On Twitter last night, Rebekah Jones confirmed ...That she was not, in fact, asked to delete COVID deaths in Florida. In a now-deleted tweet, Jones wrote: “Deleting deaths was never something I was asked to do. I’ve never claimed it was.”
But Jones has claimed it....Jones has made the claim that she was instructed to edit the raw data over and over again. In February, she reiterated that “(Florida’s deputy secretary of health, Dr. Shamarial Roberson) asked me to change numbers and delete records to present a rosier picture of Florida’s pandemic than reality.” In April, she repeated her claim that “Roberson asked me to go into the raw data and manually alter figures.”
This week, though, Jones inadvertently confirmed that she did not, in fact, have the ability to do that. As part of the 10,000 word screed Jones wrote after my piece was published, she linked to a snippet of code that shows clearly that her dashboard did not interact directly with the state’s database, but instead utilized Excel files that other people at the Florida Department of Health had put on a network drive.
Or, put another way: Jones confirmed this week that she has been lying about the role she played in the department. And, once she’d done that, there was nothing that she could do except to back off her main claim. No direct access to the database means no ability to delete data from the database. No ability to delete data from the database means no claim that she was asked to delete data from the database. No claim that she was asked to delete data from the database means no scandal.

Never “asked”
Ok, were you TOLD to delete them?
Dr. Rebekah? PhD and health database engineer supreme?
Such a loser to lie about something like this.
Jones is 100% nutjob. Really crazy. Stalker, too.
A real head case, this one.
Will she ever be prosecuted for telling these lies?
What are the odds?
I’m not talking about a terse letter put into her personal files!
What are the odds?"
Zero to none
I think you should change your handle from “Secret Agent Man” to “Get Smart.”
The point here is that Jones lied about the FL undercounting COVID deaths in an effort to attack DeSantis’s response and has now admitted she lied.
Is this the same person that said the police raided her home with guns drawn and were pointing them at her kids?
Sounds like she has a similar job to mine (except I don’t deal with COVID deaths); I receive spreadsheets of data from the database and can sort and delete them at will and can tell people ‘here’s the numbers’. The database itself isn’t touched, but what I give out can be manipulated.

Has she been ARRESTED??
DeSantis needs to dump as many liberal bimbos as is legally allowed... they lie, they cheat, they make excuses, they're disgusting... and one day they'll turn to him and say, 'I felt uncomfortable once when YOU were in the room'... DUMP THE LIARS WHILE YOU CAN.
