“Probably Amish, they dont get vaccinated.”

And they didn’t get Covid. Go figure.

There is a study called "Closed but Not Protected: Excess Deaths Among the Amish and Mennonites During the COVID-19 Pandemic" at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8195242/">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8195242/ From the abstract:

“Excess deaths” is a means to estimate the lethality of COVID-19 (directly and indirectly). Assessing “excess death” in closed religious communities provides information on how COVID-19 impacted these communities. We use obituary information published in an Amish/Mennonite newspaper to examine excess death among the Amish/Mennonites in 2020. Our results indicate the Amish/Mennonite excess death rates are similar to the national trends in the USA. The excess death rate for Amish/Mennonites spiked with a 125% increase in November 2020.
