Editor Victoria’s Comment ~ I originally saw the above image on social media and wanted verification as to the numbers – as did the person posting. She was able to verify – and I was too. Not surprising as it is public knowledge doctors receive “incentives” ($$) from big pharma and insurance companies for complying w/their agenda…. but still horrifying.
I went more into research. I wanted to know the average number of patients a pediatrician sees per year – especially in the 2 and under category.
Using this link (for the year 1999), I was able to get an estimate (average) as to how many “2 and under” patients the average pediatrician sees. The average pediatrician sees (in 1999) 1546 children. More than half are age 6 and under. So conservatively saying 850 are 6 and under. Using that number, I divide 850 by 3 thus arriving at the number of 283. Say if half of that 283 are fully vaccinated and in compliance w/the combo 10 criteria as referenced below (another conservative number), that means that doctor is receiving $56,400 PER YEAR (141 – the number of fully vaccinated 2 year olds per practice multiplied by $400). Speaks volumes, doesn’t it?
Here is the link for the 2016 Blue Cross Blue Shield Provider Incentive Program (which is where the above graph was taken): http://www.whale.to/c/2016-BCN-BCBSM-Incentive-Program-Booklet.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2WqLMJKQaAmvgXqIOaAX5970i4f7aba52Nm__0yMVlHcG4HXcK8TSIQjc
One final tidbit: A piece published in 2016 by Wellness and Equality had this to say: “Update 4/30/2017: After Wellness & Equality published this article, Blue Cross Blue Shield locked online access to their incentive program and then removed the page altogether. Clearly this incentive program was never intended to be public knowledge and created a bit of PR issue for them. Fortunately, another website managed to save the entire BCBS incentive program booklet and has published it in entirety online… You can read it here: Blue Cross Blue Shield Physician Incentive Program”
“For the record and for those of you who haven’t been around as long as I have, here goes…
“For my entire career as a physician, I have attempted to educate my patients and my community about issues that were not mainstream at all at the time. Examples: routine circumcision, over diagnosis of DCIS from mammograms, the need for DHA fats for brain health in infants that is in breast milk and was not in baby formula until the last few decades, the need to supplement with folic acid in pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects, the fact that HPV is cleared naturally by the body 90% of the time, the role of optimal levels of vitamin D, and the fact that hormones not native to the female body (like Provera) have untoward effects that can be dangerous and that there are far safer alternatives for menopausal relief.
“None of these views was popular or well accepted at the time. One radiologist spit at me on stage and told me how dangerous I was when I suggested years ago that mammograms were overdiagnosing so-called cancer and resulting in too much unnecessary and dangerous treatment. Over time my views on these things have become far more accepted by the mainstream as public opinion and increasing numbers of studies have shifted beliefs.
“My position on vaccines hasn’t changed in 40 years. I advocate optimal immunity and all the ways we can improve it, not by ever increasing numbers of vaccines (now up to 72 by age 18 according to the CDCschedule). Congress excused vaccine manufacturers from all liability back in 1986. No other industry has ever had this unquestioned support to do whatever they want without adequate testing or oversight. The CDC recommended number of vaccines has tripled since then. And the CDC is paid millions by vaccine manufacturers to promote them. It is NOT an unbiased organization at all. Most people don’t know this. And since then, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) (VAERS) has paid out over $4 billion dollars to families of vaccine-injured children. This organization reports that only about 1 % of vaccine injuries are EVER reported. Why are we so quick to dismiss the suffering of those who have been harmed by vaccines? And vilify those of us who question their safety … especially at the current rate?
“Read the package inserts on vaccine ingredients and the potential adverse effects. It is all right there in plain sight. And none have ever been studied in combination or cumulatively. Yet infants are being given 5-11 at one time! My home state of Maine, like so many others, is about to hear a bill making many vaccines mandatory for school, day care, etc. Yet there hasn’t been a single case of measles reported here (except one Canadian visitor) in 17 years.This narrative—that we’re all about to die from a major epidemic—is being drive by fear and also huge amounts of money being paid to push the Pharma agenda. And for the record, China 🇨🇳 has a 99% vaccination rate. Yet they, like the United States 🇺🇸, have pockets of measles outbreaks. 26,000 cases reported in one study.
“Why? Because no vaccine is 100% effective. Lifetime immunity from getting a disease is entirely different. You are protected for life. When it comes to measles, mumps, etc, evidence shows that vaccines don’t give you lifetime immunity. I believe this is connected to the fact that more than 50% of children in the US now have a chronic disease. All these vaccines have messed up our natural immunity. And studies have verified…
“Back in the late 80s and early 90s, women were banned from some doctors’ practices if they refused to take conventional hormone replacement. The belief that hormones were the key to heart disease prevention was so strong that doctors pushed it on everyone. (And the Pharma position was huge then too). If you questioned the narrative, you were shamed. The huge women’s health initiative changed all that, however, when a well designed study FINALLY showed that when Premarin and Provera were used for hormone replacement, the risks outweighed the benefits. We need these same kinds of studies with individual vaccines. They are not likely to be done given the current political and medical climate. But simply pointing this truth out is now increasingly being censored.” ~Dr. Christiane Northrup, MD
GOOD NEWS out of Arizona! If my state continues w/their draconian, freedom-destroying bullshit regarding vaccines, we will be singing “Arizona here we come!” spread the lovin’ hoo-ha out of this one please!
The House Health and Human Services Committee approved three contentious vaccine-related House Bills. Each of the bills loosens government authority over parental immunization matters. Critics believe the measures may lower vaccination density in the state. Republicans and Democrats split the vote, with Republicans mostly siding with approval.
The first measure of importance, House Bill 2470, allows parents to opt their children out of vaccines without having to sign a state health department form. Committee chairwoman Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, who supports and sponsors all three bills, says this measure is about protecting parents from government coercion.
“When a parent only has a government statement that they have to sign in order to qualify for an exemption that they don’t agree with, that is coercion. This allows them to either sign that or make their own statement,” said committee chairwoman Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, who sponsored all three bills. “We are talking about a policy decision now for parents and we should attribute the best expectations on parents, not the worst.”
The second measure, House Bill 2472, applies directly to doctors. According to the bill, doctors will need to offer parents an “antibody titer” blood test for their children. The blood test is used to determine if the child needs the vaccine.
The third bill, House Bill 2471, is an informed consent bill that gives parents information regarding vaccine ingredients. Additionally, it explains the vaccine court process, in the event, a vaccine injury occurs.
