Amish Community May Have Herd Immunity

Amish community may have reached coronavirus ‘herd immunity,’ health official says​

What's interesting is that I have Amish neighbors and they only had their schools closed at the very beginning last year. They do not wear masks unless asked to inside a store and still have their gatherings. There weren't mass deaths.

I know people want to believe the shut downs helped their grandmothers to live, but in reality the science is proving that the death rates are the same for areas that shut down compared to those that remained open.

I've seen a grand total of one Amish person wearing a mask. Curiously it was while they were driving their buggy.

It's increasingly difficult to believe that much of the posturing is about anything other than control. I think it was Rand Paul who asked Fauci whether wearing two masks to deal with a virus with a 99% survival rate, after receiving a vaccine with a 95% efficacy rate, was anything more than theater. You'd have thought the official stories would at least make the vaccine look appealing, but as it stands it seems that not taking the vaccine (at least for those under about 50 years old) means facing a 0.02% fatality rate but taking the vaccine offers the chance (however small) of side-effects for a minimal gain and doesn't even mean you're not expected to put a sock on your head any more. We're supposed to do it to benefit society even though it's clear society doesn't benefit because we're still expected to put a sock on our head.

The Mennonite community in this area has a pastor (from Texas) who is in total opposition to any sort of masking/social distancing as applied to churches. The town is a hot spot for COVID. We now avoid it. Enough said.

Clearly not enough said, given the Amish communities appear to experience the exact opposite by doing the same thing.

It's almost as if there's more to the story than putting a sock on your head.

Since most of the Amish in my area have had the virus already it seems that I'll be shopping at their stores more often since they're less of a threat.

The data is showing that the lock downs and masks really don't work and that the data for cases and deaths are about the same to those communities who were far stricter. The only thing that we have to remember is that they wanted the hospitals a chance to be able to handle the influx of patients and the experts KNEW that we were prolonging the virus by doing this. It was stated this back in March/April of last year.

Prolonging the virus isn't a bad thing if it reduces the total number of deaths - the whole "flatten the curve" was about trying to make sure we didn't have bodies piled into mass graves because there was no hospital capacity to treat them. But as we move past the first anniversary of "two weeks to flatten the curve" it's hardly surprising people are asking more questions.

The really worrying thing is how much societal damage has been done by such extended lockdowns. Quite aside from telling the majority of the workforce that their jobs aren't important (even as it apparently is important to be able to buy the exact same items from Walmart or Amazon), the chances of an enormous mental health crisis continue to rise as people try and cope with changes forced upon them. And I shudder to think what the overall impacts will be as far as domestic abuse and child abuse are concerned, when people aren't mixing freely with people who might notice a problem.

Curiously, the Beau Biden Foundation has been warning of just such a rise in child abuse for months now. That would be the foundation named after, well, the late Beau Biden. His father Joe seems more concerned with socks on heads than with heeding the warnings from his late son's foundation.

I saw a relative of mine post this recently on social media.

Sadly, after all the info I and others have provided, it seems most people still can't get past (or recognize) the brainwashing technique called "endless repetition" - something corporate media does when they want you to believe in something:

Bolster the Premise

The Premise in this case is a supposedly deadly virus that all the media talking heads are yammering about. What of course is never mentioned is that they have not actually proved that the DNA strand they are calling "covid-19" actually causes disease. And of course they don't...because it's supposed to be super sneaky and dormant in some people. So very convenient.

Premises previously bolstered but now largely abandoned:

The nuclear threat/cold war
The threat of communist south east Asia (Vietnam)
The war on drugs
The threat of middle eastern Muslim dictators
The war on terror (all the terrorists are now in hiding due to covid, lol)
Weapons of Mass Destruction


The process is the same every time. Bombard the media with the premise, and most everyone will believe and act accordingly, because most people do not know that their corporate media is not about reporting news so much as it is about pushing agendas.

The supposed "herd immunity" is part of the covid premise. It sounds like an encouraging story, but it's purpose is to continue to bolster the premise of covid-19. So called "herd immunity" has never been achieved for either the flu or the common cold. Expect the media to be talking about new, more dangerous strains/mutations in the future. It's manipulation on a massive scale.
