3:47Now PlayingAn audit conducted by the state of Florida has revealed that officials in the state under-counted the total number of COVID deaths by THOUSANDS. This is actually consistent with what had been alleged in the state since the beginning of the pandemic, even though the state released a report recently saying that there was "no merit" to whistleblower claims that they were ordered to alter COVID data. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

About a week or so ago, the state of Florida came out and said that, uh, through the inspector General's office for the health department of Florida, they said the whistleblower Rebecca Jones, who said that she was ordered to falsify data about COVID numbers here in the state of Florida. Totally. Without merit, that's got no merit at all. We don't believe it didn't happen. Sorry, Rebecca, try again. But then this week, something interesting happened. See, the state of Florida's audit auditor general came out with their own report. And you know what that report said, it said that the state of Florida intentionally undercounted both the number of COVID deaths and the number of COVID cases in the state during the same time period that Rebecca Jones says the state was telling her to alter the data. Huh? right. I'm sure that's just a wacky coincidence. You know, the O the inspector general saying, no, we can't find any merit to her claims.
Then the auditor general saying, yeah, the state totally lied about COVID numbers. So which one is it? Let me read this. This is from truth out regarding this new report state contracted labs, for example, failed to return results for around 60% of the tests that were administered during that eight month period from March to October of 2020 of the results that were returned, many didn't include critical demographic information, failing to record a person's ethnicity, 60% of the time, and failing to account for their race. More than half of the time. Auditors also found that the state didn't conduct contract tracing for 23% of the positive cases that identified put another way, close to one in four Floridians who tested positive for coronavirus during the early months of the pandemic were never told they had the virus in their systems. The audit concluded even when people were notified of their positive results, many weren't alerted until well after they got tested in some cases more than a week after they got tested, the audit also found that Florida officials had undercounted deaths in the state more than 3000 additional COVID 19 related deaths were reported by physicians then were on the state's official list of total deaths during the first eight months of the pandemic.
Now, I don't know about you, but that to me, kind of sounds like Rebecca Jones may have been on to something.
Maybe, maybe she made it up, right? The state's telling us there's no merit to her claims, but now the state's telling us that the state did in fact cover up the total number of COVID deaths. Ron DeSantis government covered up the total number of two of COVID deaths. So maybe, maybe they weren't altering the data. Maybe they were just suppressing it. Maybe they were burying it. And speaking of burying it, where the hell is the media on this story, this kind of seems like an important thing because Ron DeSantis is out there almost every day, telling the rest of the country look how great Florida did with the pandemic. We stayed open. We didn't have any bad side effects. Our economy is kick and. It's not by the way, actually the most unaffordable
