RFK Jr.: COVID-19 "ethnically targeted"

During a press dinner on Tuesday, 2024 Democratic presidential candidate and COVID-19 conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. allegedly made comments stating his belief that "COVID-19 may have been deliberately created as an 'ethnically targeted' bioweapon designed to spare Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews," according to New York Post. 

Engaged in a back and forth while seated at the restaurant Tony's Di Napoli on East 63d Street in NYC, Kennedy is said to have backed up his claims saying, "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," going on to warn of "more dire biological weapons in the pipeline with a '50% infection fatality rate' that would make COVID-19 'look like a walk in the park.'"
