Florida’s Trump-like Governor Seeks to Arrest Scientist Whistleblower

The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, an aspiring Trump clone, continues his criminal assault on Rebekah Jones. And all because she had the temerity to speak the truth about the bogus Covid numbers being used by the State of Florida to cover-up their failure in fighting the pandemic:

Rebekah Jones, the fired data scientist in the middle of a lawsuit against Florida law enforcement, said Saturday that she would turn herself in for arrest the following night.

Jones was fired as data manager for the Florida Department of Health last May. She had claimed that she had been told to rig data to minimize COVID-19 in rural counties, in order to support Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ reopening plan. She said she refused.

Jones continued to maintain a web presence to publish her own competing COVID-19 stats and warnings. She said that a Florida Department of Law Enforcement raid on her home in December was retaliation for speaking out.

Jones is a brave person doing her duty as an American citizen. She needs our support. We have to stand up to the fascism that has taken over our government. Otherwise, we will see more people like Rebekah, who are attacked for telling the truth about their government:

“The state has issued a warrant for my arrest — even though the ‘crime’ is not related to the warrant,” Jones tweeted Saturday, referring to the December search warrant.

“To protect my family from continued police violence, and to show that I’m ready to fight whatever they throw at me, I’m turning myself into police in Florida Sunday night. The Governor will not win his war on science and free speech. He will not silence those who speak out,” she tweeted.
