Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he will ask the state Supreme Court to convene a special jury to investigate "any and all wrongdoing" concerning vaccines against the coronavirus.

The politician implied that his decision was due to the possible deception regarding effectiveness as well as the side effects that the vaccines were causing.

"An investigation is warranted to determine whether the pharmaceutical industry has engaged in fraudulent practices. The people of Florida deserve to know the truth," he said.

According to DeSantis, the intention is to begin legal proceedings in order to obtain more information to see if any misconduct was committed and to punish those responsible.

The governor also took the opportunity to clarify that his suspicion is warranted, since in the past there have been notorious cases in which the pharmaceutical industry has deceived the public to obtain economic benefits.

"Questions have been raised regarding the veracity of the representations made by the pharmaceutical manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly with respect to transmission, prevention, efficacy, and safety," he said.

DeSantis added that there is precedent for such an investigation and recalled that the Sunshine State "obtained $3.2 billion through legal action against those responsible for the opioid crisis."

Department of Health found vaccine-related deaths

In the past, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already admitted that some patients who received vaccines have developed myocarditis, inflammation of the outer lining of the heart, pericarditis and inflammation of the heart muscle.

In addition, DeSantis said the Department of Health did its own research and found that there has been an "increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related deaths among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination."

Although the state Supreme Court has yet to approve the grand jury, the Florida governor assured that he will work to collect data and reminded that in Florida it is illegal to "misrepresent or mislead," especially when it comes to health issues.
