Lucky i am far away from you, people around you seem to get sick and die at a rate well above average from this covid thing.
That begs the question why would that be?

Can it be the exact opposite lifestyle to the Amish or the liking what they dont like, government, public shools, health care system

Well, I've had COVID-19 myself and survived it (although it gave me hell). I hope it hasn't caused any permanent health damage. At that time (Jan 2021) vaccines where not available for my age group.

In my social circle (friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances), I've had this so far:

Total pool: 500+ people.
COVID-19 deaths (unvaccinated): 10 (those that I can recall).
COVID-19 deaths (vaccinated -- any type): NONE.
Vaccine side-effects: Minimal (gone in 2-3 days) to none.
Close to me: 2 people, one very old, the second one is the recent one (45 y.o.).

I don't know how significant the above data is, and if my original post made WO so dirty or whatever. This is what it is, take it as you may. I present the data, it may be skewed, incomplete, small sample, and whatever else you can say about it. The reader can draw his/her own conclusions.

About the Amish, I don't know if you're joking or not (no offense, I hope you are serious). I don't really know, maybe their way of life protects them somehow. I haven't studied them much in relation to COVID-19. I did, however, watch a documentary, in which many showed some hypocrisy, in that deep down they appeared to crave the "normal" way of life. I felt they felt oppressed and wanting to "get out" so to speak. So, COVID-19 numbers may be better for them, but not sure in other aspects of life, psychologically, etc.
