Identified only as Peter, the father at the heart of this tragedy is, like many others in Seminole, the small West Texas town at the center of the outbreak, a member of the traditional-minded Christian sect known as Mennonites. There's apparently nothing in that group's doctrine barring modern medicine, but like many other conservative religious groups, many Mennonites are vaccine skeptics.

As someone who is ethnically Mennonite (although I am not religious) and lives in an extremely conservative and religious Mennonite area, I'd say this has far more to do with the Texas aspect than the Mennonite aspect. Mennonites around here at least don't generally have much issue with most vaccines (although there is unfortunately a lot of distrust of the COVID vaccine specifically).
