The study was entitled “Closed but Not Protected: Excess Deaths Among the Amish and Mennonites During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” It appeared in the Journal of Religion and Health on June 11, 2021.
In reading the study, I found the authors and backers clearly seemed to intend to publicly debunk the Amish approach to Covid—but in reality, looking at the data, I saw that the study did quite the opposite.
By way of background, the Amish population largely rejected public health recommendations during Covid, but fared no worse in terms of health impact than the rest of the country that masked, isolated, and vaccinated. That’s according to available data, and even the federally-funded study in question. Those findings imply the US could have avoided experimental vaccines that have serious side effects; and circumvented costly shutdowns that devastated the economy, travel, businesses, mental health, and education at the expense of trillions of US tax dollars.
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.
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.
Yes, like Sweden, they refused everything, masks, lockdowns, jabs and guess what? They survived better than the sheep who followed the government orders to do everything anti-science.
A lot of people in the government are guilty of murder and malpractice.
