Aside from being unethical, I believe it is illegal for physicians in the US to received bonuses or any incentives from pharmaceutical companies. 

 

I imagine pediatricians just follow government guidelines, as they should. Why would they not?

 

But the same people howling for everyone to trust their doctor now, were howling that you could not trust your doctor during covid. uh

You are almost right.  Pediatricians generally do not receive bonuses or any incentives from pharmaceutical companies.    

But they receive from the insurance companies.  

> None of the posts in this thread contest that FACT.  

And contrary to the claims by some on this thread that it are 'only small amounts', they receive large amounts of money when meeting the child-vaccination quota set by those insurers.  

RFK jr is 100% correct calling such practices perverse.

That doctors are paid to see patients is no secret.

True, but what most parents don't know is that pediatricians in the US are receiving huge bonuses when they meet the insurance quota of the child-'patients' they jab.  As a result, healthy children hardly at risk for any of the diseases that those shots claim to prevent, are often routinely jabbed.  Removing such unethical financial incentives for pediatricians would ensure that the financial motive would not bias their advice.  

The concern about financial incentives in healthcare is legitimate in principle, but in this specific case, the characterization by our prize misinformation guru @Red Phoenix misrepresents how vaccination compensation actually works and ignores the robust scientific foundation for current vaccination recommendations.

Watched a clip explaining the setup from a practising doctor, furious they are being accused of this.....not allowed to post it....even though the anti-vaxxers can post anything from any source, which is weird?????

 

He went through his costings in detail to show in most cases he broke even and he was actually out of pocket giving some vaccinations.

The actual vaccination possibly isn't but suppliers look favourably on the doctors that use their vaccine. Make of that what you will.

Smallpox I refused in 1968, mumps and measles I had before the vaccine was released in the UK. But by age 12 I had realised I didn't want vaccines and started refusing.

 

Clearly they weren't needed, as I didn't catch anything in the next 58 years of wandering around the world.

I tried to fight off the smallpox vax but I was only 6 years old, so I bore the scar on my shoulder for years.

 

I think the most important vaccine these days is flu and tetanus. Im too old for dengue vaccine.

 

I got the Shingrex vaccine AFTER I suffered with shingles. Not going through that again.
