Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic candidate for the presidential nomination, has faced accusations of antisemitism and racism after claiming in a video that the Covid-19 virus was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. Kennedy has a history of embracing conspiracy theories, including false claims about Covid-19 and vaccines, disproven links between vaccines and autism, and other unfounded theories. His latest comments have drawn criticism for perpetuating antisemitic tropes and promoting bigoted ideas. Scientists have dismissed his claims, and Jewish leaders and politicians have condemned his remarks. Kennedy has defended his statements on Twitter, further deepening his conspiratorial theories.
