Kennedy does not say where he gets his data from, but it is likely he is not completely making it up. He is just looking at studies for conformation bias. Like this one https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.04.21252931v1.full.pdf

He will read this: "The allele frequency of TMPRSS2 rs12329760 varies across different populations and is higher in East Asian and Finnish individuals (MAF

0.38 and 0.37, respectively) compared to south Asians (MAF 0.25) and Europeans (nonFinnish, MAF 0.23). The lowest frequency of the T allele is reported in Latino and Jewish Ashkenazi individuals." He will trumpet the results as 'proof' of a the potential for an ethnic-sensitive COVID virus. A massive stretch.

Worse, he will ignore the end of the paragraph where it says: "Although the differences in the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 patients who develop severe COVID19 across different populations 28 are more likely to be explained by social behaviour, public health measures to curb outbreaks, exposure to other viruses and immunological factors, human genetic variation across different populations may also marginally contribute to the observed differences.

"Marginally contribute" is a weak basis for a ethno-bioweapon.

In short, he does believe his bullshit - and it is bullshit.
