RFK jr highlights a study done on the unvaccinated Amish Community. According to trends at the time there should have been about 2000 autism cases. Yet they only found 3. All of them adopted by the Amish after receiving their vaccines.

@mlcowen Except that vaccines are not the only difference between the Amish and the general population. The food that they consume is also vastly different. Anyone with even a small amount of science knowledge knows that you have to isolate for only one variable to prove causation.

The work of Dr Paul Thomas has also looked at the long-term health outcomes of vaxxed vs unvaxxed. Unvaxxed kids are healthier. I wonder why our public health agencies don’t study this? Oh, funded by Pfizer. #criminal

@Inversionism And you also don’t find cancer among the Amish. 🤔🤔🤔

I live in a large Amish community in Indiana - this is legit.

👌👌

RFK Jr is referring to research done by Dan Olmsted in the early 2000s when he was with UPI. Dan went on to establish the daily online newspaper @AgeofAutism & write a book of the same name

@AgeofAutism 🙏🙏

I tried to do some web searching on this. The lefty Snopes site denounced Kennedy's claim here as "false," yet even Snopes admitted: "it is true that the [Amish] vaccination rates are lower, and that... their rates of autism occurrence are also lower" compared to the broader U.S. population. This kind of confirmed correlation would be considered a big deal for public health in almost any other context. The link follows for those interested.

Blaming vaccines ignores the issues when it comes to stress, food intake, and work-life balance. The Amish simply live a lot healthier.

Thank God for a control group like the Amish.
