Guest Post by Steve Kirsch
The Amish didn’t lockdown, social distance, mask, or take a vaccine. It was business as usual. Few died. I offered $2,500 for anyone who could name >5 Amish who died. No takers. Just excuses.
Executive summary
The traditional Amish do not vaccinate. And they are a tight knit community. So they are the perfect placebo cohort. We just compare the rate of death of the unvaccinated Amish with the rate of death of people in the same area.
I recently learned that it’s likely that in the >50,000 person unvaccinated Amish community in Lancaster, PA there are less than a handful of people who died from COVID. Lancaster is the largest Amish community in the US.
Wow.
If nobody in the world can name more than 5 Amish unvaxxed people who died in Lancaster, PA, it means the entire pandemic response (lockdowns, business closures, school closures, church closures, testing, masking, social distancing, mandates, not testing people for immunity before vaccination, and vaccination) was completely unnecessary and counterproductive. Whoops!
So my “Can you name >5?” challenge posted to Twitter is an objective test that should be trivial to win if the medical journal papers are right about there being a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
So far, nobody could name >5 unvaxxed Amish people in Lancaster, PA who died from COVID. In fact, they can’t name anyone. Zero.
People just came up with excuses, referenced vaccinated Amish who died, thought a Mennonite is the same thing as an Amish person, etc. The list of excuses was endless. The number of qualifying names? Zero.
If you want objective proof that our society was destroyed for nothing, my Amish bet is your proof.
The Amish did nothing and their death toll was 30X lower than ours. They operated as if nothing happened.
Will we learn from them? Not a chance.
The CDC will never do a study on the Amish; it would be too embarrassing for them. It would show the world that the CDC everything they demanded of us was both harmful and unnecessary; it made things worse. And the stuff the CDC said to not do? Well, that’s what the Amish did. You know; like that horse paste.
Instead of handing over control in the next pandemic to the WHO, we’d actually be better off putting the Amish in charge.
The bottom line is this. They can throw all the technical papers in the world at you explaining how the Amish are dying in droves, but if they can’t actually come up with the names of >5 unvaccinated Amish people who died from COVID in Lancaster, PA since the start of the pandemic, you should tell them where they can stick their “scientific studies” and their stupid COVID mitigation policies.
The “must watch” video
This will give the needed background. It’s a short 5 minute video featuring Sharyl Attkisson.
Nobody in mainstream media will touch this story because it completely blows up the narrative. It shows that all the COVID interventions were completely unnecessary! The Amish returned to normal in May 2020. Read that again.
The Amish achieved herd immunity before the vaccines were even available.
They also have zero autism (except if the person is adopted) for the people who eschew vaccination.
Even if the vaccine worked and was safe, there was simply no reason for them to take the vaccine because 90% had already been infected in 2020. Taking a vaccine after you’ve already got natural immunity is nonsensical and counterproductive. However, in the US, we were told to get the vaccine even if we recovered from COVID. Very dumb.
How did they achieve herd immunity so fast? They did the opposite of what the CDC recommended; they lived their lives normally and used drugs like ivermectin if they got sick.
Today, more than 3 years later, you still can’t find more than a handful who died from COVID.
To drive that point home with people, I am making a $2,500 offer to the first person who can find more than a handful of unvaxxed Amish who died from COVID in Lancaster, PA during the entire pandemic.
Lancaster, PA
Lancaster has 500,000 and 50,000 unvaxxed Amish. As far as I know, no more than 5 died from symptoms consistent with COVID and that number may be high. The actual number may be 0 for all I know; the two names I have are suspected COVID.
When I first heard about the Amish community in Lancaster, I immediately thought that I could simply search the national death index and compare the rise in deaths in 2021 vs. 2020 in Lancaster vs. surrounding counties and I’d know instantly whether the Amish had a lower or higher death rate! Unfortunately, the unvaxxed Amish are only 10% of the Lancaster county population and they don’t break down deaths by the full FIPS code; if they did, we could do the analysis in a heartbeat by comparing Salisbury with Ephrata all-cause mortality. I was soooo close!
