State police raided the home of a former Department of Health data scientist who is accusing Florida officials of wrongfully firing her for refusing to manipulate COVID-19 statistics.
Rebekah Jones, a vocal critic of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ handling of the pandemic, tweeted a video of agents entering her home Monday morning with guns drawn.
“They took my phone and the computer I use every day to post the case numbers in Florida, and school cases for the entire country,” she wrote. “They took evidence of corruption at the state level. They claimed it was about a security breach. This was DeSantis. He sent the gestapo.”
Florida police raid COVID data whistleblower’s house with guns drawn
You may remember Miz Jones from back in May when she was fired from her job at the Florida Department of Health for insubordination and fudging with the virus data brought to her by the real scientists. She was lauded by the Media as brave scientist who stepped forward and refused to cover for DeSantis lies, but ended up that she was only a geographer working basically as data entry person in the department’s website. She is also accused of being a cyberstalker to an ex-boyfriend and affidavit of probable cause is here for all to read.
And now it seems she has been illegally accessing the Department of Health’s internal notification system and sent around 1,750 messages urging people to come forward with … no idea, I guess bad stuff to use against DeSantis. Basically, she allegedly hacked the system and by the looks of it, she did not good a good job covering her tracks.
Wait for her to become once again the Media Darling facing the tyrannical hordes sent by DeSantis to silence her “truth.”
