My parents family doctor of 25+ years threatened to stop seeing them if they didn’t take it. They didnt take it thank God. He didn’t refuse services, but he damn sure pressured her and my dad every chance he got.

Sounds like they all did what they thought was best.

Of course the insurance company wanted to push vaccinations as opposed to hospitals overflowing with people dying on ventilators…can you imagine what insurance paid on every one of those patients?

Insurance promotes and incentivizes treatment that reduces overall costs by reducing serious illness and hospitalizations. Weird. Obviously fishy.

Because it’s not being paid by the entity (vaccine manufacturer) that is profiting from sale. It’s being paid by the entity that stands to save money from widespread usage of the vaccine.

How do you tie your shoes?

Read the charges. She wrote a prescription for a patient she had never examined. The patient was in a hospital she didn’t have privileges at. That’s pretty serious and basic stuff.

Amazing that an organization that has ~85-90% of its expenses go to medical costs would incentivize its members to get the known poison vaccine to only push that # higher.


Was there an incentive from the US Dept of Health to insurers?

If only doctors acted as diagnosticians instead of bots. Once the FEIII interference mechanism was known the treatment regimes should have changed. They didn't.

I wonder why an insurance company would incentivize doctors to give a $125 vaccine.

Maybe because the data shows it prevents a $10,000 hospitalization.

Doctors should be required to inform patients if there are direct financial incentives for the treatments they are recommending.

Ok, I get that, but that’s NOT what the vaccine was advertised as and that’s NOT the reason it was given special exemption and fast tracked to market.

Just a not-so-subtle reminder that people with enough power see no obligation towards morality or laws if it impedes their pursuit of "utopia".

The Twitter post from Elon that you posted was from 2021. He has since changed his stance on the Covid vax

Agreed. There is a site openpayments.cms.gov that allows you to look up physicians and see quite a bit of detail on their income. My GI doc for instance, gets paid by Abbvie, inc monthly. Made over $100k in 2022 from them. Just so happens they produce Humira. Been on it for years. He's also gets paid by Pfizer and some smaller pharmaceutical companies. Most entries are listed as "Compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program".

Many of us knew about the health insurance “incentives” related to COVID back in April of 2020 and posted the numbers here. We knew they did this with the vaccines. We tried to warn the smooth brains on the OT. Welcome to years ago.

They should. They’re required to tell you that they’re part owners in a surgery facility when they suggest the place that they prefer. Which they’re part owners of.


This should be the same.