In downloading the 2.7GB death data for 2021, I did discover that they blank out the county (and many other fields). This is their idea of “data transparency.”
It’s as if they don’t want you ever to learn the truth. Can you imagine that?! One thing I’ve learned is if they have to keep the data hidden, there’s a reason.
So you can’t compare the death rates in Lancaster, PA vs. surrounding counties due to too much noise. Darn. I was soooooooo close.
But when I heard that there were less than 5 COVID deaths in 50,000 people over the entire pandemic, I knew I had a winner.
A simple objective test that nobody can meet that proves all the stuff we were told to do actually made things about 30X worse.
My $2,500 challenge to show us >5 names
There were at least two fully unvaccinated Amish people who died of COVID in Lancaster, PA. But as far as I know, there aren’t more than 5. So this contest is theoretically winnable (since nobody has perfect knowledge). There is no trick. Any reasonable evidence is acceptable (e.g., their Amish neighbors vouch that they were unvaxxed). If the threshold was 2 deaths, I’d win it myself. But I couldn’t find more than 5 fully unvaccinated Amish who met the contest criteria below:
Termination of the offer
The contest ends May 30, 2023 and I will reveal the two names I know just to prove it was possible to win if there were more deaths.
The excuses
I got everything except names. Nobody came up with a single name. You can read the entire Twitter thread here. They pointed me to various junk science papers claiming the unvaxxed were more likely to die from COVID, the Amish were dying in droves, etc. If any of those papers were true, they’d be able to easily win my contest. One person pointed me to a single Mennonite woman who died and claimed I should pay up. You can read the responses and you’ll shake your head.
Some said they can’t give the names of people who died because that would be a HIPAA violation. Interesting! Have you ever seen an obit in the newspaper where the name was redacted for medical privacy reasons? HIPAA only applies if the person is a patient of theirs and the patient gave them medical info as part of the medical practice. As far as I know, none of these people claimed to be treating the Amish.
This is all bullshit. All they have to do is pick up the phone and talk to their Amish friends and say, “Hey, do you know anyone who was unvaxxed and died from COVID?”
I did that, but I just got 2 names.
The whole thing was to distract from the fact that they can’t come up with >5 names because no more than 5 Amish people died from COVID. That’s inescapable.
My favorite responses
This is the winner. It got 50% more views than my main tweet!
Here are some others:
Their next move is to pass a law ordering DHS to forcibly vaccinate all Amish with 70+ vaccines in one sitting to keep America safe: “it’s for the greater good.”
This next comment is a bit tongue-in-cheek:
Check back in a day to see what Andrew’s friends told him:
Twitter Community Notes
OK, so if there are so many excess deaths, then how come nobody knows more than a few people in the unvaxxed Amish community who died from COVID?
That’s what I want to know!
You can’t have it both ways
The Amish achieved herd immunity in March 2021. So if there is a paper claiming there were excess deaths in March 2021 and beyond, we can now cite that as evidence that the vaccines don’t work. The reason is simple: the Amish are the “best case” possible: they were FULLY “vaccinated” in 2020. So if people claim they had excess deaths in 2021, it means that the vaccines (which must be worse than natural immunity) will have even worse outcomes.

The immune system is similar to the muscular system in that it must be used to serve it’s purpose.
We don’t suggest that in order to build muscle the body should not only remain at rest, but be given muscle relaxers.
Our current problem with the modern method of treating illness in human beings goes back a century and a half. When it was discovered that there existed treatments for things like traumatic injuries by using opiates, or in treating simple infections with antibiotics, the assumption became that all human ailments were treatable with the application of chemicals. The assumption was false, yet it not only persisted, but dominated every aspect of health care in the modern world.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
At the outset I said the two groups to watch would be the homeless and prisoners. Both groups would be near the bottom in terms of proper nutrition, maximum stress, unsanitary conditions, close quarters with others, and least capable of finding means of self-treatment. Clearly neither of these groups suffered the kinds of losses we would have expected to see in a genuine pandemic.
