NEW: Ramaswamy Called to “Segregate” the Country Based On COVID Vaccine Status

New reporting from the AP details how Vivek Ramaswamy and his company pushed to “segregate” the country based on vaccine status during COVID. Despite his company making billions from the COVID-19 vaccine, Ramaswamy has since “taken steps to distance himself from” his record on COVID, even paying an editor to “scrub” details about it from his Wikipedia page.

More here on Ramaswamy’s pandemic record that he’s trying to erase:

Associated Press: 

• As CEO of Roivant Sciences, the biotechnology research company he founded in 2014, Ramaswamy “worked with the lieutenant governor as an adviser on COVID-19” during 2020, he wrote in a 2021 op-ed. The lieutenant governor at the time, Republican Jon Husted, is now a U.S. senator running for reelection. He was a regular participant alongside Acton and DeWine at Ohio’s daily virus briefings.
• One of Ramaswamy’s companies, Datavant, even pushed for a national COVID registry that would be used to allow the small segment of the population that was gradually gaining natural COVID-19 immunity to “get back to normal life” while facilitating the rest continuing to be “segregated.”

• Yet since he entered politics for the 2024 presidential race, Ramaswamy has taken steps to distance himself from those days. In early 2023, he stepped down from the Roivant board and paid an editor to scrub a reference to his service on Ohio’s “COVID-19 Response Team” from his Wikipedia page.

• His campaign referred questions about his time at Roivant to the company, which did not respond to an email seeking comment.
