I think given DeSantis’ behavior and pretty clear pandering to the anti-vaxers, and anti-maskers, it would not be shocking to learn that his administration worked to misrepresent (minimize/undercount) the deaths from COVID. But, I would say that as of right now, I know of no proof that the numbers are being manipulated.

Reason: Incomplete thought
Herd immunity is nearly impossible without a vaccine. It does not happen naturally. At best some sort of equilibrium would be reached where the number of new cases matches nearly the number of new people being born, and the thing hangs around forever seizing targets of opportunity, like a predator.
If people had realized this last year we could have handled this disease a lot better than we did.

What happened with the Spanish Flu that last from February 1918 to April 1920 (or 1917 in Trump's version). How did it eventually go away if it wasn't herd immunity?
Jones, who was responsible for building the COVID-19 data dashboard for the Florida Department of Health, was fired last year after raising concerns about “misleading data” being presented to the public, according to the complaint, which was reviewed by the Miami Herald.
In the complaint, filed July 17, 2020, Jones alleged she was fired for “opposition and resistance to instructions to falsify data in a government website.” She described being asked to bend data analysis to fit predetermined policy and delete data from public view after questions from the press — actions she claimed “represent an immediate injury to the public health, safety, and welfare, including the possibility of death to members of the public.”
This has been an interesting tale to say the least.

Hanging onto a lie is the same as Russia-Russia-Russia
The Jones case is revealing she's a loon. Quit bringing up what isn't true... you're promoting a LIE. She is Florida's equivalent of Jesse Smollet and she makes stuff up.
Her civil case was denied, don't create a rabbit hole.
The data reported is accurate and true. No state is lying except NY and the genocide gov. Cuomo.

Why must Gov. DeSantis's position be described as pandering? He's upholding EXISTING rights of individuals.
You calling his protection of our constitutional rights pandering is hyperbole and a false narrative. His position is main line conservative/republican voters, in line with the RPOF and the RNC.
"Cases" don't matter. The vaccine works to prevent serious illness among the vaccinated. Is DeSantis a dictator? If not, he can't mandate vaccinations.
Less than 1/2 of Florida's population is vaccinated. Given that, more cases absolutely matters. That means no mandates by DeSantis is directly harming his citizens. A governor's job is to take care of the citizens he represents. DeSantis needs to do that job.
