Anti-Mask Florida Official Dies of COVID—and Takes GOP Software Secrets With Him
‘ILLEGALLY INTUBATED’


Surviving colleagues had to tell the FEC that Tampa’s GOP committee might be late with its filing, while others turned Gregg Prentice’s sudden death into a “murder” conspiracy.

Just a day after testing positive for COVID-19, a Florida Republican official who battled against mask mandates, attacked the vaccine, and railed at CDC officials has died in Tampa.

“Gregg’s software converted data from our Quickbooks software to supply the information needed by the FEC,” it states. “Unfortunately, Gregg passed away suddenly from Covid-19 on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021. Gregg did not share the software and instructions with our officers. We will have to enter the August data manually, and according to the information we have received from our FEC analyst, Scott Bennett, we may likely have to re-enter the data from our first 7 months of 2021.



.......................Friend Jason Kimball blames Tampa General Hospital for the 61-year-old’s death, alleging staff “illegally intubated” Prentice the day before he died. During a Sept. 13 Tampa City Council meeting, Kimball requested an investigation be launched. However, members of the City Council denied any wrongdoing or mistreatment from the hospital.

“My public comments are really going to be about Tampa General Hospital,” Kimball said at the council meeting. “There’s a dire situation going on right now... that I don’t think anyone is aware of, and I have firsthand knowledge of it. They’re intubating everyone entering Tampa General Hospital as a first line of action. They’re using fatality-treatment protocol, and I think that the city council really needs to do an investigation... They’re intubating people illegally... When you call 911 and you go to that hospital, you’re going into a bad situation.”....................................

2. How are these anti-vax, anti-mask a-holes different from ISIS suicide bombers?

They're killing themselves along with other people. Only big difference I can see is that they're slower and not as messy.

... "He purchased a pulse oximeter, which showed oxygen around 62 percent, so a doctor friend unwittingly advised him to go to the hospital, not knowing he was advising him to go on a ventilator," Kimball said. "He went to TGH; they intubated him and he passed away the next day at Tampa General Hospital." He called intubation "a high-fatality protocol" and called on the City Council to launch an investigation into the hospital's procedures ...
