I am a Los Alamos native (from 1951) and a lifelong New Mexican. I was always proud to have been born and raised in Los Alamos. I can recall getting the polio vaccine on the sugar cubes at Pueblo school many, many years ago and how everyone was supportive of that prevention effort. 

Now I find that Los Alamos, Taos and Santa Fe counties have become the lowest vaccine compliance counties in the state. How is it that these citizens have become so ignorant and non-scientific. 

Dona Ana County now seems, in my estimation, way smarter in general than these northern outposts of ignorance.
