Today, we report from Texas on the economic slump that’s following the boom.
Study that claimed Amish were worse off for refusing covid measures and vaccines was flawed
by Rhoda Wilson, Expose News: The largest community of Amish rejected covid measures and the vaccines. They fared no worse for doing so. Despite the propaganda stating otherwise, the facts posed a problem for the covid narrative pushers. So, a flawed study was produced to “prove” the Amish suffered from covid because they abstained from “public health” measures. Over 12 months, Sharyl Attkisson challenged the journal that published the study in an attempt to get it corrected.

A study falsely implied the Amish suffered more deaths because they eschewed public health guidance. But correcting the record proved nearly impossible. In 2021, I reported on my national television program, Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson that the largest Amish community in the US, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, had rejected masking, vaccines, isolation, testing, and all the other CDC recommendations for Covid…and apparently fared none the worse for having done so.
