TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The 22nd Statewide Grand Jury on Friday released its first interim report a little more than a year after Gov. Ron DeSantis petitioned its formation.

While the governor was primely targeting COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and their advertisement of vaccine efficacy, the first report drew conclusions mainly on lockdowns and masks, and the grand jury said the issue of the vaccines was far more nuanced and could not be answered in a “vacuum.”

It also said that the Biden administration did not cooperate with efforts to obtain testimony from officials representing agencies like the CDC, FDA and U.S. Army.

MAsk mandates and inniculation with experimanta, drugs were used for politcal control into a fascist administration from the get go by Biden and Blue state givernors ( WHitmer), in such a way that an exempt elite was defined.

If business lock downs are ever mandated again, this nation will not survive the tyranny.People will ignore them.Sweden proved itself to be one of few truly free nations.THe USA was buggered by the left.

THe dirty bastid left should be ashamed of its various incursions into freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of movement.WHAT A BUNCH OF DIRTY, DIRTY bastids!

I read through the report and one thing that wasn’t mentioned is vax passports. That might have been because Florida didn’t have them...

Were they really a thing anywhere? I traveled to 22 states Mostly deep blue) the year of the lockdown and was never asked for one.

All I ever had to do was occasionally give a restaurant my name and phone number for tracking purposes.

I wonder how many others gave names like Jim Madison and Tom Jefferson

I think some of the bigger cities had them, or you had to show a vax card to get into certain venues like restaurants and bars. Cook county did this in January of 2022..

Vax passports were not implimented in Florida as you say. However they were required in interstate commerce by some states. The US feds and Canada created vax passports by executive order for cross border commercial traffic which resulted in a revolt by independengt truckers in Canada and seizure of two high traffic border crossings...one in ALberta and the Other on the Freedom Bridge ( Windsor Ontario, cross border auto parts etc)

THis revolt actually pushed back on vax passports all across America and Canada,,,,the lefty deep state knew they had a powder keg and retreated in their unconstitutional , assinine totalitarian methods. Few knew how vast the push aganst our freedoms truklt were until we examined how Sweden handled its reaction to Covid. THey put freedoom first.We did not.

The Florida Grand Jury could examine how its commerce was afected by trucker vax mandates and deterioration of the supply chain.

I even spent a couple days in New York City during the depth of the insanity. Nothing was said. Maine had a sign on the freeway that said out of staters not welcome-go home or something like that. I ignored that too.

Good point about vax passports at the border. The grand jury is going to be around for a while so they may get into other issues while being stonewalled by the feds..

I forgot that universities were big implementors of vax passports using phone apps.

NYC (the "greatest city in the world") had a jab requirement to sit down and eat in a restaurant.

I live in downstate Illinois. I didn’t have to put up with jab requirements to get into restaurants, but had to put up with the stupid table spacing and mask requirements. If Covid levels went up, seating capacity went down. On top of that, you had to wear face masks walking to the table. Just stupid stuff in retrospect and noted by many of FRiends at the time..

The jury added that some “prospective witnesses” raised concerns about whether the grand jury will be “fair,” and said that prospective witnesses would choose not to testify because of “potential professional or personal consequences.”

Gee, that isn’t a problem in D.C. or N.Y.

As the article mentioned, a Florida state grand jury doesn’t have any subpoena power to compel Feds to comply. It would have to be a federal grand jury..
