Displaying 211 To 240 Of 259 Comments “I also think there is more evidence mounting that the preservatives they use to use in childhood vaccines may be the greatest factor with the vaccine autism connection.” Yes, people are concerned about that as well as the synergistic effects I mentioned above. The preservatives, though, are used in other vaccines and maybe even the H1N1 which is a large part of the concern over that. Again, as long the scientistic (not scientific) dogma prevents these question from being taken seriously, the research will not be done, and we will never know for sure! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 9:09 pm Condolences regarding your friend. How terribly sad! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 9:06 pm No, that’s exactly right – especially the autism connection, which circumstantantially is from the non-flu vaccines given in early childhood. And they give a chitload more of ’em nowadays than they did waaayyyy back in my time. The flu vaccines may have other issues, but I’m not up on those arguments one way or another. I personally do not take flu vaccines myself, but that’s due to my particular circumstances which would take forever to explain (maybe someday, not here). » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 8:45 pm “I get more real info from fellow posters than from HP articles themselves.” Ditto! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 8:34 pm I’m another refugee from HP, but I gotta say I’m on the middle on the vaccine question. (Yes, I have a science background, too.) I particularly sympathize with those who are seeing clinical connections between vaccines & autism, only to get shot down and called everything in the derogatory spectrum. Science is only as good as the questions it asks, and it – especially medical science – seems to be very poor about asking questions regarding synergistic interactions. The autism parents, in general, are not singling out any one vaccine as the culprit, but rather the increasing practice of giving infants multiple doses of various vaccines in their first year. These vaccines could be safe by themselves, but it’s not hard to imagine the adverse effects that could come from repeated and rapid dosing. And since the question is not allowed to be asked, the research will not be done, and we’ll apparently never know. Very sad, imo. » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 6:54 pm Vote Now for PlanetPOV’s Top Posts of 2009! Hewlett-Packard 😉 just kidding – HP is sometimes used to abbreviate HuffingtonPost. » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 5:14 pm good point, nellie. I was just thinking about how easy it would be to post another anti-huff comment (they do give us plenty of material), but I held back because – enough huff is enough! Srsly, I think it’s important to keep an eye on Huff and any other site that proclaims to speak for us. Our input can make a difference : in the few hours since I’ve been watching the article on Menendez’s response to “dropping like flies” HP has totally changed its headline into something reasoned and accurate. You have to wonder why they couldn’t get it right in the first place, but I also know it wouldn’t have happened except for the comments. And srsly again, I think it’s important that while we’re keeping an eye on Huff and whoever, we also need to stay balanced and be grown-ups about it! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 4:44 pm Hi, AdLib ~ I kind of figured PlanetPOV would need its own Zazzle store. Thanks to everyone who’s checked out my store since I posted it http://www.zazzle.com/jan4insight* last night and also here. I am working to develop this along with my other sites as a supplementary income stream – I’m self-employed and I need all the income streams I can get – so I hope once in a while someone will find something I’ve designed that’s worth purchasing. There’s a way it can work to benefit everyone. Zazzle has an affiliate program, so for anyone who enters Zazzle through my link and makes a purchase from PlanetPOV’s zazzle-to-be, I get a referral bonus, which helps both parties. It also works the other way around. I know it’s a bit early to get to this level of detail, but I thought I’d throw it out there – so I won’t feel left in the dust as PlanetPOV’s store takes off while I poke along with just a couple of sales a month 🙁 » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 2:08 pm TY again 🙂 And btw, the quality of their products is superb. I’ve purchased some of my own products, plus seen the business cards I designed for several clients, and they all look great. The canvas prints I recently purchased of 2 of my designs are drop-dead gorgeous! » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 11:38 pm Ty, Em. Just thought I’d throw out the offer, and we’ll see if something can be worked out (but it’s way too late now to talk business arrangements 🙂 ) » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 11:33 pm ty, escri! I’ve had a lot of fun with Zazzle, and while I’m not getting rich yet 😉 the sales are gradually building up for me. Like any type of online marketing, you need to promote promote and promote some more! » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 11:31 pm Maybe I could help – I have a store on Zazzle – give me a design & I can put it on t-shirts, bumperstickers, mugs, buttons, hats, etc. They can then be ordered online from just about anywhere in the world. Here’s my store: http://www.zazzle.com/jan4insight* » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 11:09 pm TY to everyone, again 🙂 I’ve gotten such a warm welcome here, I can’t keep up with it all – so if I haven’t thanked you by name, my apologies. I’m sure I’ll be crossing paths (and maybe swords 😉 ) with you all on these threads in the day to come. Cheers! