Let's not be like Democrats and the Left! NO — that claim is not true. The story you quoted is part of a viral misinformation post that has been widely debunked by multiple fact-checking sources. Here’s what reliable reporting and fact checks show: ❌ The viral claim is false • There’s no evidence that a hospital director named Sharon Pease or Elena Vasquez publicly said that Alex Pretti was fired for inappropriate behavior. • The alleged article you referenced appears on a fringe website and contains fabricated details, including the wrong hospital and fake quotes. ✅ Verified facts about Alex Pretti • Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old intensive care unit (ICU) nurse working at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System at the time of his death. • Credible sources and people who knew him describe him as a dedicated nurse who cared for critically ill patients, not someone engaged in misconduct. • There is no record of him being fired, disciplined, or investigated for inappropriate behavior by any reputable news outlet or official statement. 🧠 Why the false story spread The claim originated from a fabricated article on a low-credibility website, and then circulated widely on social media. It used incorrect details (wrong hospital name, fake leadership quotes, and false allegations) to make an unsubstantiated narrative. In short: The specific story you quoted is not true — Alex Pretti was not fired due to complaints of inappropriate behavior, and there’s no credible evidence to support that claim.
