Ex-data scientist rips Florida governor after raid by state police: ‘They pointed guns at my kids’

On Monday, Rebekah Jones, a former Florida Health Department official who was fired after alleging coverups of COVID-19 statistics, and has been running a website tracking what she claims are the real statistics on cases, revealed on Twitter that police raided her home and seized electronics.

Ostensibly, the warrant was conducted because Jones hacked the Florida emergency alert system. Jones alleges the entire thing is retaliation by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis for blowing the whistle, and vowed that she would have a new computer and posting new updates by tomorrow.
