No one has the data to prove anything.
Then why make the statement that a group was less effected when there is no data that shows it?
Legend. My father isnt a liar and his father wasnt either and thats how it has come down through the generations.
There is no question that the anti Semites claimed that Jews were affected less.
So Jews were believing the anti-Semites BS?

What she says is complete BS. It has nothing to do with fat. A virus doesn't have fat.
The first question to ask is why the pepper flakes float. Why don’t they sink or dissolve in the water? Well, pepper is hydrophobic, meaning that water is not attracted to it. Because of that, the pepper can't dissolve in the water. But why do the flakes float on top of the water? Water molecules like to stick together. They line up in a certain way that gives the top of the water surface tension. Because pepper flakes are so light, and hydrophobic, the surface tension keeps them floating on top.The next question to think about is why the pepper shoots to the sides when soap touches the water. Soap is able to break down the surface tension of water—that’s part of what makes soap a good cleaner. As the soap moves into the water, and the surface tension changes, the pepper no longer floats on top. But the water molecules still want to keep the surface tension going, so they pull back away from the soap, and carry the pepper along with them.Do you think soap is the only substance that can break down water's surface tension? Try conducting the same experiment but with olive oil or hair spray. Do you think the pepper flakes will react in the same way?
Soap dissolves the fat membrane, and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and “dies,” or rather, it becomes inactive as viruses aren’t really alive.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/deadly-viruses-are-no-match-for-plain-old-soap-heres-the-science-behind-it-2020-03-08
Marketwatch is giving me a paywall. Try her experiment with black pepper and just water (no oil/fat) and it does the same thing. (Did you read the NYT article I linked? Very nice explanation and clear images...)
