The Amish do not take political stances, so I highly doubt that they subscribe to the never ending conspiracy theories. It does appear that Big Pharma, as evil as they may be, is not the reason why "some" Amish parents do not want to vaccinate their kids.
Vaccinations have never been the panacea for all ailments and I don't know that anybody has claimed that.
So to my Amish friends: I love your peacefulness and respect your right to privacy. But please do not withhold necessary life saving medical services from your kids. Jesus would not approve.
I can understand being skeptical of "certain" vaccines. But to summarily reject all of them is the definition of wackiness.
