At a news conference in South Florida, DeSantis also said he is requesting a statewide grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes and wrongdoing” related to the coronavirus vaccine. He provided few details on what specifically he wants a panel to probe, but in a press release, his office noted side effects like myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, that have been observed in rare cases.
“This is just another example of politicizing health care,” said Gwynn, a pediatrician with the University of Miami Health System. “I really don’t understand where they’re going with it.” DeSantis’s press office accused pharmaceutical companies and the Biden administration of pushing the distribution of mRNA vaccines “through relentless propaganda while ignoring real-life adverse events.” Ladapo joined that criticism, and said the state would work with the University of Florida to study autopsy results in cases of “sudden deaths of individuals that received the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida.
Can you imagine him as President what our lives will be like? We dealt with Trump, now DeSantis will be ten times worse with our freedoms. Our country would have the first DICTATOR.
He needs to respond to the total deaths in his state from covid. Telling teen boys to take off their masks during a press conference; he is guilty of covid deaths in his state period!
RonDeSantisFL GovRonDeSantis Since when is it your call to stick your nose into public health and safety issues. Your track record for keeping people healthy and alive in your state stinks, check your Covid deaths from non vaxxers.
Ron D 2024!!!! GovRonDeSantis
Waster in chief
This is his attempt to blame others for his negligence in the death of the 87k Floridians because he’s going to run for the presidency. Governor death-Santis
He's a greedy cynical supporter of insurrection & should be sued for every person who dies as a result of his sick policies.
too sinister to serve. he talks and acts like a witch doctor. he reminds me of dr josef mengele & dr joseph goebbels as they all have college degrees. i’m the son & nephew of holocaust survivors so I can see clearly what desantis is doing. truly evil.
Thank god for aRon.. a close cousin of aDon!
This guy is what the old folks used to call a 'jive turkey'.
What the F is his problem?
He belongs in prison.
He belongs in prison. The FLCC is a corrupt bunch of grifters that have made millions on the deaths of people.
Fentanyl Deaths will eventually surpass Covid deaths.
Not often you see a politician setting up a situation in which he could be found to have 'committed crimes and wrongdoing.'
I’m sure he will handle this as well as he has the Florida insurance issue and controlling crazy rent hikes and prices - not happening smoke and mirrors
Well providing you don’t tell your doctor about any medication you put in your body and a lot do because they don’t want too be known as a “drugs”user and it’s alot and a lot of drugs that is taken will have an affect.
Forgive my French; fuck this guy
Elon’s guy
Hilarious
This guy is making my Twitter spoof profile account even easier
Dead snowbirds, cheap RVs!
Love my gov!!!
The more outrageous the better it seems for the GQPClownShow.
WP is giving DeSantis the Trump treatment. Normalizing destructive behavior.
And he's the alternative to Trump!? Remember Christie, you're full of yourself, like he is.
Still living up to his DeathSantis name
Siri: Show me bat shit crazy
OUTSTANDING.... Soon the nation will learn how POISONOUS that Vax actually is... Thank you, Gov. Disantis!
Oh that's rich. Is he going to arrest himself for the deaths of hundreds of thousands in his state?
Fk Nazi DeSSatan GovRonDeSantis
Wait. A Republican who profited from the illnesses of his constituents is creating a “committee” to look into ways to do so again. Ken Griffin, a DeSantis donor, invested $15.9 million in Regeneron for Citadel & gave $10.75 million to DeSantis. 🙄🤬
What company would ever HQ in Florida
Someone has to do something about the corruption in our government and health organization! For one our health organization should not be excepting private donations that influence decision making upon American citizens, another we tax payers shouldn’t be funding China for G.O.F
Just say anything to fit into a like-minded demographic for votes. A selling of the soul--and it shows!!! Repeatedly doing that makes one lose touch with what they really believe & value & thus makes them lose touch with their own authenticity, something most voters value.
Your local dictator in action
He’s fully vaccinated.
What a dope.
Pure ignorance
Translation: Ron DeSantis said that he doesn’t care if he’s wasting taxpayer dollars or if people die as long as he keeps getting campaign donations.
Yet he received more votes. I guess most believed his BS. So sad he doesn't care for Floridians.
Deemoney521 And what about forcing people to be shipped off with a promise of a place to live etc.. as a joke ? That sounds pretty criminal to me.
Florida had high covid deaths due to the lack of vaccinated. DeSantis is barking up the wrong tree. Terrible governor!
Such a crap shit.😠😠😠
Awesome
And we can’t say Gay or Woke or can’t read books our votes can be overturned Etc etc etc
🤔?🤔?🤔?foolishness,🤐🤐🙁
Fraud
FL had some of the highest death rates in the country durning the pandemic. Now he wants an investigation? Bring it on
Deemoney521 DeSatan doesn't understand that this is not gonna fly outside Fla. I sure hope he runs in 2024.
