  I joke now about how anti-vaxxers put out feelers, little social cues that help us recognize each other at playgroups and baby yoga. If you saw a kid wearing an amber teething necklace—a legitimate choking hazard, by the way—you were 90 per cent sure that baby wasn’t vaccinated. That was your window. You’d notice things: hand-knit sweaters, homemade baby food in glass jars, tiny wool booties. These weren’t just parenting choices. They were signals. If you picked up on enough of them, you knew you’d found someone “crunchy” like you.
