These are Amish. If they kill a kid, they make another and if they all die, it was God's will.

    Where did learn that they’re Amish? The PA DOH isn’t giving out any personal details.

    The Atlantic found out what family it was based on death records and ended up speaking with them.

    There's nothing explicitly against vaccination for the Amish IIRC, but they're generally distrustful of modern medicine so their vaccination rates remain low.
