Federal agencies refuse to cooperate with Florida grand jury investigating COVID-19 vaccines, interim report reveals | 2 Feb 2024 | Federal agencies have declined to help a Florida grand jury convened by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis investigate the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, the panel said Friday. In their refusal to participate, some witnesses have told the grand jury that "professional or personal consequences" may arise from their cooperation with the probe, while others have been critical of the "fairness" of the investigation, the panel noted in a 33-page interim report on the inquiry. "Unfortunately, not all our investigative efforts have been met with fulsome cooperation," the grand jury report states... None of the federal agencies involved in the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines have been forthcoming with information, the grand jury has discovered, and the panel said it has no legal power to force the agencies to furnish information.
