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.

Cool story bro . . . Questions are "anti-Semitic" now . . .

And tell us, have you listened to the entirety of his remarks? Drop out, Marianne! You add literally nothing helpful to the discussion. Also, you still supporting Biden's imminent ground war w/ Russia?

Probably most of what he says is simply over your head.

To deliberately mischaracterize and/or bare false witness is an act of destruction. Those that align with destruction will meet with destruction and reveals the antihuman agenda MW aligns with🫵

Bad mouthing JFK Jr is a bad move, particularly in this instance. You’ve tumbled down from any moral high ground you had, with your comment. I hope it was out of ignorance, rather than joining the main stream charade.

You can't handle if someone mulls over an observed pattern which seems worth discussing over empirical evidence. As a scientist, that disturbs me. We should be doing research why certain groups seem to be shielded better than others to help those others. But not with your outlook

I do not support you or Kennedy. But I could at least live with RFK Jr. beating out someone like Trump or DeSantis. I'll never unite with the likes of you or your ilk which have no regard for the U.S.Constitution.

Not the only study. This has been known for over 3 years now.
