WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (PNN) - April 18, 2025 - In an explosive episode of Focal Points, two fearless attorneys from Vires Law Group - Rachel Rodriguez and Mimi Miller - are leading a historic legal effort to hold top public health officials accountable for their actions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rodriguez, founder of the Vires Law Group in South Florida, entered the fight through early litigation against mask and vaccine mandates. Miller, a former criminal prosecutor, joined Rodriguez in 2023. Together, they have now filed seven criminal referral requests to Attorneys General across the Fascist Police States of Amerika accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci and top COVID-19 officials of serious crimes such as murder, racketeering, fraud, abuse and terrorism. These efforts have already resulted in two active criminal investigations.
The Accused:
Dr. Anthony Fauci – Former Director, NIAID
Dr. Cliff Lane – Deputy Director, NIAID
Dr. Francis Collins – Former Director, NIH
Dr. Deborah Birx – Former White House COVID Response Coordinator
Dr. Rochelle Walensky – Former Director, CDC
Dr. Stephen Hahn – Former Commissioner, FDA
Dr. Janet Woodcock – Principal Deputy Commissioner, FDA
Dr. Peter Hotez – Dean, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine
Dr. Robert Redfield – Former Director, CDC
Dr. Peter Daszak – President, EcoHealth Alliance
Dr. Ralph Baric – Professor, University of North Carolina
Dr. Rick Bright – Former Director, BARDA
Administrators of various hospital systems and care facilities.
The Vires Law Group is seeking state criminal investigations into the aforementioned individuals. The charges outlined include:
1) Terrorism
Under many state laws, terrorism includes committing crimes to coerce or influence government policy or civilian behavior. The attorneys argue that public fear was deliberately manufactured to increase uptake of vaccines, drive compliance and suppress dissent - via manipulated death counts, relentless fear-based media messaging and denial of early treatment.
2) Murder and Involuntary Manslaughter
Patients were knowingly given lethal treatments such as remdesivir - despite it being pulled from an Ebola study for causing over 50% mortality. Families were denied the right to refuse treatment, and ventilators were used despite overwhelming evidence of fatal outcomes.
3) Aggravated Assault and Lack of Informed Consent
Patients were subjected to medical procedures - ventilators, remdesivir, and even COVID-19 vaccines - against their will or without informed consent. This constitutes unlawful bodily harm under most state statutes.
4) Racketeering (RICO)
The team alleges this was a coordinated scheme for profit - fueled by CARES Act incentives and PREP Act immunity - where hospital administrations financially benefited by complying with federal protocols at the expense of patient lives.
5) Abuse of Vulnerable Adults
Victims were elderly or incapacitated, often denied food, water, vitamins and family visitation - all while eing isolated and coerced into fatal treatment pathways.
6) Scope and Strategy
While the larger COVID-19 response is under scrutiny, the petitions focus specifically on hospital homicides - where the legal case is strongest and where witnesses (survivors and next-of-kin) are actively seeking justice.
By targeting state-level criminal codes, the team bypasses federal hurdles and builds strategic, streamlined cases with clearly defined jurisdiction and causality.
The goal: create a roadmap for local prosecutors to pursue charges without being overwhelmed or confused by federal overlap or civil legal complexities.
Two states have already opened active criminal investigations - though confidentiality laws prevent disclosure of details.
Over 200 victim cases are already included across the seven petitions, with many more expected to be added. These include next-of-kin statements, medical records, and evidence of systemic wrongdoing.
Former nurses, doctors and hospital staff have come forward, risking their licenses and careers to expose the abuse, forced protocols and fatal policies they witnessed firsthand.
