    1. @Trump! The Socialist destroyer fact lol when this story broke you Trump Humpers assumed she was an antimask COVID denier, you assumed she was publishing pro-Trump COVID data and so you all SUPPORTED her, commenting that the raid was “Deep State” and Fascism and Orwellian, etc effing etc…

      …BUT now that you know she was fired for NOT falsifying numbers to back DeSantis’ hands-off approach, and now that you know the raid was performed at DeSantis’ urging because she was steadfastly reporting ACTUAL death/infection rates, you Republican pukes pull a 180 and begin making up sexual predator LIES to discredit her.

      How pathetically TYPICAL.
      Republicans ARE the problem.

    2. @E J BS! You better take a look at those crooked democrats who cheated the elections. Florida didn’t have the fraud problem. Why should we have fraud covid numbers? Oh, because democrats are turning in the numbers.

  1. This search is infringing on her rights! I urge her to call an attorney immediately. She is well aware of how Donald trump mishandled Covid.

    1. @Go Fish you seem very very upset. You going to riot and burn down your own cities??? Again? For another 8 months?

    2. @T S it may be illegal, but withholding secrets from the american people in order to manipulate them is just a violation of our rights.

    1. @Tech ti The Trump–Ukraine scandal was a political scandal in the United States involving efforts by U.S. president Donald Trump to coerce Ukraine and other foreign countries into providing damaging narratives about then-2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden as well as misinformation relating to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Trump enlisted surrogates within and outside his official administration, including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other foreign governments to cooperate in supporting conspiracy

    2. @Harris Biden 2020 WON !!! There was no collusion whatsoever on the part of Trump. He just asked for information about a corrupt young man who was working for a corrupt energy company in the Ukraine. Basically, as commander-in-chief this is part of his responsibility is to keep American safe.
      I was riveted by the testimony by many officials who did not have any first-hand knowledge whatsoever about this. Clearly, Hunter Biden was on the board of that corrupt Ukrainian gas company. We have pictures of former VP Biden playing golf with the corrupt Ukrainian gas company. Even prior to the most recent USA election, Putin addressed the Russians on his normal Sunday television broadcast and said he can see nothing wrong with Hunter Biden working for the corrupt Ukrainian gas company. It appears that Putin was endorsing Biden’s.
      All of this was a big nothing burger. All of this was nothing more than a corrupt political impeachment by our party and then the Republicans came in to acquit him.

    3. @Harris Biden 2020 WON !!! You’re hitting all the correct talking points but you were very wrong. The Ukrainian thing was all about politics. If your panties are in a twist about Hunter Biden working for the corrupt Ukrainian gas company I bet they on fire because we know that VP Biden flew Hunter to China and introduced him to corrupt Chinese communist officials who gave Hunter $1 billion. Why did the Chinese communist give under$1 billion? What were they buying, influence?
      Glad you were so upset about corruption because we have it right here on our own party.

  2. These government police agencies have to try to be slicker than a 3rd grader when it comes to trying to set people up. This is so obviously a set up.

    1. And I bet nothing happens to help this women who was trying to do the right thing. If she doesn’t just end up in jail. Amarica, home of the free, right?

    1. @pk26pk26
      This non-communist Biden/Harris supporter’s only plan is to breathe a sigh of relief that we no longer have a moronic 🍊🍄💩 in the White House. I hope Biden’s plan is to stay someplace else while the WH is cleaned top-to-bottom for traces of Covid and bugs—both kinds.

    2. @pk26pk26 This is what the US has done since the advent of the internet. What do you think its purpose was?

