Last Thursday, Ohio state Rep. Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester) made a bizarre X post contending that her oldest son does not sleep with vaccinated women.

Responding to a post warning that procreating with a guy who has taken “the fake vax poison” increases the chance of “birth defects” and “mental retardation” (all false), Gross commented that her son is not interested in women who have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ohio state Rep. Jennifer Gross’ (R-West Chester) X post from Jan. 18, 2024.

Gross was first elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2020, and she has routinely espoused ani-vaccination rhetoric. While sponsoring a bill to roll back vaccine requirements in Ohio, Gross compared proof of vaccination requirements to Nazis forcing Jewish people to wear yellow badges during the Holocaust.
