Police Raid Home Of Fired Florida COVID-19 Data Whistleblower [1]
"DeSantis "sent the Gestapo": Video shows FDLE agents with guns drawn at home of woman fired over COVID-19 data."
"State police brandishing firearms Monday raided the Tallahassee home of Rebekah Jones, the former Department of Health data scientist who built the state's much-praised COVID-19 dashboard before being fired over what she said was refusing to "manipulate data."
"They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids," Jones tweeted shortly before 5 p.m.
Jones — who launched her own COVID-19 dashboard after she was fired, and used crowdsourcing to raise money to support it — said the agents knocked on her door around 8:30 a.m. that morning, took all her "hardware and tech" after showing her a warrant based on a complaint filed by the Florida Department of Health."
