The Palmers espoused anti-vaccination opinions in the early part of the 20(th) century, rejecting the germ theory of disease in favor of a worldview that a subluxation-free spine, achieved by spinal adjustments, would result in an unfettered innate intelligence; this, along with other healthful lifestyle choices, would allow a person to thwart disease by marshaling the body's natural recuperative abilities. Some chiropractors continue to staunchly champion the Palmer postulates, while others do not. At the national level, advocacy organizations publish conflicting position statements. We explore how this divisiveness has impacted chiropractic ideology, perceptions among students and practitioners, politics and issues of jurisprudence as reflected by the evolution of a standard of chiropractic practice in at least one Canadian province (Ontario). We opine that the chiropractic profession should champion a health promotion and disease prevention approach to vaccination, which would allow it to align itself with the broader healthcare community while not abandoning its traditional tenets.
帕尔默夫妇在20世纪初拥护反疫苗接种观点，他们摒弃了疾病的病菌理论，转而支持这样一种世界观：通过脊椎调整实现无半脱位的脊椎会带来不受束缚的先天智能；这一点，连同其他健康的生活方式选择，将使一个人能够通过调动身体的自然恢复能力来抵御疾病。一些脊椎按摩师继续坚定地捍卫帕尔默的假设，而另一些人则不然。在国家层面，倡导组织发布了相互矛盾的立场声明。我们探讨了这种分歧如何影响脊椎按摩疗法的意识形态、学生和从业者的认知、政治以及法理学问题，这一点在加拿大至少一个省份（安大略省）脊椎按摩疗法实践标准的演变中得到了体现。我们认为，脊椎按摩疗法专业应该倡导一种促进健康和预防疾病的疫苗接种方法，这将使其能够与更广泛的医疗保健界保持一致，同时又不放弃其传统原则。
