Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is launching a probe into the Covid vaccines and their manufacturers to investigate 'any and all wrongdoing'.

The Republican, who has long been a critic of lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates, has asked the state's Supreme Court to launch a grand jury investigation into how they were used in Florida and any long-term harms that could have come as a result. 

He appeared to compare the rollout and use of the shots to how opioids were used in the lead up to America's still ongoing drug overdose crisis.

Dr Joseph Ladapo, the Sunshine state's surgeon general, was featured on a roundtable where the announcement was made as well, where he said the 'risk is much higher [with the Covid vaccines]... not in the same ballpark as other vaccines].