Why do I already dislike him more than trump? Something to do with the mafia seeming more moral than the drug cartel…
Great
Excellent.
Steamy pile of 💩 and ridiculous
Just means he has no plans ,to keep gas prices reasonable, or to curb inflation. DeSantis is fully vaccinated by the way
So they are going to investigate him? DeSantisDestroysFlorida
Same kind of verbiage that trump spilled from his lips. False promises and a way to control funds on frivolous projects like using state and federal tax dollars. I wonder which individuals will prosper on this project.
You mean those covid vaccine pop-ups he made sure to set up to vaccinate his more well- to- do donors first? Vaccination sites set up in The Villages before any others in that area. Those wrongdoings? DeSantisDestroysFlorida
Talk about witch-hunt. What a waste of time and money.
How about we live medical decisions/advice to doctors, not politicians - ever. JFC! Talk about gov't overreach - especially for a state official.
Ron DeSantis trying to out-Trump Trump.
Good. CDC put's the interest's of teachers unions and wokeness before public health and science.
He's referring to Trump?
Another DeFascist distraction from actual issues in Florida
👀🤷🏽♀️🤬
BugdenSteven He'll waste a lot of money on a nothing burger, just to try and cast a shadow over the competition, but when it rings hollow Americans we'll see he's just a fraud.
I dont see a problem. In 20 years we will have less of Republicans who follow the dufus health whatever this guy creates. Awesome.
Does being anti-science, anti-health, & anti-vaxx make you viable in GOP primary? Remember when GOP was party of ideas, thought provoking white papers, dynamic non-paranoid Grievance speakers and 'sunny future' outlooks? What happened when the Orange monster swallowed them up?
What 'crimes and wrongdoing'? Like when he directed vaccines to wealthy Republican communities and big donor supermarket chains?
Deemoney521 Crazy, you can only play in Florida, not in any blue state
He’s probably using Covid money, provided by American taxpayers, to fund this nonsense. Someone must have leaked to him that he was about to be investigated for his use of those funds.
So this gwynn lady has 'no idea?' Well she/he/it/they? can't be that smart then! And when hack states 'rare cases,' there is, again, just words with no proof to back them up. So, 'in rare cases actually does provides readers with proof-very rare?'
That must mean he's going to investigate his own office.
Keep the pressure on them DeSantis
So, he's looking to indict himself?
This is a dangerous man. Trump is a monkey throwing feces at a wall, but DeSantis somehow went to two Ivy League schools and was a lawyer in the Navy. He is purposefully pushing buttons to rile up the Qult.
This is what Florida voted for.
This should be more proof that this guy does not care about the people in Florida. He just wants to be a dictator. He’s such a piece of crap.
Hey, DeSanitary... maybe focus on cleaning up Florida and preparing for the next major climate related disaster, since you won't do anything to prevent it.
Good! It's about time someone did that. What's wrong with uncovering the truth?
Sounds great, do a thorough investigation. See if anything is wrong and then go from there.
Is DeSantis going to spend Florida's Covid money to pay for this, or did he spend it all flying migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard and his worthless 'election police'? His presidential campaign is costing Florida a fortune.
“Critical race theory recognizes that systemic racism is part of American society and challenges the beliefs that allow it to flourish.” (Karimi, 2021)
Deathsantis. Go ahead and end his own base 🤣
Stick a fork in him he’s done.If this is the hill he what’s to climb.
Idiot
Why put quotes around crimes and wrongdoing. What kind of journalism is it when you put your own personal opinion into the article?
One Republican Congressman who served with DeSantis said he would rather have a root canal without anesthetic than have to listen to Ron speak for 5 minutes.
160,000 Floridians have died so far. Who's examining HIM?
To deflect from this, context is key.
Terrible and disgusting. The worst is that he absolutely knows this is bullshit, he knows he’s peddling lies and doesn’t care. It’s all about promoting himself to his horrible base.
Republicans continue to have nothing to offer Americans to improve our lives.
Boy, Wan-wan really went full Dotard, didn’t he?
He’s the one that needs to be investigated, when vaccine first came out, which was not enough for everyone, to get at the same time, so they approached it with age groups first. Guess what he was doing. he was going and meeting his rich friends and letting them have it first
When the next virus is far worse lets see how his 'leadership' works out....
Out of the frying pan into the fire. It's too early to tell, but DeSantis could end up being worse than Trump. He's not an ignoramus, for starters.
Who votes for this truly unfortunate man?
Absolutely evil
America is such a dumb place to live.
