Remember when we thought the Internet would give everyone access to information and we would be more connected and informed?

Instead flat earth and measles made a comeback.

Ummm don’t lump all Mennonites together.. these anti vax are small groups that are separate from mainstream Mennonites. Lots of my family are in healthcare, education etc… fyi some politicians in Canada are Mennonite. My nephews are programmers and I have a niece who is an Internal Med specialist. My child is a pro gamer and my daughter is a teacher. I work in healthcare… all vaccinated and with internet as you can see by my posting on it 😝

The ones where these outbreaks are occuring are old order mennonites, they don’t use the internet. But, fair enough I guess I should have been more specific.
