If we're talking about the same person then she was found to be 100% lying.

"The 27-page report from the Florida Department of Health’s Office of Inspector General said it found "insufficient evidence" or no evidence to support Rebekah Jones' accusations that she was asked to falsify Covid positivity rates or misrepresent them on the state’s dashboard she helped design. The report also "exonerated" officials accused by Jones of wrongdoing because they removed a data section from the website to ensure that private individual health information was not released publicly."

I'm not personally aware of any such laws other than the Parental Rights in Education act, which was incorrectly and inflammatorily labeled "don't say gay." If it's just that law you're basing this accusation on then sorry, I don't agree.
Quote:The man who threw a hissy fit because Disney wouldn't fall in line behind him and threatened to drop a billion dollars of debt onto a *once again* blue county who voted against him anyways so the political ramifications would be minimal despite sinking his constituents in debt (small government everybody!).
I have zero issue with playing the political game with a company playing the political game. You want special treatment from a state legislature, then don't be shocked when you lose said special treatment after publicly shit talking said legislature.
Quote:A person who refused to act on Covid despite the population of his state was being ravaged by it because the heat could beat it (thus, DeathSentence).
Yeah **** that guy.
Given Florida's population skewing elderly, for obvious reasons, I don't see their Covid death rate, lower than Washington and the same as Massachusetts as some crazy example of horrible executive action. I can see such an accusation of Cuomo, who deliberately housed Covid patients with that most at risk group, but I'm not seeing that with DeSantis, although I may not be aware of some information that you are. I'll certainly allow for that.

I would stress that Covid's mortality rate is highly linked to age, the older the person the far more likely they were to die from Covid. So, we can logically extrapolate that a state with a higher elderly population would experience more deaths than one with a lower elderly population regardless of any action taken. I don't think this absolutely exonerates DeSantis, but it does provide some very important context.
All that being said, I don't see your labeling him as "Deathsentence" to be a justified conclusion.
