Interesting stuff I just stumbled across, ignore if it's old news.
Note to Lurking Woo "Disrespect" Patrols: my Subject line is the title of the article.

Since its very inception, the Huffington Post has been a hotbed of antivaccine lunacy.
Shortly after that, antivaccine woo-meisters like David Kirby, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Kimg Stagliano, and, apparently, one of the editors (Special Projects Editor Rachel Sklar) were joined by all-purpose woo-meisters like Deepak Chopra.
True, for a brief period of time there appeared to be an occasional voice for vaccines on HuffPo, but they never lasted. After all, RFK, Jr.'s been there nearly four years now and David Kirby almost as long, while pro-vaccine commentary pops up briefly, gets shouted down by the woo-loving antivaccinationists who frequent the comments sections of posts, swooping down like Cyber Sisters (and Brothers) to drive them from the blog. http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2009/03/the_huffington_post_delves_deeper_into_t.php
