The Amish claim of herd immunity was previously reported by Associated Press and other news organizations, but didn't get wide circulation. The propagandists and fake fact checkers didn't challenge the topic at the time.
But my report on the same, which aired last Sunday on Full Measure, must be having an impact.
In response, Facebook's Health Feedback propagandists have made several false and unsupported claims in an attempt to discredit The Amish approach and the reporting about it.
The fake fact-checkers falsely claim that "natural immunity post-infection is variable, while vaccination provides safer and more reliable immunity." The bulk of the scientific studies show the opposite. (You can find them here and decide for yourself.)
Additionally, they misleadingly imply that those who have had Covid-19 have even better protection if they go ahead and get vaccinated, anyway. (Refer to the same study list for the actual scientific findings to date.)
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) got caught making the same false claim, that Moderna and Pfizer studies showed people who have had Covid still are benefitted from getting vaccinated anyway, earlier this year. The studies did not show that.
Additionally Science magazine repeated the same false claim in an article that later had to be corrected. (See Media Mistake #23 here.)
Facebook's fake health fact-checkers repeating this same false information indicates they are in line with the interests putting out the disinformation through the government and scientific sources.
Facebook's fake health fact-checkers previously were exposed in an embarrassing episode when they falsely claimed the Covid-19 lab theory had been debunked and that an Epoch Times documentary was untrue
Sadly, the government, public health officials and Big Tech's fake fact checkers have damaged their own credibility
As always: Do your own research, make up your own mind, think for yourself.

BBC has aired first of what will apparently be four programs by BBC’s The Compass with Sue Nelson.

I don’t think that they claimed herd immunity in January. And even with herd immunity, there will be some small number of infections and deaths that occur.
The term should be herd resistance, because there will never be total immunity.
