On March 14, 2022, the Collective Action Solidarity Trust (The CAST) launched the 2022 Collective Action Lawsuit, addressing the alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic by the Bermuda Government. This unprecedented legal action combines a Representative Action under Bermuda law and a Class Action under U.S. law, inviting affected individuals and businesses to seek restitution for damages incurred due to pandemic protocols.

The Watson-Cannonier family maintains they possess natural immunity, supported by multiple antibody tests conducted over three-month intervals at Bermuda's King Edward Memorial Hospital.
