On Tuesday, a Florida grand jury released its final report on potential “criminal or wrongful activity” regarding the creation and promotion of the Covid jabs.
Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with looking into whether individuals and entities, “including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” possibly violated state law related to the development, clinical testing, and marketing of the mRNA shots. The jury previously released interim reports in February and May 2024, respectively, which undercut much of the pseudo-science pushed by government “experts” on subjects such as masking, lockdowns, and natural immunity.
Following its investigation, the grand jury ultimately declined to charge any individual or entity in the case after the jurors “did not find any statute that [they] believed would be an appropriate vehicle for a criminal indictment based on the facts” in its final report. The grand jury did, however, note that such a conclusion does not absolve entities of engaging in unethical behavior.
“We want to be abundantly clear that this does not mean we believe the actions of these sponsors were always appropriate, or that the statements they made turned out to be factually correct,” the report reads. “It just means that those actions and statements are not sufficient bases to support criminal prosecutions.”
Despite the lack of criminal charges, the jury did unearth numerous major findings in its report that shine a light on deceptive behavior and actions surrounding the development and promotion of the Covid shots. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the analysis.
1. Premature Emergency Approval
While understanding the seriousness Covid posed to vulnerable populations (such as the elderly) and the desire to quickly develop medical interventions to save lives, the grand jury disagreed with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) assessment that the Covid “emergency” “applied to everyone.” Based upon its assessment of the flagship trial data available at the time, the jury opined that the “Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA) granted to the Pfizer and Moderna Covid shots “should only have been granted as to the elderly and comorbid populations most at risk from SARS-Co V-2 complications.”
“A broader authorization might have been appropriate had the flagship trials demonstrated efficacy against transmission, but the FDA did not require them to be designed that way, and neither Moderna nor Pfizer took it upon themselves to build transmission efficacy into their protocols,” the report reads.
2. Disservice to Pregnant Women
The jury found an alarming lack of care given to conducting secure flagship trials and research on the Covid shots’ impact on pregnant women. Specifically, the jurors disclosed their belief that expectant mothers were not “well-served by the United States public health apparatus” and that such “troubling issues” were not “properly and meaningfully disclosed and discussed over the last four years.”
“Troubling results that occurred in newly pregnant women in the flagship clinical trials were not contemporaneously disclosed by the FDA, Pfizer or Moderna, nor do they appear to have been meaningfully investigated beyond allowing pregnant women to serve as human guinea pigs based on limited observational data that did not address infant health risks, then using statistically unreliable safety databases like [the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] to ‘enthusiastically recommend vaccination’ to this vulnerable group,” the report reads.

3. Failure to Complete Safety Studies
As noted by the jury, the FDA provided “Full Approval” letters to Pfizer and Moderna, granting complete market access for their respective Covid shots. In order to keep their licenses, both companies were required to conduct a series of “interventional and observational” studies monitoring the “safety and effectiveness” of the jabs after they were released to market.
Despite having received these mandates years ago (Pfizer in August 2021 and Moderna in January 2022), the grand jury found that both companies have failed to complete several of the required studies by deadline and received timeline extensions from federal administrators.
“These missed deadlines do not give us confidence,” the grand jury report reads. “Each one represents an opportunity for the FDA and the public to be better informed about the safety of these products that cost billions of taxpayer dollars to develop, manufacture and administer. We recognize that conducting these trials and studies can be challenging work, but we think the money Pfizer and Moderna made [from their Covid shots] should be more than enough to fund and timely administer these tasks as they have been directed.”
4. Lack of Info on Safety Signals
As described in the report, pharmaceutical companies and public health agencies possess postmarketing surveillance databases that collect reports of potential side effects experienced by those who receive their approved vaccines. According to the analysis, after a “safety signal” is “identified,” the former entities will conduct research using available data and research to determine the validity of the safety signal. If such signals are valid, the companies share their data with the FDA to determine whether it is “confirmed” or “refuted.”
According to the report, “If a signal is ‘confirmed,’ the FDA — in conjunction with the [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] — must then decide what kind of response is warranted,” with some signals requiring “no more than a published communication or warning about potential risks,” and others requiring “updates to their physician or patient information.”
