Free-Flowing Money to Corrupt the Doctor-Patient Relationship by Incentivizing Vaccinations

How to corrupt the doctor-patient relationship: Quietly pay doctors to recommend vaccinations. What better way to convince doctors to downplay vaccination side-effects, most recently with the COVID vaccinations. I would prefer that my doctor not be paid anything by anyone, so that I am getting the doctor's free and unbiased judgment regarding treatment the doctor recommends. Excerpt:

Fake?

The AP attacked the claim that doctors receive $400 bonuses reaching some $40,000 per year, for getting those 39 vaccines into a baby on time. Yet, while determining the claim to be “false,” they clarify that their objection is just that it's not one price scheme for the entire nation.

CLAIM: Blue Cross Blue Shield pays doctors a $40,000 bonus for administering childhood immunizations to at least 100 patients under 2 years old and an $80,000 bonus for vaccinating 200 children.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Blue Cross Blue Shield Association is a national federation of more than three dozen locally operated companies, and doesn’t offer such an incentive across the board . . . [Emphases added].

The AP went on to say that the $400 bonus and 63% benchmark are in fact the exact figures for the incentives offered in Michigan.

The document that blog post referred to was a 2016 edition of a Performance Recognition Program specifically for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Care Network of Michigan. In a table titled “Quality Incentive Measures,” the program lays out that doctors who meet 63% of their plan goal for childhood immunizations receive a $400 payout. [Emphasis added].

The only real correction offered by the AP was that the doctors were not as successful as assumed in getting all those shots in the babies' arms. The payouts in 2016, in Michigan, topped out at $9,600. At $400 each, that translates to just 24 fully vaccinated babies.

One more excerpt, this time focusing Robert Malone's article on incentives paid to to doctors to incentivize the COVID jabs:

Dr. Robert Malone, an inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, revealed a similar, but even more rewarding, incentive program that was quietly provided to physicians to push mRNA injections. The program provides physicians with some $380,000 annually based on an average of 1,800 unique patient visits per year per medical practice...

The only way insurance companies could profit from more vaccinations would be if the government reimbursed them more than the combined costs to the insurance companies of purchasing the vaccinations and paying the bonuses. Dr. Malone confirms that this is exactly the case with COVID vaccines, as the money, which originates with the federal government, covers the costs of the vaccinations, the physicians' bonuses and the profit of the insurance companies. It is, therefore, tax dollars that are being passed from the government to the insurance companies to the doctors:

CDC and Corporate News Media Profoundly Disinterested in Reedley, California Nightmare-Level Illegal Biolab

Almost no news media coverage of this surreal situation: CDC disinterest in an illegal Chinese-funded lab with pouches of ebola, transgenic mice with COVID-19 and other extreme hazards. No coverage by NYT, CNN, MSNBC or NPR. Only one day of token bury-the-lede coverage by WaPo. See the 8-minute video at Twitter explaining how the city of Reedley, California rang the alarm, crying out for help to the CDC, which reluctantly, ultimately, did a shitty job of "investigating" this lab, despite ubiquitous evidence of dangerous wrongdoing.

Jonathan Haidt: How to Save Our Children from Smart Phones and Social Media

Jonathan Haidt: The combination of social media plus smart phones is irreparably damaging grade schoolers and middle schoolers. He offers this advice:

1. No smart phones before high school, when they are 14 (only flip phones)

2. No social media until age 16.

3. Phone free schools. No phones even in backpack. They must be kept in a locker.

4. Far more free play and unsupervised play to develop childhood independence.

Anthony Fauci’s Support and Denial of Gain of Function Research

How is it that the same man who actively funded gain of function research actively denied funding it?  The answer, according to reporter David Zweig, is the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Here's an excerpt from Zweig's story at The Free Press:

During his decades as head of NIAID, Fauci oversaw the distribution of billions of dollars each year in research grants and contracts, some of which were awarded explicitly for what is commonly referred to as “gain-of-function research of concern.” This research involves manipulating viruses to become more transmissible and/or deadly in humans, with the hope that doing so might help advance development of vaccines and therapeutics against threats that don’t exist but theoretically might in the future.

As I previously reported in The Free Press, it is an intensely controversialpractice, with many scientists vehemently opposed to it. Kevin M. Esvelt, an evolutionary and ecological engineer at MIT, wrote in a 2021 opinion piece: “I implore every scientist, funder, and nation working in this field: Please stop.” Purposefully creating a pathogen that could wipe out millions of people—regardless of its hoped-for benefit—is “insanity,” global security and biodefense expert Dr. Laura Kahn told me.

Fauci has long been a vocal advocate for this type of research. And, despite pleas for it to stop, for at least a decade this dangerous research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and NIAID. This connection was affirmed by Fauci, and is documented in published papers: NIH and NIAID are listed as financiers of the project in the acknowledgements of the most infamous gain-of-function study in history.

And I have documented that at least several NIH/NIAID-funded studies were involved in potentially creating more deadly coronaviruses.

There is no ambiguity: the NIH and NIAID have funded and supported this work. Yet Fauci, and his then-boss Collins, during the Covid years, repeatedly obscured and even outright denied their involvement.

Adolescents in the U.S. are Severely Distressed, Increasingly Suicidal.

Adolescents in the U.S. are severely distressed, increasingly suicidal. Zach Rausch and Jonathan Haidt weigh in on causation: "The sudden switch from play-based childhood to phone-based childhood is—we believe—the leading candidate for being the major cause of the international collapse of adolescent mental health.8 The evidence of causation is particularly strong for girls. In fact, nobody has yet put forth an alternative theory—one that can explain why the same thing happened at the same time in so many countries. Jean Twenge recently considered thirteen such theories that have been proposed to explain trends in the U.S., and she showed that they don’t even work in the U.S., let alone internationally."
