Who did Ramaswamy save?
I have seen TV ads saying that Dr. Amy Acton shut down schools and businesses. This is a lie.
She did not shut down things; Gov. DeWine admitted that it was he, not she, who ordered shutdowns. Ramaswamy knows this but continues to attack her.
Have you forgotten how terrible the COVID-19 pandemic was? 1.23 million Americans died, more than during the 1918 influenza pandemic.
Our medical professionals labored valiantly, often without sufficient safety equipment for themselves. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were sickened by COVID-19, many with long COVID, and even now people are suffering vision problems with possible incurable effects.
While Acton was struggling
to save us, what was Vivek Ramaswamy doing? He was paying lobbyists $70,000 to lobby Washington for one of his companies. What did he do to assist in the battle against COVID? He is silent on this; apparently, he did nothing.
He continues to use attack ads against Acton but has not put out any information about what he will do for regular Ohioans (I am pretty sure he will do things for wealthy people and larger corporations) if elected.
There is a large discrepancy between what Acton did for Ohioans and what Ramaswamy has done, which is nothing, but he has received millions in campaign money from Musk.
