Factual Background
5. The federal government, medical associations, and other experts
have created an expectation that receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is an ethical or civic duty and that choosing not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 is selfish and harmful to others.1 As one politician in another state put it, if a person chooses not to receive a vaccine, they

Americans Vaccinated and Combat the Spread of the Delta Variant,
The White House (July 29, 2021), tinyurl.corn/47tx46v2 (President Biden stated, “[g]et vaccinated – for yourself, for the people you love, for your country.”); Press Release, Major Health Care Professional Organizations Call for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates for All Health Workers, Ass’n. of Arn. Med. Colls. (July 26, 2021), tinyur1.corn/yckbyyh7. might “go home and kiss [their] grandmother and wind-up killing [their] grandmother.”2
6. While Florida rejected vaccine mandates and passports, some Floridians made the choice to receive the COVID-19 vaccine because they believed that receiving the vaccine would prevent them from spreading COVID-19 to others.
7. The widespread beliefthat the COVID-19 vaccines prevented the disease from spreading became so pervasive that the President of the United States himself believed it to be true. He sought to impose a variety of vaccine mandates on the American people, including healthcare workers and members of the military, which were premised on the notion that “unvaccinated people spread the virus” and “the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent infection by the Delta variant or other variants is to be vaccinated.”3

Spread ofthe Delta Variant (July 29, 2021), tinyurl.com/47tx46v2. He even stated that “[y]ou’re not going to get Covid ifyou have these vaccinations.”4
8. Florida’s prohibitions on vaccine requirements could not prevent all federal vaccine requirements, such as those for military members. Many Floridians serving in Florida and abroad were forced to submit to COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment. These mandates were imposed even as evidence surfaced ofincreased cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in those vaccinated.5
9. Various state and federal health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), held the beliefthat the vaccines prevented transmission, and in turn issued guidance recommending the vaccines as effective at “limiting the spread of the virus that causes it.”6 The CDC’s website stated the vaccines were “safe and effective as determined by data from the manufacturers,” but that statement was later removed.7 The CDC also advised that

10. 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.

11. For example, on November 30, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer of Moderna told the public that a study “confirms the ability of our vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease with 94.1% efficacy.”11
12. Pfizer similarly stated that its vaccine was “highly effective with 91.3% vaccine efficacy observed against COVID-19 … through up to six months after the second dose.”12 Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Bourla, stated that its “COVID-19 vaccine was 100% effective” in preventing cases in South Africa.13
13. Moderna promoted an article on its Twitter page titled “10 Common Vaccine Myths Busted,” which stated that “[g]etting vaccinated is like wearing a mask-it isn’t just about protecting you, but also your community” and “[t]he more people who are vaccinated, the fewer chances a disease has to spread.”14

14. Both Pfizer and Moderna use their websites to promote the theory that their COVID-19 vaccines help develop “herd immunity.” According to Moderna, herd immunity is the “indirect group protection from an infectious disease that happens when a population is immune through either vaccination or previous infection.”15 Moderna’s website states that “[t]o safely achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, a large amount of a population needs to be vaccinated” and that this “help[s] protect those who cannot get
vaccinated.”16 Moderna recommends COVID-19 vaccination “even if you are healthy” because a vaccine may “[a]dd to the number of people in the community who are protected from getting COVID-19, contributing to herd immunity.”17

16. Some representations by the pharmaceutical manufacturers even suggested that the vaccines would help end the pandemic.20
17. In January 2021, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel stated, “[t]he antibody decay generated by the vaccine in humans goes down very slowly” and “[w]e believe there will be protection potentially for a couple of years.”21 Yet not even a year later, Bancel announced that

18. Only months ago, a Pfizer executive confirmed at a hearing in front of the European Parliament that the company did not test its COVID-19 vaccines before they entered the market to determine whether they prevented the transmission of COVID-19.23
19. On December 29, 2020, the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, stated that there was a lack of evidence “to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.”24

23 During a hearing on the European Union’s COVID-19 response, when asked if the Pfizer vaccine was tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market, Pfizer’s presidentofinternational developed markets stated “[n]o … we have to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market … and from that_point ofview we had to do everything at risk.” Special Committee On COVID-19 Pandemic, Eur.

