A lot of great info to think about and discuss with my husband. I would say this is super informative. But like all things, I need to do more research and follow my mom instinct on his to move forward on this topic.
This highlights delaying and skipping some vaccines. Not anti-vax but pro-choice is how I would explain this book.

I’ll be keeping this book on my shelf for reference for many years to come! It was a great book that was very informative on vaccines and child rearing in general. I had expected that it would be entirely about vaccines, however it was full of information on how to keep your kids healthy and why he recommended (or didn’t recommend) certain practices! I didn’t agree 100% with everything said (good thing I can form my own opinions), but I found it an enlightening read and I learned some things too!

Ironically, this book was more about walking parents through pregnancy, infants, toddlers and teenagers from a pediatrician’s perspective of what they are looking for at each doctor visit. He also tries to give middle of the road approaches to vaccines but I wish there were better sources in general than just his own practice but I get it there aren’t a lot of studies.

Read chapter 12 first!
This is a well-written book with 306 research-based citations. Even though it was published in 2016, Dr. Paul has since update his recommendations as far as what to get and what to skip.
He has recommendations that I disagree with, but I’m comfortable with the research I’ve done to come to those decisions.

I found this book to be informative. I highly recommend it if you are on the fence about vaccines.

If you only read one book as a parent PLEASE make it this book! I loved absolutely everything Dr. Paul said. This book was not only extremely well written with lots of great information but it was very well researched.
Even if you have your mind made up about vaccines (for or against) I think you will find this book helpful. He talks about much more than just vaccines. He talks a lot about toxins in general and has helpful and practical information on how to limit your exposure to them.
I have as hooked after the first chapter and hi-lighted half the book. This will be a book I reference many times throughout my child's life. Hands down the best book for parents out there.

I love this book, and have bought it for several pregnant friends. After listening to “The Truth about Vaccines” I found out the two speakers I liked best (calm, informed, practical) had written a book together! This book is a great resource to help you figure out what the right vaccine strategy is for your family. Good age appropriate advice for parents too in maintaining kids health as they grow.
