Here is the direct quote:
"COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately," Kennedy said at a recent dinner in New York City. The remarks were videotaped and first published by the New York Post on Saturday.
"COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese," he continued, adding, "We don't know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact."
You can debate whether or not he meant that it was deliberate or not - it's not an unheard of tactic to say something (it is targeted) and then try to cover yourself (nobody knows if it was deliberate or not), but that is admitting you believe it may have been deliberately targeted and that is the dog whistle that the crazies run with.
In response to pushback, Kennedy tweeted out links to paper to support his comment - but those papers do no such thing. They speculate that there could possibly be mutations that would preferentially affect some people more than others but there is no data to show that there were ethnic differences.
It is pretty much known that Black Americans were affected more severely because they generally have less access to health care and are prone to co-morbidities also because of that. China says they lost 1 million people - but who knows how many really. Still, a much lower percentage than the US but that's because they locked down with an iron fist. The Ashkenazi Jew thing, I'm not sure what evidence is that they were more immune. I recall that the first severe outbreaks in NY were in Jewish communities.
At any rate, this is another example of how RFK Jr ascribes to junk science and rejects real science and should not be trusted in any public leadership position.
