Mennonites (and Amish) aren’t necessarily against vaccines. vaccination rates are low, but that has less to do with the vaccine and more just generally distrusting doctors (who have abused their trust.) Vaccines and modern health care aren’t against their teachings.
I’ve read an interview with the father of this dead child, and no, he’s not against it for religious reasons. I’m sure his religion indoctrinated him into distrusting vaccines, but he is against it because he thinks that there are negative health consequences which are worse than the chance of death.
