The Amish Elder was asked about any Covid issues in your society. He said We don't have televisions or the internet, etc. therefore, we were not made aware of such problems in our society.
So the so-called pumped up "sciences" about Covid and the vaccines were all hog-wash, and many took the suicide jabs and boosters.
There was a "spike" of 117% by the Amish in November of 2020 due to the visitors to the Amish Country that were jabbed, vaccinated, boosters, etc.

And they are almost totally isolated from the outside world. Remember how contagion works?
Is this another false rumor spread by the Philly anti-vaxx Gurus?
The Amish have lehavdil been similar to unzerra heimishe that their neighborhoods in Lancaster, Adirondacks, etc, have had the highest covid rates of any population because they are clueless about the outside world & are generally suspicious of new medical advice.
You mean to say that no one died or was in the hospital for months due to covid.
The whole covid issue is one big lie.
And you are the kashrus king. Is that hog wash too???

Someone actually told us that a Reb Shmuel in the City of Brotherly Love wanted to meet with us to suggest we take a united stand against Cuomo & the CDC who collaborate with the Amalekites of Big Pharma.
Amos, for anti-vaxx vaiss Ich nisht, but I bet you guys in Dutch Pennsylvania are more nizhar in mamzerus than Philly yeshiva!

Claims on social media that the Amish population has not been affected by COVID-19 are false. Such claims have been used to suggest that vaccines are futile.
The Amish are a Christian sect of around 350,000 people who live much as their ancestors did when they migrated to the United States from Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Famously reclusive, they are known for eschewing cars and other modern technologies.
A study released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Nov. 2020 analysed an outbreak of the virus in a rural Amish community in Wayne County, Ohio (here). This county is part of the Greater Holmes County Area Settlement, which is home to 36,955 people, the largest Amish population in the state.
“Social gatherings, important in Amish communities, likely contributed to rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2,” the report said.
Dr. Kimberly Thompson, a global health expert and president of the risk and disease modelling organization Kid Risk Inc., told Reuters: “Everybody can be affected by the pandemic. The extent by which you are affected as an individual does depend on what is happening in your community and how much you are mixing but everybody is potentially infectable.”
She added: “The difference in the United States is that some may not be vaccinated at the same rates as we are seeing in other communities and for that reason, they would remain vulnerable.”
Vaccine hesitancy among Amish communities has been well documented (here , here and here). A study released in Feb. also concluded the Amish “may be at risk for low uptake of a COVID-19 vaccine” (bit.ly/2TEjX59).
Virus outbreaks among Amish communities have also been noted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, measles has been declared eradicated in the U.S. since 2000; however, outbreaks are still known to occur (here).
In 2014, the United States recorded its highest caseload of measles in two decades. A study by the CDC details how two unvaccinated Amish men contracted measles while travelling, along with the subsequent epidemiological response (here) (here).
“We have, in the United States, seen outbreaks of Polio and Measles historically in the Amish community despite very high vaccination rates in the rest of the country and that’s also true in the Netherlands where the under vaccinated religious populations have been susceptible to outbreaks,” Thompson said, “It would be a mistake to think that they are somehow protected.”

It's part of the folklore in Philly yeshiva to say over the mayseh with the Chassidishe Yid traveling by train through Penn. whom a freye gvir yelled at him for dressing like an alter Heim ghettonik. It was either Dokter Rabbiner Twerski or his father who at first pretended to be Amish which prompted the freye to apologize. Rabbi Twerski then laced into the freye for being a hypocrite who likes it only when goyim wear costumes from 100s of years ago.
So maybe this falshe Amish rumor was started by a heisseh Philly bochur pretending to be Amish!
Bs"d
All your cynical comments remind me of the liberal trend today "That which people so terribly fear is quite often, perversely, that which they're so desperately hoping for!"
The Amish have corona? Shout it out from the rooftops, and bombard the public with the news! They don't really have corona, or it been exaggerated? First - could you review the evidence?
Next - touch up the facts and figures. Then - broadcast the "updated" results. Finally - ostracize anyone who dares to expose the real truth in objective terms. This is internet style 2022.
Don't like the facts? Exaggerate and/or create a crisis; then censure any attempt at exposure to the "unwanted" facts.
