Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attempted to walk back his conspiratorial insinuations that the coronavirus was genetically tailored to spare the lives of Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews while endangering other races.
The New York Post released footage from the raucous press dinner held last week by the longshot Democratic Party candidate known for his various conspiracy theories. In a tangent about how the U.S. and China have funded the creation of “ethnically-targeted microbes,” Kennedy asserted “there is an argument that [Covid] is ethnically targeted. Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately.”
“The races that are most immune to Covid-19, because of the genetic structure and the genetic differentials among different races,” said Kennedy. “Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. We don’t know if that was deliberately targeted or not, but there are papers out there that show the ethnic and racial differential in the impact to that. We do know the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions developing ethnic bioweapons and we are developing ethnic bioweapons.”
Following the Post’s publication of these comments, Kennedy released a Twitter thread objecting to their headline of how he claimed Covid was “targeted to spare Jews.” He also slammed the outlet for releasing an “OFF-THE-RECORD conversation to smear me by association with an outlandish conspiracy theory.”
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. 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.

Kennedy previously faced uproar for invoking the Jews when he claimed that vaccine mandate opponents had it worse than the Jews who hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust. He wound up apologizing for those remarks.
