I would like to contribute some additional information to this discussion. Please understand that I hold a strong opposition to all vaccines due to a personal incident I experienced when I was 12, which nearly resulted in my death (Tetanus). I want to clarify that I am not contradicting the statements made by Steve Kirsch; rather, I am providing some further insights.
I have a close friend who was raised in an Amish family, and her family continues to maintain their Amish lifestyle. I had the opportunity to discuss and share the video in question with her when it was circulating previously. According to her, while it is true that most Amish people do not vaccinate, it's important to note that they typically refrain from seeking medical assistance unless their condition is extremely severe. In cases of ailments such as Autism, the Amish community tends to attribute it to possession by a malevolent spirit or Demon. My friend herself was labeled as such due to her struggles with depression. Consequently, a child exhibiting symptoms of Autism would be subjected to rigorous methods aimed at expelling the perceived entity from their body. It is unlikely that they would seek professional medical help for such conditions, as Autism and ADHD are generally not discussed or well-understood within the Amish community.
Furthermore, it may come as a surprise to many, but numerous Amish communities have practitioners known as "witch doctors" called Brauche or Pow Wow Doctors. In instances where a community lacks such a practitioner, families may travel to seek their assistance if a situation becomes dire. This revelation was particularly shocking to me when my friend shared it.
Considering the unique characteristics of the Amish community, it would not be surprising for the US Government to have conducted studies or collected data pertaining to them.
