Allegations the Florida Department of Health fired an employee because she objected to manipulating coronavirus data were"unsubstantiated," according to a state inspector general report.
The former state data scientist, Rebekah Jones, claimed she was pressured by health department officials to falsify Covid-19 data to hide the extent of Florida's outbreak in the early months of the pandemic. In a report finalized in March, the state inspector general's office said there was insufficient evidence to prove her claims and exonerated the employees accused of orchestrating a coverup.
