The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we're now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life; examines the role of fever, the gut, and cellular fluid in immune health; argues that vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a complex immune response; and asserts that the medical establishment has engaged in an authoritarian argument that robs parents of informed consent. His ultimate question, from the point of view of a doctor who has decades of experience treating countless children is: What are we really doing to children when we vaccinate them?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39328474955876,"sku":"9781603587778","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/vaccines-autoimmunity-and-the-changing-nature-of-childhood-illness","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
