Claims that the Amish avoid vaccines and are the healthiest are false. Studies show the Amish do vaccinate, and their COVID death rates aren’t lower.

Steve Kirsch’s claims of 10 million COVID vaccine deaths and healthier unvaccinated children rely on incomplete data, a retracted study, and a biased survey.
