Gov. Ron DeSantis’s request for COVID vaccine probe denounced by health experts
The Hill ^ | 12/26/22 6:17 PM ET | BY JOSEPH CHOI

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) petition for a grand jury investigation into COVID-19 vaccines, in which he decries the ongoing vaccine campaign as “propaganda” by the Biden administration, is drawing fierce criticism from health experts.

Physicians and public health experts say his request betrays decades of established procedure designed to ensure the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, and only serves to stoke further immunization fears.

DeSantis’s petition for a grand jury investigation was approved by the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday, clearing the way for what his office described as a probe into “wrongdoing committed against Floridians related to the COVID-19 vaccine.”

The request was first made known during a roundtable discussion the Florida governor held last week, in which he condemned what he viewed as the linking of morality to pandemic mitigation methods such as staying at home in the early parts of the outbreak and getting vaccinated once the shots became available later on, and criticized federal COVID-19 guidance as being a “huge political farce.”

In his petition, DeSantis expressed suspicion over the COVID-19 vaccines’ ability to prevent transmission of the virus, as well as public statements made on the subject by officials like President Biden and outgoing chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci. As has been previously stated by physicians and researchers, no vaccine is 100 percent effective, but studies have consistently shown the coronavirus vaccines offer strong enough protection for recipients to prevent severe disease, hospitalization and death.

“It is impossible to imagine that so many influential individuals came to this view on their own. Rather, it is likely that individuals and companies with an incentive to do so created these perceptions for financial gain,” DeSantis suggested in his petition.

DeSantis should start by making the CDC’s own VAERS public record.

The msm will not.

Of course they don’t like it because it will show them to be a bunch of corrupted idiots.

The fact that only Florida is doing something like this shows how powerful the federal government medical partnership is. Hopefully some other states will act in a similar way, because it will be difficult for Florida to fight them alone.

Is Trump, Warp Speed father of the SwampJab, one of the ‘health experts’?

Lots of folks here demand Ron support anything Don does or supports. Ron is doing the Right thing here. Where is The Don on this topic?

True on both counts.

Even so it’s a great thing that DeSantis is challenging their undeserved monopoly on medical truth.

Of course, it is being “denounced” - they are at risk of being exposed as the fraud (and worse - the death-cult it has built).

Moral conflicts of interest. Financial conflicts of interest - with deep roots of corruption at lever level...

Yeah - there’s a reason they are “denouncing” such an investigation.

And I am praying that this is a REAL investigation - with REAL evidence and REAL data exposed.

They should welcome it. Let us see the thought process in this entire event.

Yes.

Perhaps Ron is first going to beat Don in court, then beat him on the ballot.

The father of the SwampJab is not without guilt.

Absolutely. Even if there is some political ambition behind the move, it’s essential that SOMEONE do SOMETHING. What’s concerning is how little support he’s getting. Even most Freepers seem more concerned about how this might damage Trump, than supporting it for the right reasons, so these threads regarding it see few replies. Outside of here, it’s not really even being mentioned at all.

Hopefully, however, just like DeSantis started the trend of shipping illegals to the NE states, other states will soon follow his lead on this as well.

Have not read of that and may not be reported.

VAERS used to be updated daily much like the daily China Virus case reporting.

About April/May of 2021, the CDC noted much heavier traffic to their site and to the VAERS section.

Reporting stopped for about six weeks then resumed with updates being spaced 14+ days and the death rate significantly declined but still grew at a much slower rate.

The current 14+ day updates is for the CDC review each report of Adverse Event and qualify each if it is reportable or not, thus the lower death rate.

If Ron’s probe is successful, he’s President in 2025.

Trump has guilt here. He has time to repent. But I have no reason to believe he is capable of admitting mistakes.

“If Ron’s probe is successful, he’s President in 2025.”

Don is a populist and is likely going to suffer for it.

Ron is a Freedom leader. And hopefully starts a trend of strong states / govs kicking the feds in the nuts.

We are never going to elect somebody to ‘fix’ DC. We need to concentrate and rebellious states, where you vote can still count, to begin taking power back home.
