RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews
Except not.
“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,” Kennedy hedged.
As usual, the New York Post is being absolutely pathetic.
He says that it targets blacks and whites. Now what country is full of whites and blacks?
You're both right. Not sure why people are jumping on AoV here, when all he said was that that's not what RFK said. And he's correct. RFK did not say what the Post headline is painting.
Whether or not this was "ethnically targeted to spare Jews" is, at least as far as the discussion on the headline goes, irrelevant to this conversation. Because the claim is that RFK said something, when he didn't. Ethics in journalism, right?
What is the nuance you see between these two statements:
“COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy said. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” -rfk jr
RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews -NYPost Headline
Obviously the headline is his statement boiled down to its most “triggering” elements, but he did basically say that imo.
One is a suggestion, a line of inquiry. The other is a definitive statement. The headline does the latter, but the body repeatedly does the former twice right in the opening:
claiming the bug was a genetically engineered bioweapon that may have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.
Kennedy floated the idea
The thing about "antisemitism" is that its loudest opponents are always the most deliberate liars. They have to be, because their schtick requires that any opposition to any bad behavior by any Jew, or to any special treatment of any Jew, is to be treated like genocide.
The key word here is "deliberate." In any other hit piece, the writer might just be a retard. But when it comes to antisemitism, that need to exaggerate harm to comical levels means that there's no room for the benefit of the doubt. The whole thing is already an act, so you can't treat any part of the smear as incidental.

Do you know anything about
ACE2 receptors
The relative prevalence of ACE2 receptors between races and sexes
The interaction between ACE2 receptors and “the coof”
?

Nothing.
That explains your confident ignorance
This dumbass still thinks jabs work. He's like 10 steps down the ladder of ignorance.
