This is the obvious smear campaign that GP was talking about.

RFK actually responded to these claims directly, though everyone seems to be conveniently ignoring him.

>I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews.

Reading that quote from RFK I cannot take the NYT headline seriously at all, such a far cry from "bigoted conspiracy theory".
