Did Mr. Kennedy claim that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately engineered to spare Jews?
Below is a cut and paste from the Kennedy 24 for President website. I am posting this because I am finding many otherwise smart Jews, are very illiterate when it comes to simple Biology and the point Robert Kennedy Jr. was trying to make. The point is that yes viruses and bio weapons can be engineered to be population specific and target specific ethnic groups for a variety of malevolent goals. For instance If you were a racist CDC scientist, you could create a virus that would infect only black people from a certain region and sterilize them. If you were an anti Semitic scientist you could create a virus that only targets people with Jewish genes and kills them. Therefore all of this immoral research should be absolutely forbidden, and punishable with the most severe penalties in order to create deterrence. We all thought it had been long outlawed and banned since the time of Richard Nixon. The joke was on us though. They built a backdoor loophole into the bio weapons ban. In order to kosherize bioweapons research, you simply need to pretend that you are doing therapeutic and vaccine research. Instead of calling it Bio weapons research you call it Gain of Function research. You also pretend that your research is simply being done to protect the public in the unlikely event that a virus crosses the species barrier naturally.Or you could just lie and say that passaging Bat viruses through Humanized mice in a level 4 bio hazard lab is as natural as organic apple pie.

Did Mr. Kennedy claim that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately engineered to spare Jews?
No, Mr. Kennedy did not say
and did not mean to imply that Covid or the Sars-CoV-2 virus was
“targeted to spare Jews.” That mischaracterization of his remarks was a
malicious and inflammatory smear. Mr. Kennedy is a staunch supporter of
the state of Israel and all Jewish people.
The video in question was of him
speaking off-the-record about how the U.S. and other governments have
done research on ethnically-targeted bioweapons, as has been reported in
numerous mainstream outlets, as detailed in the timeline below. Media
should be focused on bioweapon statements from elected officials,
industry groups, and regulatory agencies rather than mischaracterizing a
few seconds of out-of-context video. Mr. Kennedy’s position is that
bioweapons research should be reined in immediately, and such research
should be designated as a prohibited activity under the international
treaty for biological disarmament.
Timeline of Ethnic Bioweapons Comments [1] :
- 1997: U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen referred to the concept of an ethnic bioweapon as a possible risk.
- 1998: Biological weapon experts considered such a "genetic weapon" plausible, and believed the former Soviet Union had undertaken some research on the influence of various substances on human genes.
- 2004: British Medical Association (BMA) considered bioweapons designed to target certain ethnic groups a possibility, and highlighted problems that advances in science for such things as "treatment to Alzheimer’s and other debilitating diseases could also be used for malign purposes."
- 2005: International Committee of the Red Cross stated "The potential to target a particular ethnic group with a biological agent is probably not far off. These scenarios are not the product of the Red Cross’ imagination but have either occurred or been identified by countless independent and governmental experts."
- 2008: US Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing entitled “Genetics and Other Human Modification Technologies: Sensible International Regulation Or a New Kind of Arms Race?” discussed how “...we can anticipate a world where rogue (and even not-so-rogue) states and non-state actors attempt to manipulate human genetics in ways that will horrify us.” [2]
- 2012: The Atlantic wrote that a specific virus that targets individuals with a specific DNA sequence is within possibility in the near future. They cite advances in personalized gene therapy as evidence.
- 2016: Foreign Policy suggested the possibility of a virus used as an ethnic bioweapon that could sterilize a "genetically-related ethnic population." [3]
-
2021: A study of the SARS-CoV-2 virus published in PubMed
shows that Covid 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. [4]
