I am dubious about certain things published in the mainstream media. The only information they publish about COVID is the standard narrative. Anyone who mentions something that deviates from this is ignored or censored. I have very little confidence in the Associated Press [cited in an Aug. 4 item on page 5 about the Amish and vaccinations] being the final arbiter of truth in this matter. The statement that “a 2011 study found only 14% of Amish people didn’t vaccinate their children at all” would be more informative if the study’s authors were listed, along with who funded the study and if there were any conflicts of interest. I would like more details before drawing conclusions.
