Trump Claims He’s Above the Law, Threatens Maine Governor
A conspiracy theory linking Amish longevity to unvaccinated status and unpasteurized milk consumption may have influenced Trump’s views. However, a 2014 Ohio measles outbreak, affecting nearly 400 individuals, primarily within Amish communities, demonstrates the dangers of vaccine hesitancy. This outbreak, detailed in *The New England Journal of Medicine*, prompted approximately 10,000 Amish people to get vaccinated. The theory ignores the significant public health benefits of pasteurization and vaccination.
