What was claimed
The Amish had a 90X lower fatality rate from COVID & Autism is undetectable in their community because they ignore every CDC guideline and shun vaccines. There are now more than a dozen vaccinated vs unvaccinated studies that show being unvaccinated is always healthier.
Our verdict
InaccurateFact-checkers and Amish-population researchers found no evidence for a 90-fold lower death rate. Available data indicate Amish communities experienced substantial COVID impacts and, in some analyses, elevated excess mortality. The word "always" is contradicted by systematic reviews finding benefits associated with COVID vaccination, including lower risk of long COVID. Some studies identify specific vaccine-associated risks, such as myocarditis, but that does not show that unvaccinated people are always healthier. (Only 1 of 3 AI systems responded.)
