Fact check says amish was never t spared from covid.
They know this because a single sociologist counted obituaries and saw an uptrend in 2020. Wrote an article on it. Not peer reviewed. No actual data incl.
But you can trust that one article.
Because as you say. Amish don't record cause of death
You might be able to infer something from the total number of Amish deaths vs. other years.
The US as a whole had a record-high number of deaths from all causes. If you decide you don't believe in covid, there is an anomaly of about 600,000 extra deaths. The US has never had a year above 3 million ever. Last year it was 3.2 million. They were expecting around 2.6 million. It's very predictable from year to year, but 2020 was an anomaly no matter how you look at it.
So this sjw pretend scientist desperate to prove his ideology does a half arse study.
Finds that amish obituaries increased 125% from 2019 to 2020. Case closed. Fact checked. Amish suffered from covid.
But stats are just formalized lies. So what if obituaries had increased 200% from 2018 - 2019? Who the fuks says that same number of deaths occur each year or that rate of publishing deargs are constant?
We don't know. The study raw data was never made public.
