Just when you thought RFK, Jr. couldn't get any more irresponsible than he's already been . . .

There is this, from the NY Post:

RFK Jr. says COVID may have been ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dished out wild COVID-19 conspiracy theories this week during a press event at an Upper East Side restaurant, claiming the bug was a genetically engineered bioweapon that may have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.

[ . . . .]

“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.”

“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.

First, there is NO evidence that the coronavirus was engineered as a bio-weapon.

Second, there is no evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are "immune" to Covid-19! Here in NYC, the Hassidic Jewish community (who are Ashkenazi) was hit especially hard by the pandemic. And a study by Brandeis University done relatively early on, when the death toll stood at 200,000, found that the mortality rate for Jews was roughly the same as for any other group.

Third, given that, historically speaking, people have often tended to believe completely baseless conspiracy theories about Jews, for any presidential candidate to pander to this kind of thinking is beneath contempt! This country's Jewish population has made monumental contributions to this country, all across the arts, sciences and humanities -- contributions that far exceed what one would reasonably expect given their relatively small numbers!

The man is a horse's ass, and embarrassment to the Democratic Party, to his family, and to the country as a whole!

1. Is there some kind of Olympics for imbecilic comments?

2. RFK Jr's purpose is so that when we point out something crazy TFG says, they can say "Whatabout..."

And the media can say "There are extremists on both sides".

3. Where's his family? They need to conduct an intervention.

The man is sick.

4. If they could genetically target that well, many serious diseases would have been eliminated already

RFK Jr. is as full of it as Don Jr.

7. We're getting pretty good at genetic targeting

It's pretty interesting stuff, and the future of pharmacology will involve a lot of tailor-made drugs and therapies unique to the individual patient to reduce adverse effects and perhaps allow for lower therapeutic doses.

Ethnic bioweapons have been theorized by identifying similar gene sequences among groups. However, it's in the realm of theory.

The only time I've heard arguments it's actually possible/happening have been . . . during anti-Semitic conspiracies. Everyone please hold their shock.

He's not a democrat, he's a Steve Bannon plant attempting to gaslight swing voters. They can all fuck off and eat the steamiest bag of shit.

11. If plagues could be ethnically targeted, he and his ilk would be developing some to kill off the Jew

If plagues could be ethnically targeted, he and his ilk would be developing some to kill off the Jews, blacks, non-Christians, the 'wrong' kind of Christians and more as they hate them.

If they could actually do it, they would re-classify new subgroups to hate.

Eventually...

He forgot to use the code words. The anti vaxxer conspiracy have been blaming it on globalist bankers since the start.
