongdoing” in relation to COVID-19 vaccines, announcing he plans to ask the Supreme Court of Florida to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate.
“That will come with legal processes, that we’ll be able to get more information and to bring legal accountability for those who committed misconduct,” DeSantis said of potential results of the investigations.
DeSantis’ announcement came after a virtual hour-and-a-half roundtable where scientists, people with professed vaccine-related injuries and medical professionals joined him and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo in making claims against COVID-19 Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and their approval process.
