“There has not been messaging put out about wearing masks or social distancing from the department of health since the end of September,” said Sun Sentinel reporter Cindy Goodman, who worked on the investigation.
“The Department of Health is putting out messaging such as be careful with lead poisoning, or get you flu shot or watch out for diabetes awareness month — anything but coronavirus.”
The findings are based on thousands of pages of documents and interviews with scientists, politicians, employees from the Health Department and doctors.
In this interview with "Sundial," Goodman and Mario Ariza, who also worked on the investigation, discuss their report.
