This tragic (sort of ) story doesn’t just involve Gregg Prentice, an official from Florida’s Hillsborough County Republican Party, which has been busy mobilizing members to protest coronavirus restrictions such as school mask mandates, dying from COVID. No, it also now involves his colleagues/friends who believe that there was some kind of conspiracy that led to their friend’s death. They believe that the hospital engineered Prentice’s demise and are spreading wild conspiracy theories.

According to a report from the Tampa Bay Times. Prentice was “illegally intubated and placed on a ventilator” without the consent of the family (as will happen in an emergency, with anyone, thankfully, though we don’t know if it’s true in this case. Medical personnel generally error on the side of safety rather than let someone die while waiting for word on yes or no) and that the virus was engineered, illegally. Outside certain licensed labs, engineering viruses illegally seems redundant.

Prentice entered Tampa General Hospital after experiencing “brain fog” and difficulty breathing, according to his friend, Jason Kimball. It was at that point that Prentice was placed on a ventilator and died the next day. Kimball took to Facebook to set the world straight:

On Facebook, Kimball wrote: “Tampa General Hospital ER and ICU doctors are criminals and murderers!!! They intubate everyone and stick them on a ventilator for NO REASON just ‘out of precaution’ as the doctor told me – WITHOUT consent from the family!!! Tampa General Hospital is evil.”

We have a genetically engineered virus spreading around Florida,” Kimball added. “We lost Gregg Prentice, a mentor to many in Hillsborough County, due to the engineered virus.”

Prentice, while alive, was a conspiracy theorist himself:

“I am just hearing that our County Administrator Mike Merrill has PROHIBITED gatherings of more than 50 people?!?!?!” Prentice wrote in March 2020. “What is his problem? How in the world does he take a CDC ‘suggestion’ and a Presidential ‘recommendation’ and turn it into a Merrill PROHIBITION?!?!? This kind of stupid isn’t limited to a single topic. And what are we going to do about it? He needs to be gone.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

There is a question as to whether the source of the virus can even be traced. The Hillsborough County Republican Party recently hosted anti-mask, anti-vaxx Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene at its annual fundraiser — a maskless indoor event that went against CDC recommendations. Prentice also recently appeared on a podcast during which the host referred to COVID-19 as a “plandemic” and said it was designed to “crush small businesses and consolidate power in the multinational corporations.”

Rest in some kind of peace. We feel for any minor children, the only truly innocent victims.
