I have noticed, with interest and concern, your one-sided articles and cartoons regarding immunizations. As the mother of a child who suffered a severe reaction to a series of vaccines, I have done much research on this subject. Legitimate resources provide a balanced coverage of this issue and there is plenty of information that is worrisome.

I would suggest that media personnel talk in a nonjudgmental way to people who have decided to opt out of immunizations. Really listen to what they have to say. Do some in-depth research. You might not change your mind, but you should gain a better understanding of why some of your neighbors are concerned about the effects of vaccines on their children.
