Parrish Medical Center CEO George Mikitarian posted a scathing official statement on Facebook in response to Brevard Public School Board Member Matt Susin misrepresenting data published by the hospital at the emergency school board meeting yesterday. Susin presented the data in an attempt to justify his position in opposition of wearing masks in school by children.
This isn’t the first time Matt Susin had to be corrected by healthcare professionals for stating inaccurate information during school board meetings for drawing incorrect conclusions from information he doesn’t understand, and then presenting it as evidence to support his positions.
Brevard County School Board member Jennifer Jenkins did a quick fact check at a previous meeting correcting a viral conspiracy based on a CDC lab alert.
As WMFE’s Joe Byrnes reports, the controversy arose as the board questioned Health Department staff over Covid trends and mitigation.
