CBS affiliate: Rebekah Jones' claims about Florida's COVID data just don't add uphttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2021/05/26/cbs-affiliate-rebekah-jones-claims-about-floridas-covid-data-just-dont-add-up-n392746Rebekah Jones is the resistance hero who claimed she was fired by Florida’s Department of Health after she refused to alter the state’s COVID data to make things look better than they actually were. To this day she still has a lot of fans and defenders even though her story doesn’t seem to hold up to much scrutiny.
...
Starting with Jones’ central claim, i.e. that she was asked to alter raw data on cases and deaths, CBS 12 echoes the point made earlier by (NRO reporter) Charles Cooke. Her former colleages say she never had access to that data in the first place, meaning it wouldn’t have been possible for her to change it.
...
Here’s how things actually worked according to people CBS 12 spoke with. Counties would send raw data on COVID cases and deaths to the state. The state would then collate that data and send a copy to Jones who would post it on the website. Even if she had tried to change what was posted, as she claims, someone who doubted the numbers could have compared that to the official state data or the county data it was based on to show the numbers were inaccurate. In short, this wouldn’t have worked because Jones couldn’t change the data in all the places it would need to be changed to make a cover-up work.
Nevertheless, Jones has single-handedly convinced hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people that Florida’s COVID data is unreliable. CBS 12 reports epidemiologists don’t see a problem with the data.
Proggies need to believe FL's Covid data is cooked because FL isn't conforming to the
mask-and-shutdown imperative and obstinately refuses to have a massives cases and deaths surge. That said, Trump is out of office, so Jones' usefulness is much diminished.
