Much like the first report, this <a href=\"https:\/\/acis-api.flcourts.gov\/courts\/68f021c4-6a44-4735-9a76-5360b2e8af13\/cms\/case\/172e2f34-0a47-41fa-a92f-6fc5ad21b4c9\/docketentrydocuments\/7f34525c-7fe4-4228-880f-d8392ec93564\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new analysis<\/a> contains damning information about how the \u201cexpert\u201d class did not, in fact, \u201cfollow the science.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Covid Patients Gain Natural Immunity Through Infection<\/h2>\n<p>Infection-derived immunity (IDI), or \u201cnatural immunity,\u201d is not a new phenomenon. As noted by the grand jury, the human body acquiring natural protection from harmful antigens via infection is a concept that has existed for \u201cthousands of years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While no human had previously been infected with Covid-19 prior to the outbreak in late 2019 and early 2020, it became evident in the months and years that followed that those who got infected and recovered from the virus possessed greater natural protection against reinfection. According to the report, \u201c[m]ost studies show that, on average, IDI lowered chances of reinfection from the Ancestral, Alpha and Delta variants of SARS-CoV-2 in the unvaccinated by roughly 80%,\u201d with such \u201cimmunity generally [starting] to decline around 40 weeks after infection but level[ing] off to what appeared to be a roughly stable 50% that lasted from 60 to 80 weeks after infection.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese promising IDI numbers did not just appear out of the blue in 2024. They were echoed in numerous studies produced at different times over the course of the last four years,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-3d4fa0e50680d80b8ea4921085bbbe08 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-3d4fa0e50680d80b8ea4921085bbbe08\"><\/div>\n<p>A 2021 Israeli study cited by the grand jury, for instance, reportedly found that \u201cunvaccinated people with IDI had an overall effective protection rate of approximately 86% against the Delta variant.\u201d Meanwhile, a 2021 study of patients in New York and California \u201cshowed that infections per 1,000 unvaccinated persons were roughly 129 for those with no IDI, and only 5 among the IDI, a 96% relative risk reduction rate.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The grand jury noted how \u201c[n]one of these statistics should have been a surprise to anyone in healthcare\u201d and that such basic science \u201cis so well understood that the broad strokes of it could be found in virtually any high school textbook.\u201d Jury members further highlighted how \u201cpeople with IDI in 2020 and 2021 had little to nothing to gain\u201d from nonpharmaceutical interventions such as masking and lockdowns \u2014 two policies their <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/06\/florida-grand-jury-report-vindicates-5-spot-on-covid-claims-you-werent-allowed-to-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first interim report<\/a> documented had little to no scientific benefit. They also admonished government health agencies for ignoring biological reality and for inconsistent public policy prescriptions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven that there were testing modalities available that could easily confirm whether a person had IDI, <strong><em>this Grand Jury believes it was irresponsible of government agencies not to have advised tailoring their mitigation measures to divide those at decreased risk due to IDI in the same way they would later divide the vaccinated<\/em><\/strong>, especially those of lower age with fewer comorbidities who were already at reduced risk,\u201d the report reads. \u201c\u2026 Where officials have concerns about certain behaviors, they should absolutely communicate those concerns and discourage those behaviors, but not at the expense of suppressing or ignoring \u2018the science.&#8217;\u201d <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Government \u2018Experts\u2019 Attacked Potential Covid Treatments<\/h2>\n<p>While the grand jury noted the difficulty in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-researchers-uncover-potential-treatment-for-cocaine-addiction\/\" title=\"California researchers find potential treatment for cocaine addiction.\">finding effective treatments<\/a> for a new virus amid a global outbreak, it lamented how some government health officials committed \u201cavoidable mistakes\u201d when it came to \u201cmessaging and communication\u201d with the American public about potential early treatment options. Among the most notable was the \u201cexpert\u201d class\u2019s war against <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/hydroxychloroquine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hydroxychloroquine<\/a>, a commonly used drug often prescribed to treat malaria.