The grand jury noted that while Moderna confirmed five safety signals regarding its Covid shot, “the public likely does not know … that Moderna investigated a total of 65 safety signals, ‘refuting’ 60 of them in consultation with the FDA.” A Pfizer representative interviewed by the jury said the company investigated “[a]bout 100 signals” for its shot, which resulted in “very, very few” being confirmed.
When pressed on if the company made this information available to the public, a Moderna representative told the jury, “No, it’s irrelevant for them,” and claimed, “the reason is that, these are issues that are unknown … [a]nd if we were to advise the public of every theoretical safety concern, I think that would be a disservice to the public.”
“We emphatically disagree,” the jury wrote. “In fact, we believe it perfectly illustrates the larger paternalistic attitude on the part of both government health agencies and the pharmaceutical industry towards the public. … Hiding the details, methodology and results of scores of safety investigations from public view does not build public confidence; it undermines it.”
5. Myocarditis Cover-Up
While maintaining that Vaccine-Related Myocarditis and Pericarditis (VRMP) events are “very rare,” the grand jury disclosed significant findings about such incidents, including the apparent withholding of such information from the American public.
While reports of a potential myocarditis signal associated with the Covid shots first began to emerge in Israel in February 2021, the jurors found that “a less-publicized safety signal for myocarditis” regarding the Pfizer and Moderna jabs “appeared after the United States military began vaccinating its servicemembers.” According to the jury, this information “was not made public until after the VRMP safety signal was confirmed on June 23, 2021” — despite “representatives from Pfizer and Moderna [confirming to the] Grand Jury that several government agencies, including the DOD, were investigating it well before then.”
The grand jury highlighted remarks by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, who when asked during an April 27, 2021, interview about reports of myocarditis among service members and a possible connection to the Covid shots, claimed, “We have not seen a signal.”
The jury noted that despite the director’s statement, “contemporaneous communications between top CDC officials suggest [the CDC], along with the FDA, Pfizer, Moderna and the DOD were all actively investigating the VRMP safety signal right around the time Director Walensky was saying CDC had not seen one.”
The report later acknowledges that, “For a sizeable group of healthy young men, there is credible evidence that the risk of side effects from second doses [Pfizer] or [Moderna] always outweighed their benefits, even at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
6. Government Censorship
The grand jury devoted attention to the mass censorship deployed by the federal government and Big Tech against Americans who disagreed with its preferred narrative on Covid. While characterizing the scheme as a “concerted effort … to seek the suppression of opinions not in line with messages they wanted to amplify,” the judicial body noted how these government figures “exercised considerable soft power … by attempting to control vaccine-related narratives on social media websites, asking for specific posts or authors to be removed altogether, or even ‘blacklisted’ … on the grounds that they contained ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation.’
The jury further noted how pharmaceutical companies exercised “indirect” influence in shaping the public discourse on Covid shots “by selectively releasing efficacy and safety data regarding their products,” which is then regurgitated by researchers, journalists, and medical organizations in their writings.
7. Deceptive Advertising
Moderna and Pfizer also deployed deceptive “unbranded” advertising tactics when marketing their products to the public, according to the report.
The grand jury noted how pharmaceutical companies are “required to disclose both the brand and generic names of their pharmaceuticals, their ingredients and a ‘major statement’ about side effects and contraindications associated with their products.” However, these mandates are “only applied to advertisements that promoted the vaccines, not to advertisements that promoted vaccination generally.”
“If the advertisement did not mention the branded drug by name … the FDA did not enforce its marketing limitations. … After all, it was not the product that was being advertised, just the act of getting vaccinated,” the report reads. “While this may be a fictional and outright silly distinction, it has real consequences, allowing the companies to avoid communicating the risk of their products while simultaneously reminding consumers of their existence and even extolling their benefits.”
