if it's not from the church it's not reputable, and they're trained that way by the church from the moment they're kids.

I live in a country where nobody goes to church (France) and we have the same crazy persons.

And I go to church and I'm fully onboard with science, including vaccinations. So it's not church that's the problem, but people being dumb, which neither faith nor atheism can fix.

Meh not just the church, this dude probably gets all his news and science info third hand from Facebook groups fed with disinformation by recycled content from Russian bots

This. This has nothing to do with them reading reputable and non reputable sources. The Mennonites are extremely obedient to whomever their local leaders are, up to and including uprooting and leaving if they decide another location just needs more people. Not using vaccines when a lot of these folks aren't allowed to use the internet is not that much of a stretch.
