Fla. police raid home of American COVID-19 whistleblower

[52051]

Law enforcement authorities in Tallahassee, Fla., raided the home of a data scientist on Monday who had been fired by Gov. Ron DeSantis after refusing to manipulate numbers.

In the months since her firing, Rebekah Jones has continued to publish coronavirus statistics independently, while also issuing warnings on Twitter and cable news. DeSantis, meanwhile, has continued to downplay the severity of the epidemic, which has killed nearly 20,000 Floridians.

Jones posted video of Monday’s raid, which was conducted by Florida state police on Monday morning. She said that the state police “took all my hardware and tech,” for which they obtained a warrant following a Department of Health complaint.

“They pointed a gun in my face,” Jones said in her message, which was shared by thousands of people. “They pointed guns at my kids.”

In a second message, Jones described how the state police “took my phone and the computer I use every day to post the case numbers in Florida, and school cases for the entire country.”

Obviously, the U.S. government does not allow certain people to release real pandemic infection data, which will cause the fake U.S. government data to be highlighted.
（This is a common logic used by western media to criticize China）

American need to look into mirror of themselves before they speak.
