It’s official.

Rebekah Jones, the fired Florida Department of Health dashboard designer, is NOT a whistleblower.

The walls have closed in.

In response to her defeat, Rebekah Jones records a video while she's driving.

She cries, falsely says that the report confirmed some of her allegations, falsely claims that the original investigator was fired, and promises to file a lawsuit anyway.

Rebekah Jones responds to the rejection of every single one of her false claims:

“VINDICATED.” Image
Rebekah Jones, who is officially NOT a whistleblower, posted an update to her GoFundMe to ask for more money.

Jones has received $285 in donations since the update.

CNN incorrectly refers to Rebekah Jones as a "state data scientist" but mostly gets the facts correct otherwise.

"The IG report did not examine Jones’s claims that the DeSantis administration covered up COVID-19 deaths."

Should have explained the reason why: She didn't allege it in her complaint.

Rebekah Jones, who is officially not a whistleblower, just posted this video on TikTok and Instagram.

1. Nobody has ever disputed that data was hidden for 24 hours then restored unchanged. It is not true that data was deleted. Jones is lying. Image
2. "Too close to call!" is not a quote from the report. If an allegation is not proven, that means that the allegation is not proven. Image
3. This is not a quote from the report. It's a quote from Rebekah Jones' response to the initial report, which is included in the final report.

Jones wrote this quote. ImageImageImage
4. The report is public. Rebekah Jones is mad at Marc Caputo, who has repeatedly exposed Jones for making things up.

He wrote this: nbcnews.com/politics/polit… Image
5. The lead investigator was not removed. He left. Jones is claiming that this report vindicates her, but she also attacks it as corrupted by a mysterious unnamed force. Image

Mary Ellen Klas and Sarah Blaskey of the Miami Herald have spent two years promoting fired dashboard designer & alleged felon Rebekah Jones.

This is their cleanup attempt after the inspector general found no merit to her false claims: web.archive.org/web/2022052810…

Fact check THREAD: Image
The article does not refer to Rebekah Jones as any title besides "data expert."

Her title was "GIS manager."

Her role was presenting data on the dashboard.

The report made it very clear that Jones was not an expert and, moreover, often did not know what she was talking about. ImageImage
Being told to "hide" data was not a "claim"; it was a publicly known event that was reported at the time and was never denied.

She uploaded data without authorization. They took it down to make sure that it didn't contain private info, then restored it unchanged a day later. Image

It should be a no-brainer to fire the officers who refused to do their jobs and protect the children in Uvalde, right?

It took years to remove Scott Israel, the coward of Parkland, as Broward County Sheriff. Every Democrat voted against it.

And Israel got a backup job in Davie. Image
Ron DeSantis is the one who suspended Scott Israel.

0.4%.

That was the margin that led to the removal of Scott Israel, the human excrement who ignored every warning sign before the Parkland shooting, then did nothing to stop it as it was happening.

Your vote matters. Image
At least Scott Israel took responsibility for his failure to do his job that led to 14 dead children and 3 dead adults.

I'm kidding. He blamed Dana Loesch.

This is CNN.

THREAD: When Justice Barrett stood next to the president who nominated her after being sworn in, the usual suspects called it a fascist campaign photo op that delegitimated the Supreme Court.

Their outrage is always fake.

Jones made allegations, included some of them (but won’t tell us which) in a “confidential” whistleblower complaint, & gave it to the Herald, who selectively presents it.

Blaskey’s ongoing collaboration with Jones is a mockery of the whistleblower process & journalistic ethics.
“The allegedly confidential whistleblower handed us the full allegedly confidential whistleblower complaint so that we could write about it and tell you that she’s legit, but no, we won’t actually tell you everything that’s in it so you can judge for yourself.”
“I think it will become available via records request after the case closes.”

Or you can just, you know, post it. You have it.

The irony of the Miami Herald demanding transparency from others while stonewalling its internal affairs is rich.

SPECIAL THREAD

On June 4, the Miami Herald published an article: "What Rebekah Jones saw behind the scenes at the Florida Department of Health"

This is a thread about the piece's factual errors, opinions presented as facts, omissions, and distortions.

web.archive.org/web/2021061017…
The central problem with the 5000+ word piece is that it never thoroughly explains Jones' actual job description and responsibilities, among other things.

It reads like a first-person account with occasional interjections because it largely is: Jones serves as its main source.
The following words/phrases do not appear in the MH piece:

judge, IP address, cookie, probable cause, column, delete cases and deaths, Merlin, NEDSS, database, surveillance team, Geographic Information Systems, ESRI, ArcGIS, data system, personnel file, excess death, fudge, cook