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 8:31 pm Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome! Good to see so many HP friends here – it feels like a real community already, and all ready to shore up the left against those who would fracture it and otherwise do the Repug’s work for them. We’ll keep it together – Yes, We Can! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 4:35 pm good on ya, nellie! I’m on board – let me know what I can do! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 4:32 pm Hi, Khirad – good to see you here 🙂 I’ll have to catch Colbert’s cabinet head interviews; I somehow missed them. But, Stewart has also done a good series – good to know we’ve got the Comedy Central stalwarts in our corner! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 4:31 pm Hello, Chernynkaya et al. I’m new to this site – a former Hufffoxington Post devotee, now there only to stick my finger in the dike against AH’s apparent agenda of fracturing the left so badly we hand the country back to the Repug’s. I’m really glad I found this site, and hope to be a regular reader & contributor. I’d like to thank you for your diligent research on this topic and your clear posting of the results here. One thing I’d like to contribute: It alarmed me to see how little attention is being given to the actual work of the various Cabinet heads and the departments under them. However, I’ve found a great antidote: The Daily Show! Yes, America’s most trusted newsman, Jon Stewart, has made a point of inviting each of the new Cabinet heads on the show to explain about what they’re doing to reclaim their department from the ravages of Bushco (my interpretation). Anyone who follows that series of interviews will find that there is A LOT OF GOOD STUFF GOING ON. This is something you sadly won’t see in the msm, and definitely not on HP. Good work PlanetPOV – carry on 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 3:50 pm HI, Gretel – I just found this site after total disgust with H Post, and it’s good to see you here, too. Hope some of our other HuffFoxingtonPost friends join in 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 3:42 pm Un(der)reported News—Year in Review OOOpps – my first day here, and already I’m breakin’ da rules! Got a Coke in my fridge with your name on it! Or, Pepe, you could just figure that great minds think alike 😉 » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 6:56 pm Imo, the most underreported story of 2009 was the corporate sponsorship, initiation, and coordination of the so-called “grassroots” Tea Party movement. Yes, we soon picked up the useful moniker “astroturf” to debunk their pretense of being a people’s movement, but in fact the ties to rightwingers and insurance co. boards are long and deep. This was a deliberate, orchestrated effort to derail health care reform. Now they are branching out into deep-sixing climate change legislation, and I’ve even heard some quarters calling them a “legitimate” movement (you can kill me now 😛 ) For my sources on the funding & sponsorship ties, I refer you to the estimable Rachel Maddow. This, along with C Street, has been prominent on her show for most of this year. If I knew how to nominate Rachel & staff for the Pulitzer Prize over this, I would do it! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 6:41 pm lol, 5 cheezburgers for da kitteh! » Posted By jan4insight On January 7, 2010 @ 10:22 am Bundle up, Tiger! And thanks for fanning me on that other site; I’ve just fanned you back 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 7, 2010 @ 9:32 am LOL 😀 Since I survived the cholla I guess I can handle the scan! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 3:43 pm Which theory, bito, the cholla-removal or the body scanner? 😉 It really did happen – I got a cholla piece caught in the back of my knee once on a field trip to Saguaro Natl Monument. Fortunately I was wearing long pants of sturdy canvas, but it still hurt like H. Someone in my group had a comb & used that to remove it! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 3:29 pm Just in ~ A counter to the Dropping Like Flies booger that HP flung at the Dems last nite ~ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/06/dsccs-menendez-democrats_n_413631.html Speculation is rife among the commentors as to how long before the entire thread gets scrubbed, because it’s so contrary the Dogma according to AH – so read it before it’s gone! Btw, whether you like Sam Stein or not, I’ve found that his columns are rarely moderated, so it’s good place to strut your stuff as well as leave invites to POV. 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 3:26 pm But if you do get attacked by a cholla segment (it happened to me, once) a good-sized pocket comb is this best implement to free yourself from it 🙂 Wonder if the pocket combs will pass through the body scanners? » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 11:55 am I’ve seen that pic before, it’s a reference to the tinfoil-hat meme around the conspiracy theorists. Or maybe he is getting a new ‘do. In any case, I think it’s funny 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 10:32 am Yes, I had the same same problem – I guess there’s no formatting feature built into the bio. I was going to use 3 or 4 quotes but they all ran together, so I just used one that was short & sweet ~ “I don’t belong to any organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 10:20 am I’ll never forget when she said it would be “fun” to nuke N. Korea 😛 » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 10:10 am They have changed the main now, to something more innocuous. They do their bad-boy for an hour or so until they get too many complaints from the intelligent readers! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 10:09 amComments Posted By jan4insight
