I strongly denounce comments made earlier this week by RFK Jr. implying that Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese were relatively "spared" by COVID-19, while Caucasian and Black people were specifically targeted. Whether intentionally or not, his remarks amplify sinister and unfounded notions that are both anti-Semitic and anti-Chinese.🧵

Kennedy’s “I’m only asking questions” use of the most anti-Semitic tropes is unacceptable. As a Jewish American candidate in the 2024 presidential race, I stand against this covert racism writ large. Such language serves only to divide us further at a moment when we need desperately to unite.

RFK Jr. airs antisemitic COVID conspiracies at flatulent fundraiser.

The New York Post has fresh details from the now-infamous dinner. Oh, no.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are parroting.

So you researched his statement extensively, you gathered references and evaluated the proofs, if any, and you determined the statements were, indeed, factually false, then? Or are you virtue signaling on a dog whistle?

There is significant room for improvement in the collection, reporting, and publishing of data describing ethnicity and/or race in the medical literature.

More context for you to share. Please stay honest.

The @nypost story is mistaken. 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. That study is here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3266…

This is pathetic. Remember Warren and the “Bernie said no woman can be President” debacle? Opportunism, dishonest, oligarchy-serving. Politics at its worst. I’m surprised you’re participateing in the same fake news smear tactic you decried (rightly) when it was done to you.

You guys are such a f-cking joke. We need to flush the entire DNC down the drain. Clowns and shills every last one of them.

Translation: Oh no! He's sharing data! Quick how can it be spun into race-baiting hysteria while ignoring any actual substantive points that I don't want to be questioned about ever as I prostitute my virtue around "antisemitism" while backing Nazis in Ukraine! PS - Buy my book!

What you mean to say is you will capitalize off the fake news for attacking your opponent with insulting insinuations. This shows your lack of character.
