Editor:

The Cortez Journal needs a lesson on reporting news events instead simply being a propaganda mouthpiece.

You failed to mention in your article that by law, parents can choose to exempt their children from vaccines for medical reasons religious or personal beliefs.

In fact, in 2011 Colorado ranked second in the country for vaccine refusals.

Report all the facts if you are going to report on something. Come on. This is journalism 101.

Editor’s note: Colorado allows exemptions for medical, religious and philosophical reasons.
