I used to work at the Florida Department of Health (I was an unpaid intern). While I was there Rick Scott shut down a state population atlas project because it was exposing health disparities in minority populations. This woman is my hero. Fuck Florida.

Well, the novel 1984 begins with the protagonist accidentally seeing a picture that contradicted the official state narrative, and knowing that alone would prompt severe punishment.

Oddly, in the real 1984 (ie: 2020), that doesn't really seem to be a problem. People just don't believe the picture.

Here's a recent piece doubting her legitimacy:

Rebekah Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn’t | National Review


The former dashboard manager alleges a vast data conspiracy in Florida; not a word of it is true.



from a conservative outlet, if I read this correct.

I mean, even if her legitimacy is in doubt, it doesn't undermine the fact that DeSantis has fudged Florida's Covid numbers.
