Mennonite and Amish communities don't generally get vaccinated. But then, they live in relatively isolated communities.
I had one idiot on Facebook try to tell me that the low incidence of COVID-19 among the Amish was evidence of "natural herd immunity". But it doesn't work that way. You can't have immunity until you have been exposed, and you can't have herd immunity until a large enough population within a community has been exposed, either naturally or through immunization. The low incidence of COVID-19 among the Amish was because they isolated themselves. This is similar to the low rate among Scandinavian school children in the countries that didn't close their schools. They also immediately shut their borders and isolated themselves. If we hadn't shut our schools we would have had a couple million dead in 2020 alone. There would be no way to keep the school children from spreading it among themselves and bring it home to the more vulnerable adults.
