    Just look at this diagram of Amish excess deaths: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3411759 … ig-1-uid-0

    and compare to overall US execess deaths: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covi … deaths.htm

    Looks like the Amish excess deaths is twice as high. Just a 2 minute research. What is this to be an example for. Freedom of religion: great,. Doing a better job on Covid with religion: No.

        We are better off to catch the covid in our community for we have 99.95 chance of survival. Because , it maybe rise at first temporary yet in the long term the Vaccines will cause more deaths. The vaccine are is covid.

          Come on, you know better.
          The number you mention is: death per population. It is only reasonable to count the deadly outcome of the infected. Then you are a magnitude (some 10 fold) higher. And compare this to the likelyhood to die from simply being old or from other non contageous death causes: That chance for "survival" is  1-1/80 = 98,75% or 1,25% death probability.
          So you can compare 0,5% fatal outcome of infected to 1,25% of all death causes combined (40%).
          So better not catch Covid. Otherwise likelyhood for you to die is 40% higher than without the virus.  And .. back to the Amish: their likelyhood was 80% higher.

          Look what is happening in Romania. Low vaccination and religiously driven spreading events: All church goers kiss the same ikone, perfect ground for superspreading. Afterwards people fight for oxygen masks in the hospitals.

          Religion is no good advisor for fighting a contageous disease.

            i don't care, if they are religious, they are bio organism first. I'm less religious than an atheists.

            Nearing two years now the corvid deaths are near to 5 million highly debatable deaths.  The vaccines will triple covid death this year and go into tens of million next year. Meaning the vaccines are not working and or vaccines are the super spreaders.

              Like the Amish and in India and Florida they first had a great spike in deaths than deeply dropped covid deaths.

                Really Castlepaloma, can’t you choose better ‘sources’ than that?

                FYI ‘The Gateway Pundit’, the link you provided to prove your point is “an American far-right fake news website, the website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gateway_Pundit

                Besides, if you look at the data Florida hasn’t come off that well during the pandemic.

                •    Florida in covid related deaths stand at 2,770 deaths per million.
                •    The USA average is 2,297 deaths per million; lower than Florida, and
                •    The UK’s average is 2,057 deaths per million; even lower still.

                In fact, out of the 50 States of the USA, Florida has the 8th highest covid death rate per head of population.

                Also, you haven’t factored in the covid vaccinations in Florida.  Out of the 50 States of the USA, the vaccination rate in Florida, at 59.76% is higher vaccination rate than 29 other USA States.

                  As I said before, it had the high rise for a bit and then the lowest drop in covid cases in the last month, just like the data shows, unless you can find data that shows the opposite.

                    Yeah, Castlepaloma, Florida had a high rise because they didn’t have tough covid restrictions; a total of 59,497 covid related deaths for a population less than a third of the size of the UK.  So if you multiply Florida’s covid deaths by 3.13 to match the population size of the UK you would get a figure of Florida’s covid related deaths being 45,593 higher than the UK’s.

                    Therefore, not a record to be proud of, and it shows that Florida’s strategy was costly in the level of deaths.  Now that, as I stated above, that the vaccination rates in Florida is higher than 60% of the other States in the USA it should be no great surprise that due to the vaccination program the death toll in Florida has plummeted, just as it’s plummeted in the UK due to the UK’s successful vaccination program.