Great, he can start with Trump who threw out FDA guidelines on developing a vaccine. He said, it would have taken 6-10 years, I am doing it in months. GovRonDeSantis
🤣 Liar is falling and he created a further problem for himself. This man will not finish his mandate. He want go against the health state division. Florida doesn't even have medicare 🤣 Fraudster
MAGA Republicans this is y’all in GOP, sadly!! caslernoel DNC
Who cares what the Nazi is going to do?!!!!
What a little Don Quixote.
Unfortunately, DeSantis has already been sold. Not a glorious moment for Great Floridians.
Like when he let so many people die? Yes, that needs to be investigated!
Can we start with him and his policies?
DeSantis is not the pandemic hero of Florida. He’s the villain
Under DeSantis and his Surgeon General, Ladapo; COVID fatalities topped the nation from June through August. It’s also the third summer in a row Florida has been No. 1 for COVID deaths. Over 80,000 Floridians dead.
Another sad DeSantis political plan that will end up going nowhere except to waste taxpayer dollars on legal fees. How many of DeSantis’ lawyer buddies will profit from this?
Opposing advice from health experts, that’s why DeSantis hired that quack from the Frontline Doctors Joseph Ladapo to be Florida’s Surgeon General.
This governor is absolutely bananas! He’s endangering the lives of uncountable Floridian.
NapoleonComplex bigly
Never gonna vote for DeSantis
yvonnewingett He is a despot.
Still. In 2022
A grand jury should investigate DeSantis for manslaughter given his policies on Covid dramatically increased the death rate in Florida over the nation as a whole. His policies killed people.
Much more than Trump, DeSantis understands how to leverage executive power to advance conservative policy goals. Even the conservatives who “get it” mostly just play defense. DeSantis is a front-runner because he plays offense too.
USCCB Pontifex party of life?
Is anyone going to ask DeSantis for solid evidence to back up his claims?
Republicans are just getting worse and worse
The first person for his Kangaroo Court to investigate should be Ronny himself. If they provide an honest result, Ronny would be guilty of “crimes and wrongdoing” and that should be the end of his ridiculous grand jury.
he is so deep in corruption he is going to always have a press release handy to distract from it. Hopefully and nytimes learned something from covering Trump.
fontainetricia1 The people of Florida love this guy and we might have to deal with his BS nationally if he becomes President.
You can be sure that essentially nothing of this will come to pass other than a performance politics opportunity.
I think we really need a committee to review the work of his committee.
Like when Florida underreported Covid cases?
Good, what's the issue with checking these fools pushing a clot shot. They got paid but Americans got injected with experimental drugs.
I'm a liberal ldiot and this upsets my love of big pharma.
This is just nuts and so far beyond his level of competence it is jaw droppingly horrid. This is autocracy and far right behavior. Call it OUT please.
If they find out that this vaccine was unnecessary and was imposed just for the profit by using media to scare people, all hell is going to break loose. The people responsible will be no different than Nazis. I doubt that they will let anything slip but let’s see shall we?
DeClowntis is not fixing house insurance because he does not care about Floridians.... DOJ should investigate how many people died due to the lies he spread about COVID....
And he does his best to make it sound like he's fighting really horrible stuff.
Hey Florida, enjoy the death cult you have down there.
DeathSantis is just trying to “mask” his pro Trump stance on no masks, no vaccines and no state records! The biggest scandal in America is how DeathSantis prevented his state board of health from reporting the real COVID numbers in Florida and instead of leading he delegated.
This man is horrifying!
The man that helped kill thousands wants to investigate…
Where does all the ugly heart ugly faced people like DeSantis and MTG come from? What gave birth to them?
bonmondieu Ron DeSantis cares about 1 thing Power!
Awesome!!!! Every gov should do this!
Fake
He brings part of Guantánamo to the table.
He’s fully vaccinated lol what a hypocrite
Don’t present fascism likes it’s news
After he becomes President, the Vatican should offer him Sainthood for all the lives he saved from the Fauci virus & Big Pharma's genocide Jabs. thedieoffhasbegun.
Another nowhere Ron project. To distract from his deliberate misinformation campaign over COVID. Ron is wrong. Time and time again.
He's aiming to get more people dead?
He will do anything that is inconsequential yet bizarre enough to generate buzz
DeSantis for president and WaPo for birdcage liner!
How about his buddy’s suicide?
2024 Presidential candidate !!!
The man is evil incarnate.
😅😂🤣
Good
Except the non partisan health profesionals on the panel
pretty MAGA, isn't he?
All for investigation.. every one knows the other party loves them!
Imagine wanting to stay in power THIS bad
Here's the words from the horses mouth... Judge for yourselves people without biased broadcasting pushing the narrative
This is insane!
The only crimes committed were the Floridians that DeSantis killed through neglect.
