Unvaxxed Amish Death Rates 90 Times Lower Than Rest of America

[Slay news via Geller] Unvaxxed Amish Death Rates 90 Times Lower Than Rest of America

By: Frank Bergman, Slay News June 30, 2023:

A major study into the impact of the pandemic on Amish communities has found that Covid death rates among the traditionalist groups of citizens are 90 times lower than for the rest of America.

The main difference, the study revealed, is that Amish communities completely ignored the guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Amish families did not get vaccinated or wear masks, nor did they engage in lockdowns, social distancing, or any other type of restrictions.

But the separated communities didn’t avoid catching the virus, however, as roughly 90% of the Amish have been infected with Covid.

The study was conducted by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF) and specifically focused on Amish people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Lancaster has the world’s largest single community of Amish people with over 45,000 people

The study was conducted by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF) and specifically focused on Amish people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Lancaster has the world’s largest single community of Amish people with over 45,000 people.

Speaking to the Pennsylvania State Senate this week, Steve Kirsch, the founder of the VSRF, testified on his study.

Kirsch explained why Amish citizens died at a much lower rate than the rest of the country.

Kirsch first described talking with the family of the lone Amish man in Lancaster County who allegedly died from Covid.

Speaking to the family, Kirsch found out they actually didn’t know if he passed from the virus because the claim was made by the hospital where the man died.

"Maybe he died from the Covid hospital protocols," Kirsch told the State Senate about the Amish man.

Kirsch said he had heard that five Amish people had died from Covid but he was unable to find any information on them and couldn’t confirm their identities or the deaths.

He said he "did the calculation" based on the assumption that he was able to confirm the identity of five.

#6  this is admitted pedantic but the header should have been '10% as high as the rest of America'

#5  The physical activity that they do is not causing all their young men to keel over with vax related heart issues. The folks they probably lost were likely old and had comorbidities. Our current death rate remains much higher than expected even with Covid factored in.

#4  They also don't watch TV or partake of "social media."

#3  They also have much lower rates of obesity and the diseases associated with them which have proven to be a huge killer for COVID

#2  Truly a case of the cure is worse than the disease.

#1  Perhaps physical labor and/or sunshine reduce Covid severity? (Seems like homeless also had lower Covid severity?)
