While the media and medical establishment scramble to cover for each other, the truth keeps leaking out, and as you can imagine, it’s not pretty. This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) took to X to slam RFK Jr. for saying what a lot of us already knew: pediatricians made money, real, big money, off the COVID vaccine push, especially on kids.
The AAP tried to shut the conversation down fast:
...
But here’s the thing: they’re lying. And the internet brought the receipts.
However, before we get to that, we’d be remiss not to point out how the New York Times jumped at the chance to once again run cover for Big Pharma and the crooked medical community.
...
To help their buddies at the AAP, they ran a sympathetic sob story from a small-town doctor who claimed she couldn’t afford to offer vaccines. Here’s the exact excerpt they used to push the narrative that vaccinating kids was a financial burden, not a profit center.
...
The New York Times:
Dr. Stacey Bartell wanted to offer vaccines to her patients. But at her small family medicine practice in a Detroit suburb, she could not find a way to make the finances work.
Stocking enough vaccines for her patients would cost thousands of dollars upfront, with no guarantee the sum would be recouped. She employed just one nurse practitioner, and would have to hire additional staff to manage the inventory and stay on top of insurance billing. And the special refrigerators required to store vaccines would cost another $1,000.
She knew how much vaccines mattered to her patients’ health. But it was money her practice, which was already operating on thin margins, couldn’t afford to spend.
“We just haven’t been able to shore it up here,” Dr. Bartell said. Instead she has to send her patients to pharmacies and the county health department for their shots — a concession that “hurts my heart,” she said.
So a few weeks ago, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, claimed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that vaccine profits created “perverse incentives” for pediatricians to push immunizations, Dr. Bartell was confused.
They also double down by citing a 2017 study and quoting another doctor claiming that pediatricians don’t make money from shots; they just “overcome obstacles” to provide them. It’s all very emotional and neatly packaged for absolute damage control. The NYT piece goes on:
Doctors widely consider vaccines to be a money pit. Research shows that most pediatricians either break even or lose money on shots. One 2017 study found that nearly a quarter of family medicine providers and 12 percent of pediatricians stopped purchasing vaccines because of prohibitive costs.
To many experts, suggesting otherwise not only ignored that data, but also sent a dangerous message: that patients should doubt their doctor’s motives in recommending vaccines.
“This idea that we vaccinate kids to make money honestly is misleading and dangerous,” said Dr. David Higgins, a pediatrician and preventive medicine expert at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
“We actually overcome obstacles to be able to provide them,” he added.
But now, let’s bring in actual evidence, not emotional manipulation, into the mix.
...
The image you see below is a flyer from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid. This image lays out the exact dollar amounts medical experts could earn for pushing COVID vaccines on patients. The more patients vaccinated, the higher the payout, actually up to $250 per “newly vaccinated” member.
We’re talking:
$70 per patient at 50% vax rate.
$175 per patient at 50% vax rate (final incentive tier).
And up to $250 per newly vaccinated patient at 75% compliance
...
This wasn’t about breaking even. This was a performance-based bonus system tied directly to how many jabs a doctor could inflict—and yes, that included kids.
Doctor Mary Talley Bowden had this to say about how much money she could’ve made off the COVID jab.
...
If I had vaccinated the 6000 patients I treated for Covid, I would have made $1.5 million under BlueCross’ incentive program.
...
Dr. Mary could’ve been a millionaire just from the jab. Does that sound like “surviving” on the struggle bus to you?
To be fair, perhaps some pediatricians didn’t cash in. But plenty did. And whether the cash came directly from the feds or flowed through Medicaid, insurance plans, or private networks, the result was the same: doctors got paid to push vaccines, and that fact destroys the narrative the AAP is so desperately clinging to.
...
What the AAP is doing here isn’t just dishonest; it’s dangerous. Gaslighting parents and pretending there were no financial motives erodes trust even further, as if that were even possible. If they’re lying about this, what else are they covering up?

The result of the push by the FED since at least Jimmy Carter became President to monetize every damn thing you can so that you can tax it, inflate it, charge interest on it, and make money for insiders at the expense of the general economy. The new hidden hand to replace free market economics and push grift into elite pockets.
No one tells the truth anymore. They just believe memes
How long until the $$$,$$$,$$$ given to hospitals to treat ‘Covid patients’ is exposed?
How long until the PCR test machines (owned by Bill Gates) are exposed for the facts that they are a FLU tester, they CANNOT detect Covid and they were consistently raising the recommended settings for better (more) positives when the number of Covid cases dropped?
This continues today - the health clinic my wife nurses has to test for flu and Covid anytime someone walks in with flu symptoms. Amazing that they test positive for Flu, but not Covid - until you set the machine for Covid, then it’s positive for both. Everyone knows it, but they’re paid by the number of ‘Covid patients’ they treat and report to the county.
Covid: The scam that keeps on paying.

Even supplying vaccines gratis, the doctors still make money off the office visits, and oh, how many of them and how much money for the vaccines they don’t get gratis. Like good business to entice customers back for more, “the first one’s on us.”
Physicians of all persuasions make a ton of money prescribing medications at
the expense of their patient's physical health and insurance.
Such practice is defiling the hippocratic oath should be illegal.
I guess things have changed. Twenty years ago the medical director of a facility at which I was DON told me they didn’t like to see Medicaid kids because the State only paid them $6 a visit. He was an honest man and I don’t doubt his word. Of course, it’s Oklahoma, so they probably kept payments as low as possible. OT -— I had a senior home health patient about 15 years ago, who was dirt poor, and literally lived in a hovel. Her food stamp monthly allowance was $17 A month. I’m pretty sure that’s a lot more now.
As Dr. House says, “Everybody lies.”
They might not “make money” from the serum but the “office visit” = Ca-ching!
“”And the internet brought the receipts - However, before we get to that””
AND the article never did get to THAT. It came up with a printed plan for bonuses. Can’t someone come up with a better term that makes more sense than “RECEIPT” if they’re presenting evidence of something? A receipt is something you get when you buy and pay for something and walk away with the merchandise. We all know that but the press latches onto a word and changes it to something else.
I have no idea WHERE this came from but I wish they’d knock it off. Words that have meant one thing and one thing only forever NOW can be used for anything someone sets their mind to. Can’t we get back to NORMAL???
As Dr. House says, “Everybody lies.””
I remember him but I wouldn’t have been able to tell you WHO said it.. Very good!! I think he would be right!
The AAP takes money from Bill Gates among others. What is he getting for his money?
AAP lies and should figure out what trauma lead them to be such lying perverted fake professionals. It really is an illness.
Consider suicide, again.
