RFK Jr. addresses claims of COVID being 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longshot Democratic presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist, disputed a report claiming he said Covid-19 was ethnically targeted to spare Jews. In a video, Kennedy discussed bioweapons and claimed that Covid-19 disproportionately affects certain races, mentioning that Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people are more immune. Kennedy later clarified that he did not suggest the virus was deliberately engineered to spare Jews and that his remarks were not anti-Semitic. This is not the first time Kennedy has faced criticism for controversial statements, including implying that Anne Frank had more freedom than those living under vaccine mandates.
