The roundtable was titled the “Public Health Integrity Committee,” and included multiple medical and health academia specialists who spoke about risks from the COVID-19 vaccines and expressed concerns about the politicization of medical science during the pandemic.
The event follows previous announcements by the governor about holding COVID vaccine manufacturers “accountable” for the side effects of the vaccines.
When announcing the accountability initiative on Dec. 9, DeSantis cited several studies showing an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in adolescents and young male patients after receiving the bivalent, mRNA vaccines for COVID-19.
