I agree with Marge's caution, by the way, about using the Internet as a source of information. But when it comes to vaccines, or even to the dangers of Miralax, you don't have to rely on the web pages of individuals or of potentially biased organizations...it's not hard to confirm this stuff just using, for example, the CDC, the FDA, newspapers, etc. I think it's a good practice, actually, after reading a wild claim somewhere, to factcheck it using a variety of sources.
