One in six American women experience sexual assault in their lifetime, most frequently when they are young. A marriage license doesn't protect against that.

No it doesn’t. There are far worse things then HPV that can be acquired through rape.

Sexual assault though is a very vague thing though.

The vaccine lasts a long time, at least 10-12 years and potentially much longer. So if you vaccinate your teen they are probably good to go through their entire 20s or longer. 8 by the research I saw. Either way, my point was the risk for non promiscuous youth is almost zero. Your risk of catching ...

HPV is most commonly transmitted sexually but the virus can spread through non-sexual contact. If your child dies of cancer because you chose not to have them vaccinated at age 11 that is on you. At that age the parents are making the medical decisions, not the child. Voluntary sex isn't the only w...

I love my distiller.

Perhaps Amish don’t live in complete filth and walk barefoot across human faeces on the ground. Perhaps you haven’t considered a few points in this “argument” 1: Some Amish spread human manure on crop fields which may or may not be treated. 2: are you aware of which animals hookworms infest? Perhap...

I’m simply looking at overall health. Overall, Amish communities do better in basically every metric. Due to that, I would be hesitant to condemn their lifestyle as unhealthy, considering they get better outcomes than my demographic and others do. That’s what I thought. Hookworms are less common to...

Amish children have better health than their non-Amish neighbours. There is simply not a health risk to being barefoot, at least in Amish communities. So… your evidence is anecdotal based on individual contacts from the few southern Amish communities? Or are you speaking of your larger quantities o...

My children rarely wear shoes when school is out. This morning my 11 year old left at 4:00 am to go hoe weeds in a field 2-3 hours away. He forgot his shoes. A few years back they got warts. Not sure if that comes from going bare footed or not. But no hook worms. One did cut his bare foot years ago...

So any claims that the Amish did better or worse than the general population is just made up nonsense or anecdotal assertions not based on any actual data or evidence. As is the case with the study referenced here. Which is about children anyway who were rarely affected by COVID in the first place....
