Mothering.com: Anti-Science, Spreading Misinformation on Vaccination

On the subject of vaccines, Mothering.com is staunchly anti-science and anti-vaccine. The header to threads discussing vaccination reads:

Vaccinations On the issues of vaccinations we believe in informed consent. This means we look at both sides of the vaccine issue. However, one of our objectives, and for which members and guests come to our forum, is to bring to light the information that is not mainstream and readily available. Though Mothering does not take a pro or anti stand on vaccinations, we will not host threads on the merits of mandatory vaccine, or a purely pro vaccination view point as this is not conducive to the learning process.

Let me repeat the last two points.

we will not host threads on the merits of mandatory vaccine, or a purely pro vaccination view point as this is not conducive to the learning process.

Can you pronounce the phrase "don't bother us with the facts, our minds are made up"?

To tie this up to the Maggiore story...Peggy O'Mara, publisher of Mothering ragazine, is not only anti-vaccine, but also an AIDS-denialist and is a board member of Alive and Well, Maggiore's organization. Maggiore herself was on the September/October 2001 issue's cover exhorting pregnant women to avoid anti-retroviral treatment.
