They can't. The Amish have a religious exemption. I have the same beliefs they do about not receiving blood or vaccines. The government cannot force me, or the Amish, to do anything.

"The government cannot force me, or the Amish, to do anything."

You would be surprised what they can, and do, force you to do.

The issue boils down to this: vaccination in an invasive medical procedure. Invasive medical procedures require consent. Historically, courts have (improperly IMO) intervened when parents of a child refuse consent to a specific procedure to safe the life, under the guise of child welfare. Vaccinations meet none of that criteria. If the courts rule that you and everyone else are required to be vaccinated, they can rule that you and everybody else has to have their gall bladders removed.

My point was that if the courts rule something, it makes it legal for the government to do. Birth certificates become irrelevant.

Ha ha good luck - the Govt/"Healthcare" Mafia is only familiar with the 80% of American Sheeple who fell to their knees for the Covid bioweapon jabs, not with gritty faith-based farmers with actual backbones,

The Amish will win at Scotus and the second circuit court knows it, so this is obviously a shake down to make an example of them by creating a large and unnecessary litigation expense for their community. Defy us and our big pharma overlords and it will cost you millions to relitigate your god given rights to freedom.

This is indeed a crime against humanity. It’s essential that we start dealing with them as such.

It is worth mentioning that autism is not a major issue in Amish communities. Interestingly, they do not embrace vaccination. They grow their own foods, all without chemicals. They do not rely on drugs to treat ill health. Consequently, their children’s immune systems are wholly intact as the body’s number one defense against pathogens. Their kids wear hats and bonnets instead of slathering on sunscreen that prevents the sun from interacting with the skin to produce the active form of Vitamin D.

Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, a believer in home birthing, earned an MD degree from University of Illinois Medical School, an MPH from Medical College of Wisconsin, and a JD from John Marshall Law School. He founded Home First Health Services in 1973 in suburban Chicago, which expanded to four medical centers. By his own account, he and his team delivered over 15,000 babies at home and cared for over 75,000 patients. He was not an advocate of vaccines. He asserted that he saw "no autism to speak of" among his unvaccinated home-birth population, a claim he made publicly throughout his lifetime. Whether that holds up to scrutiny is a separate question as no published peer-reviewed data from his practice exists to verify it, but the claim is accurately attributed to him.

They are desperate to remove the Amish as a control group. Their very existence destroys the “safe & effective” narrative.

The evil scourge needs to get rid of the control group. They don’t want independent thinkers or people living off grid. They want everyone sick, dependent, and dead eventually.

They should move to Florida no mandatory vaccines there

They should stand their ground.

Where do you think the Amish spend their winters? Just go to Sarasota/Bradenton and you’ll see.