So Deathsantis is calling for an investigation into his negligence? Well bravo!
How it started. COVID-19 DEATHS Credit: Trump, Jared and Ivanka Some people call this manslaughter. Complicit IvankaLies TrumpCrimeFamily
How much $$$ will this cost taxpayers How many more deaths will it cause?
Who authorized Fauci to use our tax dollars to outsource his dangerous U.S.-banned virus research to China? Fauci & the NIAID are responsible for 6 million Wuhan Lab Flu deaths. Fauci should be behind bars!
He can investigate Trump for BleachGate
So Rump who developed the vaccine through Project Warped Mind is in trouble with his potential opposition DeSatanis who is going to investigate Rump Vaccine! Brilliant!
Start with Traitor Trump Elixirs that killed people. Hydroxychloroquine, Chloroquine & Bleach are just a few. In fact don’t to investigate yourself fir shutting down your Secretary of Health reportingon Covid deaths in Florida. DeSantis You lied to Floridians
If there are no crimes or wrongdoing, there is nothing to worry about.
Karma heard that.
Can we investigate how many people GovRonDeSantis killed by politicizing public health and hiding Covid death numbers?
Finger Pointing Politics. No polities. No governance. Just finger pointin.
Crazy only works in Florida
Except in the state of Florida.
DonnaRapado lol is he trying to get a head start on losing in 2024 against Biden! 😆..what a circus
He should start with realDonaldTrump who set up operation warp speed. It’s all about 2024
FOOLISHNESS nothing less.right?
Check the data. Florida has one of the highest death rates from covid in the country. 60% higher than CA. Don't be stenographers for his propaganda, ask why he isn't criminally charged for the 83,000 covid deaths (and rising)
Maybe just some needed oversight. Govt agencies don’t have the best record lately of transparency, honesty, fairness and Truth.
Every statement by Republicans, their supporters, and fellow travelers is untrue. (OK, Cheney and Kinzinger understand insurrection.) It's mis- and dis-information. Don't waste time analyzing it. It's ipso facto false.
🙄
All grandstanding, playing to the tribe.
Florida COVID deaths: 83,200 Canada COVID deaths: 48,574 Florida population: 22 million Canada population: 38.6 million There's DeSantis' crime.
There is no wrong doing period
yvonnewingett This is how you’re framing it—as though it’s a perfectly reasonable and normal thing for a governor to do?
They’ll meet in a secret room under the flat earth, and share their findings using Marjorie’s space lasers….
So a death panel against inconvenience.
One thing DeSantis illustrates most clearly about the GOP is that they are the party of never ending petty grievances.
Didn't souther politicians do this in the 40s and 50s, take off jackets, address the public in their shirt sleeve and yell like foghorn leghorn, lies to there citizens
We need a committee to review the work of his committee.
That grand jury might convict him tho 🤷🏽♀️🤣
Greatest Governor in the United States
Great move GovRonDeSantis - keep up the great leadership 👏🏼👏🏼
🙌
Can we call him Comrade DiSantis now.
Stop sending money to states that have assholes for governors. If they get any kind of relief funds they need to be returned if they don't use them.
So much for Florida being a part of the United States. The supremacy clause of the constitution will make these committees and investigations worthless and a total waste of time and money. However, it will make the GQP/MAGA cult happy. Just another political stunt from DeSantis.
I doubt anything will happen but at least someone is trying to get some accountability.
DeSATANis wanted national level attention for a diversion from his BFF's suicide, and here you are WaPo happy to oblige.
Wow ! Rise of planet of apes! Anti science nomads!
But he’s vaccinated…
DeSantis creating a panel of conspiracy theorists and anti-science buffoons because that’s what “moderate Republicans” do. The media will act like this is totally normal and not fascist behavior akin to Donald Trump’s Covid response.
Great!!!
Why stop there? How about flu shots? Or measles? What about rabies vaccines for dogs?cancer screenings? Dental cleaning? Washing your hands? Wiping your butt after using the bathroom?
👏👏👏
The vaccine and covid response generated from the trump admin, so this is somehow anti-trump but also incredibly stupid. Very rarely do those two things intersect.
Crimes like theft of all the Covid funds?
Playing politics with health and good science is not a good look. This guy is scary bad.
Ron DeSantis is the epitome of anti-science, anti-vaxx troglodyte Republican society. People will die because of his abhorrent quest for popularity from the bottom of the barrel of the GOP; aka “the base “.
Americans new health care under Sunshine Ron🥴
Will it encompass DeSantis’ own crimes and wrongdoings?
80% of adults have the Covid vaccine. Good job Ronny
Exactly what is he trying to prove? What would this country be like if no vaccinations were offered? People were begging for a cure or something to help.
