Vaccinations

Our holistic parent website would not be complete without a thorough debate on
vaccines. The vaccine debate can illicit extremely emotional responses from both
viewpoints. This debate is also quite lengthy. This is a topic I have exhaustingly
studied for the past five years, and one I am very passionate about.

Before I begin, I would like to give a little background information on how I reached the
conclusions that I have. I spent four years of my life obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in
nursing. I was taught plenty of information regarding the pros of vaccination. Never
was a word spoken to acknowledge the ever growing debate on vaccines. I have also
spent time working in a pediatrician’s office in a random act of poor judgment. There
was, of course, no recognition of various side effects of vaccines here. Any parent
asking to delay vaccines or outright refusing them was labeled by the staff as one of
the “weird” parents. Despite all this “advanced” training in the safety and efficacy of
vaccines, I still had a gnawing feeling in my gut. I didn’t feel the arguments regarding
vaccine safety were truly sound. When it came to my own son, leaving the decision to
the “experts” just didn’t feel right. This is when I began the long journey of trying to
understand the great vaccine debate. I poured over books, magazine articles, studies,
and websites to obtain any and all information that I could. What I feel is most
interesting about my search is the absolute resolve in my decision regarding vaccines
came when I independently began to study health and how the body works. It would be
easy to think I had learned enough of that in nursing school, but surprisingly, I feel I
obtained an explosion of information once finishing school that will never appear in a
medical textbook.

The official position of TheHolisticParent.ORG is that vaccines are extremely toxic to
the body, which cannot and will not produce health, making vaccines neither safe nor
effective and unnecessary in each and every case. I know to some reading this will
seem like a huge assertion that will illicit feelings of outrage. Before you give up and
click away from our site, at least do yourself a favor and hear me out.

Not many people set out to be against vaccines solely for the purpose of wanting to be
against them. It’s usually when people start to educate themselves, their eyes become
opened to the many issues surrounding vaccines. The people opposing vaccines do
not hold this viewpoint for the fun of it. I’ll be the first to admit that if vaccines were
100% safe and effective as they are toted and do exactly what they are supposed to do
and nothing more; then they would be wonderful! This is just absolutely not the case
though, and we cannot ignore this any longer. Be prepared to have your mind blown
when finished reading this section in its entirety. This could perhaps be your first
encounter with the vaccine controversy. It is my goal to do this topic justice. So, without
further ado, let’s begin the debate.

“I am, and have
been for years, a
confirmed anti-
vaccinationist…I
have not the least
doubt in my mind
that vaccination is a
filthy process that is
harmful in the end."