    1. @Fahim Ahmad Also the healthcare industry is also very wasteful. The healthcare industry makes more money when they do multiple tests instead of one, which should be regulated. The us healthcare system is convoluted and complicated for no reason and US prices vary wildly too. The cost for an antibiotic may be 50 bucks at one place and time and be 150 bucks later. About 90% of people have some form of healthcare or Insurance and believe or or not about half of uninsured people either choose not to get insurance, which is understandable, or are unaware or do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid or healthcare from their employer. I believe we should not force people to get care, it’s bs if I get in an accident or something and I’m forced to go to the hospital, if I deem my health to be fine then I won’t go to the doctor. You should have an option to decide, hey I only go to 1 to 3 doctors every 6 months or 1 year I’m going to just pay for whatever care I want and need, and that be the end of the story. Forcing people to get insurance and forcing insurance companies to cover everything has driven up insurance costs and driven up the cost of regular care.

    2. @JJ Gamesworth Wrong again.
      Health care should be a right in the US. Not a “choice”. Drug companies should be held accountable for their pricing and marketing of drugs… take Purdue Pharma & their Oxycontin settlement, for example.
      Insurance companies (health or otherwise) needs strict regulation – in my experience, they fleece both their customers and providers to make a profit.
      And your health is NOT for YOU to determine. If u get covid-19 for example, u are a risk to the community. U have to quarantine and avoid spreading the virus… If u r in an auto accident, and u are in no shape to make medical decisions, they will be made for you… If u get cancer, whether u get treatment is up to you. now who pays for that treatment is up for grabs, but most people WANT the treatment but can’t afford it!
      Also, if u die in hospital care, your family can sue them & hold them liable… so there is THAT factor into costs as well.
      Health care is a complicated, crazy business. U don’t seem to grasp that reality that there is no quick fix…
      A lot of work, funding & new legislation + gov oversight needs to be established to make health care more affordable.

    3. @Fahim Ahmad At this point you’re just plain wrong, NO If I refuse to go to the hospital I should not need to go. No I shouldn’t be forced to get overpriced health insurance. This a big reason why healthcare in the US is so expensive, Americans have little to no choice on how they decide to pay for their healthcare. And they should let insurance companies decide with the customer what the customer needs and wants. If I decide to not get insurance and go to the doctor once or twice a year and pay my dentist and physician out of my pocket I should have a right to do that. No one should be forced to receive care unless you absolutely cannot answer a yes or no question. If you believe that about Covid then do you believe that about any other transferable disease? You’re telling me there is no quick fix but you don’t seem to understand there is no quick fix, you are the only who who suggested quick fixes. You essentially regurgitated what I said about hospitals and health insurance.

  3. Totally not intimidation, nope totally not, not at all.
    I’ve been following her since the start, she’s a brilliant young woman, a real patriot who’s just doing her job by giving the public access to real time data. This is yet another stain on Florida’s COVID record…

    1. apparently, she is “charged” with cybercrime of hacking into the florida government site about covid information illegally. BTW she is a scientist not a comp tech savvy so…

    1. At least it doesn’t have elderly dying in nursing homes like in Michigan, California and New York because of a liberal governor has deep ambitions of pandering to globalists and Communists.

  4. Now we’re starting to see typical Washington action here, people having their homes invaded by men
    pointing guns at them and their families, making things the way they want, power-trippers for President Trump.

  5. Fine example of Florida law enforcement. Whistleblowing public health officials in their home should always merit unholstered takedown. Good thing she was white

    1. Trump hit job on here , The Trump–Ukraine scandal was a political scandal in the United States involving efforts by U.S. president Donald Trump to coerce Ukraine and other foreign countries into providing damaging narratives about then-2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden as well as misinformation relating to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Trump enlisted surrogates within and outside his official administration, including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other foreign governments to cooperate in supporting conspiracy

  6. So that’s what we do now? Butthurt politicians using the police to extract revenge on their political rivals?

    1. LOL She hacked into the Florida public information warning system and posted info to it. That is illegal. There is a warrant and the data breach of the system was traced to the ISP of the computer at her home as stated in the warrant.

  7. This is Russian level authoritarianism.
    Wake up America, this is the beginning of the Republikkkan’s coup d’etat.
