The Amish don't get AUTISM, PERIOD! Ummm... they also don't get VACCINATED...PERIOD.
Ummm...I wonder if 2 + 2 still equals four?? In my pre-millenial, private-school-educated, JBS-leaning brain, yes, it still does. Not only is this posting on another message board full of information, it is a WAKE UP CALL to every one who still believes in religious freedom, and FREEDOM FROM FORCED VACCINATION.
New York State is telling the Amish community there that they can no longer permit their children to go unvaccinated and to attend their own, separate Amish schools. HOW EVIL AND LUDICROUS!!!

I am not Amish, but I am of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, and was born in Reading...not far from Lancaster County (the HEART of the American Amish community) where my brother was born. I know the Amish well, and they have several small communities near me in northern Maine now. Maybe this will bring more of these fine, decent, hard-working, moral people up here. The more the merrier, I say.
New York's STUPID loss could be our gain.

Oh...and where's The Donald??? DO NOT FORGET these are the people he should be defending...people who stand as a community against forced vaccination...something the Donald was supposed to be against himself, until (apparently) he wasn't....
The Amish don't get autism, amazing. That should be the end of the argument. What is JBS-leaning?
She just full of it...like usual. Where they get that from is that a reporter Dan Olmstead conducted a non scientic study in Lancaster County, one of the largest Amish communities and asked a person how many children in the special needs classroom had autism, to which she replied two that went to school there and one other who didn't attend school there that she knew of, of the three two had been vaccinated. Since then conspiracy sites have taken it and ran with it like it was scientific fact.
A real scientific study done on the Amish showed that one out of 376 Amish kids has Autism, this rate is lower than the national average and so are Amish vaccination rates but a study was also done in an Amish community who didn't have easy access to medical care if they vaccinated they children. Out of one thousand surveyed they received almost half back which 68% claimed their children got vaccinated, the findings found that the Amish as a whole do vaccinate but they are more selective about what vaccines they do get, it's a smaller percentage that don't vaccinate at all. Their national rate for Autism is lower but that could be related to any number of reasons than just vaccines such as they live a healthier life style.
...and no, NY isn't forcing Amish to shut down their schools and go to public schools. The court ruling was that private schools could no longer not vaccinate the kids and that each day a child who is not vaccinated is allowed to attend the school could face a two thousand dollar fine for each kid.
Thank you standing up and telling the truth here on Steemit. It scares me the levels of ignorance that spread and take hold here, permanently burnt into the block-chain. Happy New Year!
Sometimes it can be a real hoot if you read the articles then check out the links before reading the comments...then you realize just how many people are willing to take what the person wrote at their word without regard to linking up to the story and see what they wrote isn't even how it went down in the story. Granted I get around as a blogger and I read dozens of articles a week so I am a bit more alert if something doesn't sound right or seems to have a tinge of bias. The one's that really kill me and are a dead giveaway that something isn't right in Denmark are the people who'll source the article out to belonging to the front page of a website listing current news. (lol)....you then have to go on a google hunt to find what it is up with that, ninety nine percent of the time they are way off track with what they are writing. Happy New Year to you too.
