Ok, I think it’s a fact that covid affected races differently, but to say we don’t know if it was deliberate or not sounds fucking psycho! So did he think it’s controlling covid?
Yeah, it’s technically true, but only because different ethnic groups have different genetic resistances to pathogens. So there are some diseases, for example, that would be more severe for those of Jewish ethnicity than others. It really depends on the source of the pathogen and what groups of people were exposed to its during its rapid mutation and spread period.
I do love that he so credulously spreads the claim that Covid didn’t harm Chinese people. Who really is dumb enough to believe the CCP when they were claiming 0 deaths from Covid?
I don’t know if there’s literally any evidence or fully made up, but racial differences are always like “X was 15% less likely to cause severe disease in Y group” so regardless “Jews were spared” is 100% an anti-semetic lie.
Oh, 100%. There’s obviously non-biological factors as well, as others have noted in this comment section. The type of jobs that many members of the Jewish community have are more conducive to work from home and they were fully on board with masking and social distancing as a community. So those factors would also result in them, as a whole, having lower Covid rates in general.
And, of course, those actions are not universal in the Jewish community. For example, the Chasidic community was more likely to hold anti-vaccine, anti-masking, and other such views on Covid. And, thus, it’s unsurprising that they had much higher rates of Covid infection than the other Jewish communities. With over half of the entire Chasidic community getting Covid, compared to 7% and 10% in the Non-Orthodox and Modern Orthodox communities.

Genetics has far less impact on health disparity among race and ethnic groups than social determinants of health, things like acces to care, finances, living situation, etc. Relevant article from the Mayo Clinic - Why are people of color more at risk of being affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?