Nearly a year later, World Health Organization officials admitted that the vaccines did “not fully prevent transmission.”25 Indeed, various studies have seriously undermined the narrative that vaccination prevents the transmission of COVID-19, especially the delta and omicron variants.26 This calls into question the accuracy of pharmaceutical manufacturers’ representations that their vaccines would stop transmission, develop herd immunity, and help end the pandemic.

21. On the contrary, the Florida Department of Health recognized reduced COVID-19 vaccine efficacy in children and a limited risk of severe illness from COVID-19 in healthy children.30 The Florida Department of Health issued guidance recommending that healthy children may not benefit from the COVID-19 vaccine and recognizing that the risk of myocarditis, particularly for adolescents 16 to 17 years of age, may outweigh the benefit of COVID-19 vaccination:31

Nature and Scope of the Investigation
26. In light of the foregoing information, Petitioner has determined that there are good and sufficient reasons to deem it to be in the public interest to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate criminal or wrongful activity in Florida relating to the development, promotion, and distribution ofvaccines purported to prevent COVID- infection, symptoms, and transmission.
27. Specifically, such investigation should consider any crime or
wrong listed or described in section 905.34 that relates to the following:
(a) Individuals, persons, and entities, including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations involved in the design, development, clinical testing or investigation, manufacture, marketing, representation, advertising, promotion, labeling, distribution, formulation, packing, sale, purchase, donation, dispensing, prescribing, administration, or use of vaccines purported to prevent COVID-19 infection, symptoms, and transmission;
(b) other criminal activity or wrongdoing that the statewide grand jury uncovers during the course of the investigation if it determines that pursuing the criminal activity or wrongdoing is in the best interests of the investigation.
28. A statewide grand jury is an appropriate vehicle to examine these matters, identify any deficiencies in current laws and enforcement methods, and recommend revised or additional laws and enforcement methods.
29. Pursuant to sections 905.33 and 905.34, the jurisdiction of the statewide grand jury will extend throughout the state to investigate crimes, return indictments, make presentments or direct issuance of reports, and otherwise perform all functions of a statewide grand jury with regard to any offense enumerated 1n section 905.34, including but not limited to:
(a) Any crime involving, or resulting in, fraud or deceit upon any person [e.g., Chapter 817 (false pretenses and frauds, generally)]; (b) Chapter 499 (crimes under Part I of the Florida Drug and Cosmetic Act);
(c) Chapter 895 (violations of the prov1s1ons of the Florida Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), including offenses listed under section 895.02); and
(d) Any attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit any violation of the crimes specifically enumerated above.
30. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will serve as the primary investigator, though the statewide grand jury may seek the assistance of any law enforcement·entity or agency in Florida.
31. The investigation is not limited to any region of the state. Petitioner requests, however, that in the interest of convenience of prospective grand jury witnesses, law enforcement officers, and others, a region of the state should be designated as the base operating area. See§ 905.37(2).
32. Prospective jurors should be drawn from that region.
33. Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court designate the
Fifth, Sixth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Judicial Circuits as the base operating area in which the statewide grand jury should be impaneled because of the region’s central location within the state and its accessibility and convenience for grand jury participants.
34. Petitioner requests that the Chief Justice designate a circuijudge in one of the aforementioned judicial circuits to preside over the statewide grand jury. See§ 905.33(2), Fla. Stat.
35. The statewide grand jury should be impaneled for a term of 12 calendar months, subject to an extension of up to six additional months as provided by law. See§ 905.33(1), Fla. Stat.
For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court order that a statewide grand jury be impaneled.
