COVID and the Amish
As a group, the Amish suffered no greater “excess deaths” during Covid, and arguably had fewer deaths, all without shutting down their schools, social life, and economy; without testing an experimental vaccine; and without spending untold amounts of money on testing, treatments, and hospitalizations.The above excerpt is from the article, "Update on the Amish Approach to CovidAs a result of my challenges, journal makes multiple corrections to scientific article."
Another shortfall in this process of scientific integrity lies in the fact that the government and study authors refuse to turn over the communications and materials I requested that could shed light on what specific people were backing the taxpayer funded study and why; and could tell us how the study shortfalls slipped past all the peer reviewers.
Both autism and vaccination rates are low in Amish communities. Steve Kirsch comments:
Autism rates for Amish are more than two orders of magnitude lower than the rest of America....It’s not genetics. Other groups that don’t vaccinate have some really low rates of autism. If you don’t vaccinate, your rates of autism are always super low. I’ve never heard of any exceptions to this rule. Genetics has absolutely nothing to do with it.
