8 Bombshell Findings In Florida’s Grand Jury Report On Big Pharma’s Covid Shots

‘Hiding the details, methodology and results of scores of safety investigations from public view does not build public confidence; it undermines it.’

On Tuesday, a Florida grand jury released its final report on potential “criminal or wrongful activity” regarding the creation and promotion of the Covid jabs.

Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with looking into whether individuals and entities, “including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” possibly violated state law related to the development, clinical testing, and marketing of the mRNA shots. The jury previously released interim reports in February and May 2024, respectively, which undercut much of the pseudo-science pushed by government “experts” on subjects such as masking, lockdowns, and natural immunity.

Following its investigation, the grand jury ultimately declined to charge any individual or entity in the case after the jurors “did not find any statute that [they] believed would be an appropriate vehicle for a criminal indictment based on the facts” in its final report. The grand jury did, however, note that such a conclusion does not absolve entities of engaging in unethical behavior.

“We want to be abundantly clear that this does not mean we believe the actions of these sponsors were always appropriate, or that the statements they made turned out to be factually correct,” the report reads. “It just means that those actions and statements are not sufficient bases to support criminal prosecutions.”

Despite the lack of criminal charges, the jury did unearth numerous major findings in its report that shine a light on deceptive behavior and actions surrounding the development and promotion of the Covid shots. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the analysis.

11 Steakhouse Chains We Hope Can Save Their Declining Business

No matter whether you prefer upscale or more casual steakhouses, it’s likely that some of your favorite chain steakhouses are in decline right now. Many have been in decline for years now, with the COVID-19 pandemic hastening their demise even further. Steak restaurant chains that once had dozens or even hundreds of locations are seeing their numbers dwindle as more and more locations close their doors. While some parent companies are trying to remodel and update technology to try to stay relevant, others are watching their franchisees give up the steakhouse game.

The steakhouse chains on our list range from more upscale ones to casual ones and even ones that have buffets or serve their food cafeteria-style. While one on our list still has around 680 locations left open, 64% have fewer than 50 locations. Of those, two have only two locations left, and one is the last restaurant standing. The ones on our list are restaurants that are well-regarded, often ranking among the best steakhouse chains in the U.S. While they continue to get high ratings from their loyal customers, sometimes that isn’t enough, as there are many factors that go into being able to keep restaurants open. Hopefully, the beloved steakhouse chain restaurants on our list can find ways to halt their decline and not join the growing list of ones that have permanently closed their doors.

Black Angus Steakhouse

Customers have been getting their steak, seafood, and other meat at Black Angus Steakhouse around the U.S. since 1964. The chain dry-ages its USDA Choice steaks and Certified Angus Beef for three or more weeks. So, it’s full of flavor. Yet, despite its quality and long-standing reputation, it doesn’t seem to be in great financial shape. It currently has 31 locations in five states: Arizona, California, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Washington, but we’re worried they may not last for financial reasons.

In 2023, Debtwire (via Restaurant Business) listed Black Angus Steakhouse among the many restaurants that are in financial trouble, and it looks like it could be on a path toward bankruptcy. Like so many restaurants, it had its fair share of temporary closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, some locations, like the one in Fresno, California, that had been open for 43 years, closed permanently that year. In 2023, American Restaurant Group, Inc., which owns Black Angus, underwent secured debt refinancing, which should help it repay loans under better terms. However, only time will show if it’s enough to prevent a repeat of the bankruptcies it had in 2009 and 2017. Despite the company saying that it doesn’t think it’s in danger of bankruptcy, its sales have declined around 29% between 2018 and 2023.
