Rep. Jennifer Gross, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, posted several tweets on August 28, 2025, addressing issues related to public health and industry regulations.

In one post at 16:05 UTC, Rep. Gross wrote, "Important to know. https://t.co/EysSHrJRpj".

Shortly after, at 16:07 UTC, she shared another message stating, "This was fun! https://t.co/ONXJyxe7wA".

Later that day at 16:16 UTC, Rep. Gross commented on changes in liability protection for pharmaceutical companies and the presence of chemicals in food products: "What do you think changed? We know that liability protection of big pharma changed. We know our food has thousands of chemicals in it that we didn't have before. What else? I'm sure it's multifactorial, so MAHA needs to eliminate risk one at a time.

The reference to "liability protection of big pharma" alludes to legislative frameworks such as the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, which established certain legal protections for vaccine manufacturers against lawsuits involving vaccine injuries or deaths while also creating a compensation program for those affected ([source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2622699/)). Additionally, concerns about chemicals in food have been raised by various health organizations over the years regarding additives and their potential impact on public health ([source](https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/data-statistics/know-your-limit-for-added-sugars.html)).

Rep. Gross's mention of "MAHA," likely referring to the Medical Autonomy & Health Advocacy Caucus in Ohio, indicates ongoing legislative discussions about reducing risks associated with pharmaceuticals and food safety within the state legislature.
