My local Amish people work, shop and live together every day. No vax. And their health is unchanged.
I think that the threat posed by covid, and the necessity of the vax, has been exaggerated.

- andybak 5y agoThanks for the anecdata. I'm sure that outweighs all other evidence.
- nradov 5y agoAmish people have died from COVID-19. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/04/28/990986056/covid-19-has-hit-the-amish-community-hard-still-vaccines-are-a-hard-sell https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/04/28/9909860...
- swayvil 5y agoI speak from firsthand observation and discussion. You speak from prepared news products delivered remotely by strangers. Grasp the epistemological difference here.

- jacquesm 5y agoI'll take the words of those particular strangers over yours, after all, you are also a stranger, and an anonymous one at that.
- swayvil 5y agoYou miss my point. I offer that firsthand observation makes for better knowledge than secondhand.
- da_chicken 5y agoWouldn't that entirely depend on the quality of observation? I live in a state with a lot of flooding. I've personally witnessed several floods in the past 30 years, including those described as 100 year and 500 year flood levels. I've never seen anyone die in a flood, and nobody died due to flood waters in the two events above. Should I then conclude that flood waters, though very damaging to property, are safe?
- swayvil 5y agoIt would constitute strong evidence for that.
- occz 5y ago> I think that the threat posed by covid, and the necessity of the vax, has been exaggerated. You think wrong. Please stop spreading misinformation.