It was just the flu, bro.
We know that now- or we should. Those who suspected something was hinky from the get go avoided the panicked response because they understood what was happening wasn’t real, but orchestrated.
I’m like George Carlin. I have certain rules I live by and one of those rules is not to believe anything the government tells me.
The only reason I ever watch MSM news is to see what kind of BS they are pushing today and then try my best to avoid it or do the opposite.
My son is putting a garden at his house.
A co-worker offered him some cow manure to spruce up the soil. So yesterday my son calls looking to borrow my truck to go get a load. I decided to go for drive because it was a nice day and a good way to spend time with him. Anyways we get there and co-worker hops on tractor and loads up bucket, dumps it in my truck. My little Ford Ranger was loaded to overflowing. Because the bucket was bigger than my bed there was cowshit all over it. So I proceed to grab a handful of it to do smell test, not worried because I could tell it was well cured. Son was taken back a bit. But I explained and the co-coworker concurred that there is nothing with handling shit, as long as it sits outside and ages a bit.
Hope you are having a good year and planting season is treating you well.
And it was just the flu, bro. The people in charge where just spewing bullshit…
Sorry aboot the bad poetry and all kidding aside. The problem with the world is people want to insulate themselves from nature. My point doing that was to show my son not to fear the land but rather embrace it.
I’m certain you already know this, but be careful amending soil with cowshit. It needs to rest in the soil for a while before planting. It will burn the roots
Good point…
Squishing it in my hands it looked more like black earth than shit so it should be okay for his purposes. As you probably know the reason for smelling it is to gauge how much it has broken down. Something I probably saw my Grand Father doing 50 years ago, when I was a kid.
As it will be three weeks or so before anything can be planted I’m not that concerned. Plus there isn’t a massive amount per sq. ft being added anyways. In the end what was done was reinforce a Father/Son bond that has been passed down for a thousand generations.
It was one of those days I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
Thats gold tight there, and what you had in ur hands too.
Depends on a lot of factors, but the biggest concern with cow manure is if the pastures they were on were treated with Grazon or similar herbicides that will persist for a year or 2 even after ingestion and composting. I don’t think most composted manure will burn roots, because we use it and I don’t see that.
May get some mushrooms out of it but rabbit manure is the top notch poop if one can get it. In the compost pile, in the garden, rabbit poop is not likely to burn the green.
That’s how you know it’s good s**t! When it’s ready it smells good!
You just described the process for making veal. Probably lamb as well were the truth known.
Also, I can’t speak for you, but seeing an entire population sucked in by an obvious hoax scared the living shit out of me. I realized almost immediately that I was in some kind of dystopian zombie flick and shit was already sideways. If you don’t find that disturbing then you should probably get yourself checked out.
In conclusion, I agree with the overall point you’ve made here. I just couldn’t resist yankin’ yer chain just a little bit this morning. After all…

I always say that before 2020 a dystopian zombie flick where the premise is that an evil world organization (WEF) drops a hoax disease on the planet and 70-80% of the people are fooled would have bombed at the box office. No one wants to believe they were taken for a fool.
This song is what comes to mind when I think of the life altering consequences the scamdemic had for me.
The life you lead gives you insights into specific problems and issues unlike anyone else.
Had I not spent four years as an infantry grunt and then over a decade as a standup, I never would have fully grasped just how easily manipulated and herd-like human beings are, especially in groups. Then I became a farmer and it only reinforced everything I had learned about humans, recognizing for the first time that cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens aren’t the only animals that were fundamentally changed by ten thousand years of domestication.
Once you see it and understand it, suddenly the instinctual part of you that still possesses the independent streak of a hunter-gatherer comes into sharper focus and you can shed at least some of the confining aspects of socialized conformity, allowing yourself to be as free as possible for the human organism at this stage of development.
