Ohio state Rep. Nino Vitale (R) wrote a Facebook post this week urging people to “stop getting tested” for COVID-19 because it’s a “crazy” idea to create a “dictatorship.”
“Are you tired of living in a dictatorship yet?” Vitale asked. “This is what happens when people go crazy and get tested. STOP GETTING TESTED!”
“It is giving the government an excuse to claim something is happening that is not happening at the magnitude they say it is happening,” he added. “Have you noticed they never talk about deaths anymore, just cases? And they never talk about recoveries. They just keep adding to numbers they have been feeding us from over 3 months ago!”
Vitale’s remarks were shared with a graphic of Ohio counties where it will be required for people to wear masks.
