Controversy has erupted over video footage showing presidential candidate Ronald F. Kennedy Jr. discussing the theory that COVID-19 was intentionally designed to target certain races and leave others alone.
He made the comments at a press dinner Friday about the coincident theory that COVID-19 is a biological weapon produced by a government.
“COVID-19: There’s an argument that it’s ethnically targeted. COVID-19 is disproportionately targeting certain races. COVID-19 is aimed at targeting Caucasians and other blacks. The most immune people are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” he said. .
“We don’t know if it was intentional or not, but there are documents that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact,” he added.

He also said Chinese Jews and Ashkenzai were the most immune to the coronavirus.

These comments have accusations of anti-Semitism by the media.
“Kennedy echoes well-worn anti-Semitic literature blaming Jews for the rise and spread of the coronavirus that began circulating online some time after the pandemic began,” the New York Post reported.
Jewish organizations punished Kennedy.
“It’s crazy. It doesn’t make sense for them to do that. I read everything. I was adamantly opposed to the vaccine. . . I tried to convince myself that it was okay not to take it. I’ve never noticed anything like it,” said Morton Klein of the right-wing Zionist Organization of America.
“The claim that COVID-19 is a biological weapon created by Chinese or Jews to target Caucasians and blacks is deeply offensive and fuels the sinophobic and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about COVID-19 that we have noticed evolving over the past three years,” the far-left Anti-Defamation League said.
Meanwhile, leftists rushed toward the Democratic presidential nominee.
“I’m desolado. @RobertKennedyJr wants hospital care. I speak like a friendly old acquaintance who admired his environmental work. He lost his mind,” Keith Olbermann tweeted.
“If you still believe that there is a left-handed or even non-crazy case to please RFK Jr. , then you have been deceived or deceived. Racist, conspiratorial and harmful madness,” MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan added.
Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson participated in the attacks on RFK:

But for Kennedy, his critics are profoundly mistaken.
In a tweet on Saturday, he denied having “suggested that the COVID-19 virus was aimed at saving Jews” and explained that he had just discussed a valid clinical study.
“I pointed out as it should be, in a confidential verbal exchange, that the United States and other governments are developing ethnically directed biological weapons and that a 2021 study on the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect races. “since The furin cleave’s mooring site is the most compatible with blacks and Caucasians and the least compatible with Chinese, Finns and Ashkenazi Jews,” he wrote.
“In that sense, it serves as a kind of evidence of concept for ethnically directed biological weapons. I do not imply and have never implied that the ethnic effect was intentionally designed,” he added.
He also connected with the one in question.

His followers also came to his defense, journalist Emily Austin.
“After speaking with RFK Jr. this morning, I’m very disappointed with the [New York Post] headline. Being Jewish REALLY anti-Semitism was not that,” he tweeted.
“He clarified to me this morning that he was talking about ethnic biological weapons and simply said that the Cleveland Clinic study showed that SARS-COV2 affects some ethnicities more than others. Number 1 is other people of African descent. It is the least compatible with the Finns. This is what he said he reported through the media (as usual) and P. S. is a great best friend to Israel @RobertKennedyJr,” he added.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens defended RFK.
“This is your reminder that virtually everyone in the media is dishonest and baselessly demanding to label everyone as anti-Semitic or anti-Black racist,” he tweeted.

In other tweets, RFK also criticized the Post for exploiting its “OFF RECORD conversation” to smear it, noting that this is another example of the mainstream media’s dishonest playbook.
