Actress Rosanna Arquette Blames Jews for Coronavirus Outbreak in Twitter Rant
Actress Rosanna Arquette is under fire from most corners of civilized society after she accused the nation of Israel of being part of a conspiracy to spread the COVID-19 virus, known as the coronavirus.
In a tweet posted Tuesday, the 60-year-old actress claimed Israel has been working on a vaccine for coronavirus for over a year. She insinuated that Jews were essentially allowing the outbreak to spread to heighten profits from a potential vaccine.
Arquette deleted the tweet within hours, after taking near-universal criticism. A screenshot of the tweet is included below.
Apparently, Arquette is unaware that the term “coronavirus” applies to a family of viruses, many of whom have vaccines. However, COVID-19 does not have a vaccine or a widely-available test to diagnose it.
For Arquette, however, her focus on what she claimed was a Jewish conspiracy.
“I’m still confused, so Israel has been working on a corona virus vaccine for a year already? (so they knew) Vaccines take a long time to know if they are safe and KUSHNER OSCAR is the major investor in the new vaccine that is supposedly coming here. lives at risk for profit,” she tweeted (multiple grammatical mistakes corrected).
After she deleted the tweet, however, she attempted to walk back her claim by saying she had Jewish relatives and supported freedom of religion.
“First of all I’m Not anti Semitic,” she tweeted. “I was born to a Jewish mother. Israel is ahead of us in the vaccine for a year that’s what I said I give to Jewish family services who do so much for ALL people And the Holocaust museum honored my husband because he helps survivors,” she claimed.

In addition, she has also tweeted that “The president of the United States of America incites racist violence. The end.”
