The article linked below is from 2005, but was recently referenced on X. Apparently, Tucker Carlson said something positive about the Amish on Joe Rogan Show recently, and now the knives are out...
From the article:
>>>But their children have medical conditions so rare, doctors don't have names for them yet, reports correspondent Vicki Mabrey. The Amish make up only about 10 percent of the population in Geagua County in Ohio, but they're half of the special needs cases. Three of the five Miller children, for example, have a mysterious crippling disease that has no name and no known cure.
>>>The three Byler sisters were all born with a condition that has no cure and mysteriously leads to severe mental retardation and a host of physical problems. Last year, doctors figured out the girls have the gene for something called Cohen Syndrome; there are only 100 known cases worldwide. Since then, more than a dozen other cases of Cohen's have been discovered in Ohio Amish country.
>>>But for so many years, the Amish have had no names for these disorders. It was simply a mystery why half the headstones in Amish cemeteries were headstones of children.