8. Risks vs. Benefits
While the grand jury acknowledged that the Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer and Moderna shots was reasonable at the time given the early data from the flagship trials and other “limited information” available, it subsequently noted that “circumstances have changed” in the years since that call into question their necessity. Specifically, the panel detailed how the virus “infects and causes COVID-19 disease at a much lower rate than it used to” and produces “fewer hospitalizations and deaths.”
Jurors also recognized that most people have already been infected and recovered Covid.
“The issue in 2024 is that the COVID-19 vaccines may not be different enough. The SARS Co V-2 virus still mutates to new variants on a frequent basis,” report reads. “Even with the extra speed derived from the FDA’s willingness to accept immunogenicity results rather than clinical endpoints, new formulations of [Pfizer and Moderna’s Covid shots] regularly lag more than a generation behind the latest variants by the time they reach consumers, meaning that they provide less protection from SARS Co V-2 risks, and that whatever protection they do provide is likely to wane quickly.”
“We no longer have a clear idea of which demographic groups are still deriving a meaningful benefit from [Pfizer] and [Moderna] and whether that benefit is worthwhile in the context of their side effect profiles,” it added.
Grand Jury Recommendations
Despite declining to file indictments against any individual or entity, the grand jury did offer several recommendations for state and federal officials to take to ensure greater accountability in the vaccine-approval process.
Among those at the federal level include suggestions that the FDA “reinstate its pre-1997 ban on the direct-to-consumer advertising of therapeutics,” the federal government to institute policies “impeding the ‘revolving door’ of private-sector employees and lobbyists in and out” of health agencies, and the implementation of rules requiring Big Pharma companies to “publish the anonymized individual patient data — with all their attendant safety, efficacy and immunogenicity information — shortly after [the] granting of any FDA license.”
At the state level, the jury recommended Florida lawmakers make it a crime for failure to comply with a statewide grand jury subpoena, allow statewide grand juries to indict and the Office of Statewide Prosecution to prosecute individuals who commit perjury while testifying before the jury, and provide for a “pre-swearing discovery period” for any statewide grand jury.
Thank you Governor DeSantis for looking into this.
Bookmarked.
BTTT
Big Pharma was not driving the bus. Government was driving the bus. And governments at all levels across the country, and many around the world, were engaged in a performative panic. Their own overhyping was part of the problem. The media fanned the flames. Social media got bizarre, with rational voices being suppressed by Big Tech.
Big Pharma was perfectly willing to dance to the tune called by thei regulators, but Big Pharma shouldn’t become the great scapegoat.
... Some people died...
The elephant in the room is human intervention that tweaked a bat virus. How ethical is that? How ethical is the lab leak cover up and pharm industry censorship that promotes the zoonotic evolution spiel? When are the trials for crimes against humanity.
“We were only trying better to understand how these viruses develop and transmit.” “We’re only trying to introduce gene therapies because they will be the best thing since Wonder Bread.”
Someone needs to be headed to prison for all of this.
I nominate Fauci.
You make good points, but the entanglement between big pharma and goverment are so synergistic as to make them a singular menace that needs rounding up.
Typical Punt!
We are going to need a LOT of rope to deal with this collection of liars and crooks.
A Lot of rope! It looks to me like we ALL know someone murdered by these poisonous “vaccines”.
did the florida grand jury use jim comey as their spokesman for explaining why not criminal charges?
Ping
what was the make up of the Grand Jury ?
were they doctors, scientists, biostatistics professionals ?
or just a random collection of people ?
(not that I disagree with some of the conclusions)

It’s the unholy alliance of gov and big pharma. It’s “regulatory capture” where big pharma owns their government regulators.
Well, pretty sure big pharma is safe since it was an EUA release and people could choose to take it or not. Lucky we weren’t in a position to have to make the wrong choice.
🚫😷💉💊🐂💨💩
So no fraud. No lying. No problem firing doctors who resisted. No problem with the lying. Not an issue demonizing and terrorizing those who tried to obtain and use Ivermectin, so-called “horse paste.”
DeSantis tried, but this is just going to be swept under the rug. Old news now.
I don’t see how they could not file an indictment. Cover-up on deaths? If there was a cover-up, then there was human intervention. it just didn’t happen.
MRNA vaccines kill and disable.
