Rebekah Jones is officially a whistleblower under Florida law, the Office of the Inspector General told her attorneys Friday.
Jones, who was responsible for building the COVID-19 data dashboard for the Florida Department of Health, was fired last year after raising concerns about “misleading data” being presented to the public, according to the complaint, which was reviewed by the Miami Herald.
In the complaint, filed July 17, 2020, Jones alleged she was fired for “opposition and resistance to instructions to falsify data in a government website.” She described being asked to bend data analysis to fit pre-determined policy and delete data from public view after questions from the press — actions she claimed “represent an immediate injury to the public health, safety, and welfare, including the possibility of death to members of the public.”
On Friday, the Office of the Inspector General informed Jones that “the information disclosed does meet the criteria for whistleblower status as described by ... Florida statutes,” according to the email obtained by the Herald.
Whistleblower status offers Jones certain protections under Florida law, including the potential for reinstatement or compensation should the ongoing investigation find the department retaliated against Jones for the concerns she raised last year.
It’s pretty huge,” Jones told the Herald in response to the news. “This isn’t vindication but this is a start. It’s a big push forward.”
The Florida Department of Health and the governor’s office did not immediately respond to the Herald’s response for comment.

Yes. Clearly psycho, with just enough good looks to be extremely dangerous to some guy who follows his crotch around. I guess “Fatal Attraction” isn’t a movie guys would watch now, but back then, it was not uncommon to hear many references to it.
This may be the best plot that his conspiring former employees have been able to come up with, in order to help the Establishment try to derail any possible DeSantis nomination.
It’s anything and everything by the media animals to tarnish DeSantis and Gaetz.
Akin to an indictment brought by a Gran Jury from a DA wanting to indict a ham sandwich. Looks good but tastes awful!
She’s a bunny boiler.
Hahaha...”Hairdressers, women named “Tiffany”...here you get your tires slashed, a bunny in the pot, and you end up in jail...”
Your admonishments to me are very correct. What you posted is hot! I ascribe my error to failing eyesight and age.
Have a good day friend. :)
Now go forward and sin no more…
(well, there’s that covet thing, but I think God understands or he wouldn’t have created hot girls in the first place)
Ah, but our honest and reliable masses (democrat-social-communist ) news media fact checked this whole thing and proved she was a fraud, didn’t they?
