The Amish didn't lockdown, social distance, mask, or take a vaccine. It was business as usual. Few died. I offered $2,500 for anyone who could name >5 Amish who died. No takers. Just excuses.
So I tried to share Steve’s reporting with a friend, who is “a data guy” and he quoted this idea that Amish had a spike of deaths of 125 %. I searched and found the above extract in NIH. I’m not good at reading extracts, but it seems like the study only looked at obituaries until November of 2020. Even if the paper is flawed or out of date for not including a longer period (especially the vaccine rollout time period), can anyone explain or refute this? I think my “data guy” friend is beyond waking up, but I thought someone here should have a good rebuttal.
The problem here is that most of the Amish who got COVID and died perhaps didn't seek mainstream medical services and get diagnosed with COVID - so how could someone provide names of people who were recorded as dying of COVID if it wasn't recorded as a COVID death? There is evidence that the Amish fared as well as or better than populations that embrace mainstream medicine and vaccines but there isn't evidence that the COVID waves spared them from excess deaths. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34117598/ and https://www.christianpost.com/news/amish-survived-covid-19-better-than-most-by-not-locking-down.html provide some insight into the situation.
Steve: with your connections and the debate team that you have at your fingertips, I hope some honest, reliable legwork is being done on stats re the Amish. For instance, I recently read claims that the Amish 'suffered excess deaths in 2020 and 2021, due to their fear of technology/the vaccines'... Of course this ignores the fact that they ALSO claim that EVERY community on the planet suffered excess deaths in those years. But aside from that, do they actually have data that shows that the Amish had excess deaths in those years? I'd like to see the real data on this, and if it is because some Amish started taking the jab? Or is it just bunk on all fronts, or what? We need to keep a close eye on the Amish and their birth rates and life expectancies as well. They are the control group, if they did in fact stay completely unjabbed. We need to secure ACTUAL (legit) DATA on these topics before it gets corrupted.
I never wore a mask, socially distanced, etc and I never got COVID. I never took their COVID jab either. I do PERSONALLY know 4 people who died from the COVID jab. AND everytime I talk to someone about it, they either tell me how sick they are since they took the jab or how someone they know is sick or dead from it.

Steve, fact checkers sent me this study based on obituaries in a newspaper distributed to Amish communities.
Of cause they seem to be arguing that these religiously observant are a cesspool of viruses that didn't (gasp) social distance, mask, quarantine etc.
What do you make of it?

They also don’t have cellular towers radiating into their bodies like the rest of us… perhaps that variable should be considered.
if you haven't seen it yet, PA has state numbers by municipalities.

I NEVER see Amish in our hospital. They are wise to distrust.
Never mind. Found it
Can anyone direct me to a copy of “Turtles All The Way Down”? Thanks Jeff Smith
Fyi

Can I name 5 Amish people living in Lancaster County who died of Covid? No.
Can I name 5 Amish people living in Lancaster County, period? Also no.
You should look at Holmes County, Ohio too.
