That appears to be true for the paper, but not to the statements attributed to RFK Jr., which uses language that is much stronger in terms of racial targeting.

That appears to be true for the paper, but not to the statements attributed to RFK Jr., which uses language that is much stronger in terms of racial targeting. A quote directly attributed to him makes that clear: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/15/us/politics/rfk-jr-remarks-covid.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/15/us/politics/rfk-jr-remark... I don't think what RFK Jr. is really related to the paper at all; whether it is peer reviewed and of high quality is irrelevant. It's his interpretation of it that matters in this case. As a reminder, RFK Jr. has also said HIV may not cause AIDS, cell phones cause cancer, and believes his father and uncle were killed by the CIA. let's not pretend RFK Jr is not what he is, or that he didn't say what he said. His own wife and several other family members have come out and said that his statement was reprehensible.
