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.đŸ§”

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.

If Wuhan is in China wanted to spare Ashkenazi Jews and not all Jews😂 it is ridiculous. people are too emotional about what medical reports are stating. Ashkenazi Jews have resistant ACE2 receptors. Fact. OTH As a Jew I can see that Bobby stands happily next to Farrakhan a white race and Jew hater. That makes his statement immediately antisemitic

Imagine being upset a virus effects different people differently. How insensitive. Don’t talk about the differences or people may get offended by viral favoritism?? That’s like saying we can’t discuss lactose intolerance affecting more PoC because it might be anti European. SMH

Saying something about a theory isn't the same thing as being a proponent of it. The important point is that there is a real risk that things like that are taking place in these labs. Frankly I would be shocked if they weren't. Being against biological weapon development by the CCP isn't anti-Chinese. The Chinese people are not responsible for what the people who rule them do. As for the Jews, I don't think anyone has claimed they played any role in it. He was giving an example of asymmetrical effects, that's not the same thing as assigning some kind of blame to the entire group of people who might be less harmed. Note that less harmed is still being harmed. Let's get some perspective here. I don't think anybody wanted this.

If it’s true that kind of thing needs to be shut down. If it’s not true the world keeps spinning
