Sharyl, good work, and I admire your restraint, but you have gone way too easy on the author and the journal. The inclusion of Mennonite results completely undermines the study. The Mennonites in this case do not constitute a CRC, because they behaved in a manner similar to the general public, or even, in fact, more on the other side of the spectrum: they actually were more compliant than the general public. If the facts in your article are true, and I have no doubt they are, then this is black-and-white outright fraud and deception. And it should be called out as such.
Excellent! Do the Amish vote? I don't think the meningitis church votes. We need EVERY SINGLE VOTE FOR TRUMP (AMERICA) THIS IS NOT ABOUT TRUMP ANYMORE PEOPLE WAKE UP ALREADY. OUR GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO KILL US!
What I always wanted to know is what happened to the flu and common cold all of this time. All of the public health system used a test that even the inventor of the test said it wouldn't detect COVID .
My wife and I apparently caught the "omni con as I called it but took no fake test.
We instead each had 2 Ozone blood infusion treatments and were fine.
As for feeling ill, it was much milder than any flu I ever had.
We closed our business for one week when the first horror scares came out but reopened when paramedics, firemen and our county coroner needed something and none wore masks.
Contrary to our county head of public health that never had a medical degree we stayed open, never got vaccinated and only put a mask on to go into one pandemic way street Walmart for groceries.
We also drove a 300 mile round trip to a potato sorting warehouse and brought back boxes of potatoes to give to people because all the local stores were out.
Ironic that Walmart put the social distancing rules and one way aisles in and urged people to not loiter but at the same time rearranged the store so customers had to hunt for things rather than know where they were.
We lost about 9K in gross mostly service sales over the previous year with our major loss from building contractors who were shutdown in their home renovations because of fear.
The so-called powers that be never wanted there to be a solution. There’s a lot of money in the “pandemic racket “, but it may be that we have the enemy among us because we are a nation that rejoices in the shedding of innocent blood, and has for the part of many, turned its back on God. Does anyone remember the day that New York lit Times Square pink to celebrate partial birth abortion, and look at that city now. A coincidence, I think not. The Amish are wise not to comply with these people. Unfortunately, too many did, and continue to. 🙏🏼💔
Is it possible that the Amish are a generally healthier subgroup of the American population, so that when they experienced a higher average rate of infection, but only an average rate of mortality they only had a ‘better’ outcome because they were able to weather it better. That doesn’t really vouch for them having a better strategy than at least social distancing or effective masking in crowded places.
Some day we will have an even more virulent strain than Delta and it will kill hundreds of millions if not resisted with aggressive public health measures.
When is the last time hundreds of millions were killed by a pathogen?? We as a species would be extinct if this were possible. All cause mortality did not spike worldwide until the transfection jabs were rolled out. Your statement is preposterous.
Relative to current populations and absent our advanced methods, the “Spanish Flu” would have killed “hundreds of millions”. Pure anti-vaxxers are advocating for a repeat of those results, especially as populations age and co-morbidities multiply. Maybe a cold heart would say this would be good for the safety net and fair comeuppance to boomers that left little to future generations, but it doesn’t meet most ethical tests, at least not those grounded in a christian ethos.
It’s certainly possible that the Amish are more healthy on average than their neighbors; I think this is one reason why Sharyl asks in her letter if the researchers ever compared general Ohio death rates pre-Covid to closed religious communities in the same time period.
But it seems that you are assuming something when you ask what happened when the Amish suffered “higher rates of infection.” I didn’t see that fact in the article. As far as I know, everyone has been exposed to the virus by now.
My understanding is that every group got the Crud as soon as there were new waves and/or people ventured out more, so the Amish might be seen as just an early example of that principle. IOW, they weren't more likely to die than other groups who got sick a little further down the line.
Dear Sharyl, You're awesome! 🫂 I closed my Transcultural Nursing phenomenal Amish ppt presentation with your YT "Amish Covid ~ Full Measure" video in Fall 2022. This was right before I took a mandatory LOA (temporarily ; ) from my program. Sincerely Thank you so much. I'm a Fan and a straight A RN Now 🥰. PS You were superb in committee.
Absolutely fantastic work. I was put off by the opening sentence, but was rewarded for pushing past it into the meat of your argument. I would have preferred to see something like "the next time a pandemic is declared" or something similar, because what happened with covid would not have even remotely fit the definition of "pandemic" were it not for the fraudulent PCR tests and the inflated and fictitious death counts. Even with those falsehoods, the final numbers mirror death rates of the flu or other respiratory illnesses, not an unusually lethal and novel disease.
There could be many things that the Amish could serve a control group for, but the govt. chooses not to take advantage of the rich data they have at their fingertips. Odd, right?
Thank you! I have had success getting quick retractions and corrections in medical journals in the past. This is ridiculous! There is lots more of this in my upcoming book "Follow the $cience" ;)
Sharyl, first of all, welcome to Substack! What shocked me the most about your inaugural 'stack post was not the depth of your reporting and research. (I am used to that.) What shocked me the most was the fact that Springer Nature--like most guardians of the narrative--was unrepentant in continuing to, well, protect the narrative. Caught in an obvious lie, or, at best a glaring mistake, they stonewalled. #ParForTheCourse

Neither did I !
As with all vaccines… absolutely!!
Meninnites church?

Why an “expert” on Old Order Amish would not be aware of the difference between social practices of Amish & Mennonite is totally beyond me.
Is it possible that the Amish are a generally healthier subgroup of the American population, so that when they experienced a higher average rate of infection, but only an average rate of mortality they only had a ‘better’ outcome because they were able to weather it better. That doesn’t really vouch for them having a better strategy than at least social distancing or effective masking in crowded places.

I guess I got that from the “tearing through the community at warp speed” once they stopped their brief period of shutdown.
My understanding is that every group got the Crud as soon as there were new waves and/or people ventured out more, so the Amish might be seen as just an early example of that principle. IOW, they weren't more likely to die than other groups who got sick a little further down the line.

Sharyl
Very odd. Maybe they are afraid of solutions.
Why are public officials not interested in this story? Are there studies comparing health outcomes of Amish vs non Amish in US
Thank you! I have had success getting quick retractions and corrections in medical journals in the past. This is ridiculous! There is lots more of this in my upcoming book "Follow the $cience" ;)
