RFK Jr. Suggests COVID Designed to Go Easy on Jewish, Chinese People

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. floated a theory this week, suggesting COVID-19 was manufactured to attack certain races/ethnicities, and to skip others … including Jewish people.

The Dem presidential hopeful was at a dinner in NYC Friday when he made the inflammatory comments — which were actually caught on camera and published by the NY Post. In the clip, RFK Jr. starts out by talking about bioweapons, and then moves on to the virus.

He says there’s evidence backing the notion that COVID was designed to be “ethnically targeted,” adding there are studies that show it hit certain demographics harder than others.

As he explains — to the clear discomfort of others around him — COVID was allegedly more prone to latch onto and “attack” Caucasians and Black people because of their genetic makeup … but then says Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese folks are the most immune to it.

The guy hedges things a bit by saying it’s unclear if the virus was purposely designed to act in this way, but it seems clear he’s trying to entertain a conspiracy theory here — and a lot of people have called his remarks antisemitic and racist. And yet, RFK Jr.’s defending himself.

He said NYP was mistaken, adding, “I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews.”

RFK Jr. went on … “In that sense, it serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons. I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered.” He linked to a NIH study about genetic susceptibility pertaining to COVID.
