You may have not heard the name, but I am sure you heard by now about how Florida’s Governor fired a top notch scientist who refused to cook the numbers for the state’s Covid-19 website to hide the real number of deaths and make him look good… or some narrative like that.

Ms. Jones is the new heroine stepping in front of the evil Republican’s in defense of the little people. We owe her a debt of gratitude and yada-yada-yada. Except the narrative was carefully crafted by her and the media bought it hook, line and sinker because it fit its political leanings. One outlet, the Tallahassee Report, did some digging and publishes and incredible article: Rebekah Jones’ firing is the COVID clickbait the media dreams of – but it’s all fake.

Rebekah Jones is not a top notch scientist, or at least not in microbiology and not even in any medical field. He doctorate is in geography. That begs the question why a Geography doctor is doing website work like some regular designer? Oh no, she is not the “architect” of the website because she did not designed it: It is a commercially available product by a third party and you only have to enter the data and adjust the look. Fellow bloggers using one of the several blogging platforms will understand immediately,  Hell, you may have even seen commercials online showing you how easy is to create your own website in minutes.

Ms Jones was not fired for refusing to hide data but for insubordination and a history of not following the orders given to her by her superiors. In fact, she seemed determined on ignoring the data brought to her by the real scientists and make corrections to make sure the output was correct.

I urge you to read the whole article I linked above for  more details. But I want to focus on a small detail that was mentioned yesterday by DeSantis: That she has a criminal history.

Jones also has an extensive criminal history in Leon County, where she’s been arrested and charged with three felonies, including one for robbery, and a handful of misdemeanor cases including “sexual cyberstalking,” a case where she created a website and used it to sexually harass her ex-boyfriend. The website has been taken down, but images from the case exist in Leon County court records.

I found the affidavit of probable cause her arrest for cyberstalking and it does not paint a pretty picture.  In fact she appears to be a spiteful & revengeful human being, willing to do anything to win and exact payback.  She created a Revenge Porn website against a former boyfriend and dedicated herself to stalk him and harass him to the point he had to get the police involved.

Psycho Chicks: we all have dated one, or so says the meme?.

And it gets interesting:

This one shows a bit of the inside of her mind:

In the affidavit, she claims that her story piqued the interest of a couple of publications who asked her for a full article.  After reading the above, it is not hard to imagine why she sent the emails she did after she got fired with the self-aggrandizing victimhood twist in them. The Media bought her line of BS and made he look like a hero.

Of course, the truth will have little influence in the DeSantis haters.  I saw one in Facebook commenting that she knew Florida had numbers as bad as New York City, but it was the Republicans fucking with the numbers. When I asked that, if true, what did the Governor did with the 13,000+ corpses that we must have had if the numbers were the same. 48 hours later I am still waiting for an answer.