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-30bf660d25262cf36e4c3f4810a030d3 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-30bf660d25262cf36e4c3f4810a030d3\"><\/div>\n<p>The jury noted how some \u201cwell-credentialed scientists and clinicians\u201d were \u201cdissatisfied\u201d with the data the Food and Drug Administration used to justify its decision to revoke \u201cEmergency Use Authorization\u201d of hydroxychloroquine for treating Covid patients, and they chose to prescribe the drug to patients based on the data they were examining. The medication\u2019s proponents argued the data cited by the FDA \u201cfocused on using the drug in hospitalized patients as opposed to outpatients, contained large numbers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-puts-use-of-johnson-johnson-vaccine-on-pause-as-six-of-7-million-develop-blood-clots\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Puts Use Of Johnson &#038; Johnson Vaccine On Pause As Six Of 7 Million Develop Blood Clots\">low-risk individuals<\/a>,\u201d and had other issues undercutting its reliability. <\/p>\n<p>The grand jury said it does \u201cnot believe it was unreasonable [for doctors] to include hydroxychloroquine in an early outpatient treatment regimen for Covid-19\u201d given the drug\u2019s \u201clong history\u201d of relatively safe use and the ever-changing nature of \u201cthe science.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While the grand jury found clinicians\u2019 use of the drug to treat Covid patients reasonable, government agencies and their media allies did not. The grand jury described how \u201c[p]rominent government public health officials, of course, did not agree, widely stigmatizing the drug, vilifying the doctors who prescribed it, the researchers who advocated it and the people who took it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn April of 2020, a mere two days after the Guidelines were initially published with an \u2018Emergency Recommendation\u2019 for hydroxychloroquine, a prominent newspaper characterized interviews with hydroxychloroquine proponents as \u2018a big dose of dumb[,]\u2019 and noting that \u2018[c]laims about hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 have gained traction despite a lack of scientific evidence,\u2019\u201d the report reads. \u201cFrom there, the information war was on. Even after the Guidelines changed hydroxychloroquine\u2019s status to \u2018Not Recommended,\u2019 news agencies continued to criticize those who researched the drug, calling hydroxychloroquine \u2018the most disappointing, disavowed drug that researchers keep studying for Covid-19.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The grand jury similarly examined the \u201cbizarre\u201d information warfare against ivermectin, a Nobel Prize-winning antiparasitic medication approved for human use in 1987. While researchers published studies both supporting and disproving the drug\u2019s efficacy against Covid, the same aforementioned government and media figures engaged in a \u201cpointless, ugly war of words over a proven-safe drug with questionable effectiveness.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The grand jury criticized public health officials for issuing dismissive and childish messaging, specifically for an August 2021 tweet about ivermectin by the FDA that read, \u201cYou are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y\u2019all. Stop it.\u201d The jury similarly lambasted the media for referring to the medication as a \u201chorse paste\u201d and noted how some state licensing boards \u201cbegan to threaten the livelihoods of doctors who prescribed Ivermectin to their patients for Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough all this, none of these opponents were able to effectively articulate a good reason for their contempt towards Ivermectin,\u201d the report reads. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. \u2018Expert\u2019 and Media Lies Put Lives at Risk<\/h2>\n<p>Above all, the grand jury highlighted how government health \u201cexperts\u201d and legacy media\u2019s efforts to squash debate about the efficacy of drugs like ivermectin created an avoidable scenario in which individuals who felt they were being lied to took matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people became so desperate to get this supposed miracle drug, so sure they were being lied to, that they began to resort to doses and formulations of the drug meant for animals, resulting in a number of well-publicized Ivermectin overdoses,\u201d the report reads. \u201cOnce again, opponents looked down their noses at the foolishness of these desperate, misguided fools. Late night comedians made jokes at their expense and everybody who knew how to \u2018follow the science\u2019 laughed. This Grand Jury is not laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a profound failure of public health messaging. <strong><em>We lay every overdose that occurred at the feet of those who authored this campaign of vilification<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d the grand jury added. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-28b6e8d87de3c6585da31e64af13167d fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-28b6e8d87de3c6585da31e64af13167d\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report from a Florida grand jury, commissioned by Gov.