Yesterday afternoon I had to round up and transport a half dozen gilts for my neighbor. He trades me round bales for hogs every year and we both come out thinking we scored. My oldest son went along with me and we had a nice visit with the farmer and his wife and grandson, then decided to head home and have a cold beer in the late afternoon. I opted to bring another bale to the cows who are still in the paddock for a few more days until the grass is 8″, so they were happy to see us. The dogs always escort us to the gate in their laconic way when we need to pass into the cowpen, the cattle stepping back to let us pass to keep the dogs from having to come in and move them. It was like a sun dappled ballet, the streaks of sunlight falling through the maples behind the big barn, the bright green of the emerging leaves filling in all the spaces between, and the air redolent with the scent of lilacs. I though that Peter Jackson with a hundred million dollar budget and all the effects men in Hollywood could not have approximated what we were experiencing simply for the price of being there. I thought in that moment just how many days I have managed to live like this, with the ones I love and care for, doing something significant, outdoors under an open sky, the sound of birds and the ragged scraps of clouds floating effortlessly above us on their way to some other perfect place while the ones who command the centers of power try and convince the rest of humanity to live in pepetual fear.
No matter what they try to convince you of, life is beautiful.
I enjoyed that a lot.
We had some friends over for dinner last weekend and I proudly told them about the dining chairs that I scored free from the road side and how I was very much looking forward to sanding and staining them and learning about furniture restoration in the process, given that have absolutely no clue about that.
Those friends are well off folks who always seem to eat take out and buy more shit in an effort to make the most out of life, I guess. Meanwhile, they and their adult children are too busy working to spend any time with the grandkids who are spending all of their waking hours in daycare from the moment that their umbilical cord stumps fell off.
So he asked me why I don’t just BUY a set of dining chairs.
I answered that it is for the same reason I prefer to cook than to fetch takeout food. I don’t think he understood me at all.
Yesterday, all of our children and me sanded the chairs together, followed by ice cream. Was a successful homeschool day.
Very nice Loka.
Thanks, HSF. I have been sleeping like crap while also adjusting to a dairy schedule. Your inspiring words will help me salvage this day where I don’t even want to move.
Speaking for some of us in the medical community with some courage (not enough sadly), we tried, but failed.

Sarctire ahead:
My immune system workout regimen.
I like to alternate between different sections of the immune system for maximum immune “muscle” strength.
●Mondays-Physical
Cutting, self mutilation, open physical paths for infection.
●Tuesday-Rest
●Wednesday- Toxic ingestion.
Consume various toxic materials and things.
●Thurday-Rest.
●Friday-Hazardous energy fields.
Rig the microwave so it operates with the door open. Stick head and other body parts into the wave path while operating. Sleep with three active wireless routers, and two cell phones next to head. Sometimes sleep with everything electronic next to the reproductive organs.
●Saturday-Rest
●Sunday-Tenderize.
Lightly beat various parts of body flesh with a meat tenderizer [or regular hammer].
I like my immune system workout.
Pretty confident my immune system could totally kick most other people’s’s immune systems asses. Even my own.
My apologies to hardscrabble farmer.
I read “immune system similar to muscle system”…and thoughts just jumped to “Immune System workout regimen”

Hey, that’s not fair! Glock doesn’t KNOW any Amish!
True
Anyone have any info on how the Mennonite community fared through all this? You never hear anything about them.
There are a mix of Mennonite and Amish around me. None of them injected that I know of. I don’t know of any that died as a result of fictional covitus either. Funny that I was speaking with an Amish fellow about the injection and he told me that he had done some work for a normie couple whom two days after taking the injection the husband up and died. The Amish and Mennonites are not ignorant people, they know plenty about current affairs. Seems to me that they live better than do we.
Thanks, ryan. I used to live about ten miles from a Mennonite community. Good people by all accounts.
I love this timeline where the Amish are mega-based and the U.S. military is all gay trannies.
“Maybe we should put them in charge!” Bill Paxton, Aliens paraphrase
Oops. Sorry.
Ignoring my hatred of the Amish for a moment, most people couldn’t name 3.
So the Amish read these words:
“Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.”
And obeyed.
Died from the flu, pneumonia etc but covid? Yeah right
