Health insurers and organizations literally bribe pediatricians to give your baby 25 vaccine doses before 3 years of age.
For example, pediatricians in the 3-million-person Health Net network receive a $2,500 bonus for each baby receiving 25 vaccine doses by 2.5 years of age.
A paralegal at my firm quickly found 27 additional examples of insurers and providers from across the country offering such bribes. See list below.
It is amazing that even pediatricians need to be bribed to inject these products.
How do you think this affects how pediatricians treat parents during “well-check” visits?

UPDATE: A typical rebuttal of the claim that health insurers are bribing doctors to vax as many children as possible is that insurers are acting in the children’s best interest; and this is solidly proved because mass vaxxing is also in the insurers best interest. The claim is that by vaccinating as many children as they can, insurers are keeping them healthy while also saving money themselves as insurers will be required to pay fewer claims for healthier children. This rebuttal is completely false and based on a misunderstanding of how insurance works. Insurers make more money the sicker their customers are. Here’s why that is so. Under Obamacare, insurers are given 20% of covered medical expenses to manage their part of the system. In any one year, insurers do try to minimize their payouts. And this is where the misunderstanding or deliberate fraud in the rebuttal lies. In any one year, insurers always minimize payouts on established policies. But over more than one year, insurers always make more money the more medical costs go up. Under Obamacare 20% of $100 dollars of medical expenses is $20. If costs go up 10x, 20% of $1,000 is $200. The amount of work for insurers to manage those costs is the same. So, it is always in insurers’ best interests for medical costs go up over the years and not down. ABN
