Traditional Chinese Medicine Parenting: Question 7 – Should children get vaccinated?

Answer: The Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: "In ancient times, people lived to be over a hundred years old." Back then, there were no vaccines, yet everyone lived long lives, which reflects their pure and natural way of life. A healthy human body naturally has its own form of vaccination. Measles, chickenpox, rubella, mumps, and other such illnesses are natural reactions of the human body as it adapts to communal living, allowing the body to develop resistance and prevent future diseases. This is the body's way of adapting to its environment, functioning as a natural vaccine. Elderly people often say that after a child recovers from measles, they are easier to care for and rarely get sick, which is the best demonstration of this natural vaccination.

Specifically, after recovering from measles, a child will not fear cold winds; after chickenpox, they won't be bothered by changes in humidity or dryness; after mumps, they won't fear the summer heat; and after rubella (also known as wild measles), they won't fear sudden drops in temperature or drastic weather changes.

Today's vaccines, however, block the natural vaccination mechanisms bestowed upon humans by nature. As a result, the immune functions that should be activated by illnesses like measles, chickenpox, mumps, and rubella are suppressed. This leaves the child's body unable to adjust to changes in weather—be it wind, heat, cold, dampness, dryness, or fire—leading to frequent colds. These colds are often treated with anti-inflammatory drugs without distinguishing whether the cause is wind-cold, wind-heat, or summer damp-heat, which only ends up harming our children in the name of disease prevention.

What's even more frustrating is that vaccinations have multiplied in number and are now linked to school admissions, turning what was once a voluntary choice into a mandatory action. Therefore, parents must make their own decisions regarding this matter.
