The conspiracy joins a list of other claims by the presidential candidate, including the suggestion at an anti-COVID-19 vaccine demo that life was more difficult today than it was for those attempting to flee Nazi Germany

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.
Here’s some data on all of that: https://www.jewishdatabank.org/databank/search-results/study/1114
