That? Does that say (the Amish purposely exposed themselves in mass)? Note the word "who" after Amish? It distinguishes them from the Amish as whole or the Amish 'who' didn't purposely expose themselves in mass. If we take out the word 'who' from what I wrote, your claim that I extrapolated a broad case concept for all Amish might carry validity, but the word 'who' distinguishes a subset within the Amish. The Amish who are women would not like us to express that the Amish are women. Who introduces a whole new meaning within a sentence? See what I did there?
Yes, OK, the interviewer was a woman, the respondents were Amish. I missed that detail. The full quote from your link with a question from the interviewer, acknowledgment and approval from the Amish man, was:
Sharyl (interviewer): So, it's safe to say there was a whole different approach here in this community when coronavirus broke out than many other places?
Calvin Lapp (Amish man): Absolutely.
You're attempting to apply an absolute whole to a general group/class label. In other words, you're presenting sophistry as an argument to disqualify these men as the Amish
My comment was the exact opposite. I was trying to to say the question and acknowledgement by the Amish man in the article about COVID herd immunity reflected the opinion of one, single, individual Amish person, not a general group or class:
"Her comment is certainly true for her personally, perhaps for her community. Is it true for all Amish communities, 10’s of thousands of Amish individuals across the Midwest? I doubt it." - HOTPE
You, in your post tried to extrapolate that into a broad based concept for all Amish
the Amish who purposely exposed themselves in mass
So, you missed the part where she was the interviewer and not the Amish and the part where the word "who" distinguishes a sub category of the Amish.
?
This is fascinating and amusing all at the same time, but I have a fence section to install.

Seriously? Where do you get your news?
Currently the folks in Sweden are just like the rest of the folks over there.. experiencing an increase in infection rates, and considering, putting in place, further restrictions and mandates.
From https://www.politico.eu/article/sweden-a...ronavirus/
In Sweden... concerns are rising about a looming fourth wave. There are currently no restrictions on gatherings and no mask mandate, but on Wednesday the government said that, from December 1, only those who can prove full vaccination may attend indoor events for more than 100 people.
Evidently you didn't read the article you cited, because it enforces what I wrote. Go back and read it ALL again, this time, very carefully.
So the question is, why are so many people here incapable of comprehending what they read? Seems to be an infectious thing going on.
Definitely time to split and install my fence section, I fear a zombie apocalypse is approaching next.
