Paid Off?: Does Your Pediatrician Have Your Child’s Best Interest at Heart?

How To Choose a Pediatrician That is Right For You & Your Child. Happy baby
Doctor examining baby on Picspree

In choosing a pediatrician, it is invaluable to learn whether or not your pediatrician has your child’s best interest at heart. In the spirit of exposing questionable practices, this should be mandatory reading for parents.

[PS this post is a reprint from my “Vital Vaccine Info” ebook, linked below.]

Not all, but most, pediatricians have begun refusing to accept families who opt out of some or all vaccines.

“When my friend’s child suffered a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine a week after her first birthday, my friend assumed her pediatrician would write her a medical exemption from future vaccines. Shortly after receiving a routine set of vaccines, the happy, vibrant one-year-old spiked a 106 degree fever, began having seizures, and was hospitalized. When the unexplained “illness” passed after a week in the hospital, the little girl had lost her ability to walk.

“My friend describes how her daughter, who had learned to walk several months earlier at 9 months, suddenly “stumbled around like a drunk person” for weeks following the vaccines.

“My friend met with a team of pediatricians, neurologists, and naturopathic doctors, and they agreed: Her daughter had suffered a brain injury caused by a reaction to one of the vaccines. Hoping the injury would be temporary and that she might recover and ease her brain inflammation if they could help her small body quickly eliminate the vaccine additives that caused the reaction, my friend’s daughter underwent an intensive detoxification program overseen by a nutritionist.

“Slowly, her daughter relearned to walk.

“My friend is a practicing attorney who graduated from a Top 10 college. The evidence was overwhelming that her daughter’s reaction had been caused by vaccines, she told me. But a few months later, when she took her daughter back into the pediatrician for a visit, he wanted to vaccinate her daughter again.”

She was baffled.

Why?

Vaccine E-Book

A reader sent a link to a PDF file of Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Physician Incentive Program to Wellness and Equality News, disclosing that insurance companies PAY pediatricians MASSIVE BONUSES based on the percentage of children who are fully vaccinated by age 2. (see pgs. 4 and 15)

So how much money do doctors really make from vaccines?

As the table (below) explains, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays pediatricians $400 per fully-vaccinated child.

If your pediatrician has just 100 fully-vaccinated patients turning 2 this year, that’s $40,000.

Yes, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2. (source, pg. 15)

And if your doctor has a very large practice and manages to fully vaccinate 200 patients, that bonus jumps to $80,000.

The average American pediatrician has 1546 patients, though some pediatricians see many more. (source)

bcbs health
(source – see page 15)

Here’s the thing ($$$) your pediatrician will not tell you:

Under Blue Cross Blue Shield’s rules, pediatricians lose the whole bonus unless at least 63% of patients are fully vaccinated, and that includes the flu vaccine. So it’s not just $400 on your child’s head – it could be the whole bonus.

In other words, to your doctor, your decision to vaccinate your child might be worth $40,000, or much more, depending on the size of the practice.

If your pediatrician recommends that your child under the age of 2 receive the flu vaccine–even though the flu vaccine has never been studied in very young children and evidence suggests that the flu vaccine actually weakens a person’s immune system over the long term (source) – ask yourself:

“Is my doctor more concerned with selling me vaccines to keep my child healthy or to send his child to private school?”

Where Did the Evidence Go?

After Wellness & Equality published their 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 a PR issue for them.

Fortunately, another website managed to save the entire BCBS incentive program booklet and has published it in entirety online…PDF here.

“They are paying off parents too! We have Anthem insurance and they offer to pay us for vaccinations. For each set of vaccines your child receives, you can send in a certificate and they send you a Visa gift card as a reward. The two they pay the most for are the flu and HPV vaccine. It’s crazy! If I’m remember correctly, the last letter we received in the mail from Anthem said the “reward” for the HPV vaccine was a $50 gift card.” ~reader S.G.C.

Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

    As of today after my son’s 9-month check-up, our pediatrician dropped us from care when I told him that we no longer wanted to continue vaccinations. I’ve been a little shaken up by that response, but having read this article prior to this occurring, I’m not surprised.

    I would like to know how I can go about detoxing my son from the vaccines that he has received, and if possible, get him on a natural immune boosting regimen, particularly now that we have no doctor.

    Are any primary care doctors rewarded for getting their adult and especially, senior, patients to get vaccines for flu, shingles, or pneumonia?

      Hi, Abbie! I do not know if there is any advantage or financial gain for them, but I do know drug reps do give perks for so pushing their products.
      I have heard it openly discussed at parties we attended many years ago when I worked in the Open Heart surgical suites. I heard reps would bring donuts, bagels, and other delicacies into the office in the morning or catered sandwiches and salads at lunch! I am sure there were other perks!

    My son is in his 3rd year at a private Christian school, and we are two months into the school year (7th grade) and today I receive an email regarding immunizations not being updated and if not received within the next week, he “may” not be allowed to return. I submitted the records from his doctor when he started at the school in 5th grade and was sort of surprised nothing was mentioned about one shot I knew we’d missed ( the 2nd Hep A) because I refused it for years as I’d started being skeptical of the whole vax program. And I notice there is a big push in 7th grade for additional shots so was holding my breath at the start of this year, but until today it wasn’t questioned. Not to mention there is a new staff member within the last year that makes it her mission to delve into such things and I suspect it’s her nosing through the files. Trying to gather my wits before addressing with them and debating on if it is better to try the religious or medical exemption. Your thoughts on the two? My son adores going to this school and would be devastated if I pull him out. My husband suggests I just pull him out, but I will not without giving it a fight, but I want to handle it the appropriate way. Would like recommendation on religious or medical exemption. It seems the medical exemption needs a doctor signature, which I feel is an automatic way to get denied. Personally, I object medically and religiously. After studying this for last several years, I believe the high-pitch screaming my son did for a couple of years the majority of EVERY day and night may have very well been a result of the shots. He has eczema and peanut butter allergy as well, which I also suspect may be a result of the vaccines. My oldest son (now 30) also developed asthma along the kindergarten/1st grade age and I now am suspicious of that as well with the timing. Our pediatrician has been more and more aggressive in the least couple of years and the last peek I took at their website let me know if we ever go back we will probably not be allowed back. Most likely won’t even bother going back there for that reason. Today this was the email: We noticed your student’s file does not have an up-to-date shot record. All 7th graders need a booster. Please ensure your child has the attached immunizations and our office has a record of them by Friday, October 13th. If your child’s record is not submitted by then, they may not be eligible to return after our fall break.

      Sonya, reading your words makes me so sad as this is only going to get worse across the board. Wokism, big government politics and ‘for the greater good’ ideology is driving it, but also behind the scenes financial coercion.
      I would probably lean towards the religious exemption and I would point you to The Healthy American website: https://www.thehealthyamerican.org/fact-sheet-for-religious-exemptions
      They may be more factually able to answer whether the medical or religious is more durable a protection in this case for your son.
      I would let your son in on the situation and inform him, so hopefully, he will see it as a long-term protection for him, and so he understands this is not you doing this to him, but an agenda that is comprised of many people for many reasons of greed and power and self-interest.. He may be more likely to embrace your decision to get him out of there if it comes to that. I would urge you to consider home-educating him alongside other children’s families you might know who are on the same page as you and are like-minded in their faith and parenting model, if possible. Many have set up small co-ops to share teaching responsibilities which make it a community that’s enjoyable and broad for each child. Homeschooling our 3 adult children (who now are skilled at critical thinking) was the best thing we have done as a family, and they (all 3 families) are already in the earliest years of homeschooling.
      I am praying for you and your son,
      Sending peace,
      Jacque
