The CDC’s Childhood Immunization Schedule is a rotten system rife with perverse incentives.
– Pediatrician’s get ‘bonuses’ from Insurance Companies if a high enough percentage of their practice receives vaccinations. According to Dr. Peter McCullough, pediatricians get paid to in a sense “hyper-vaccinate” their populations; if they meet certain ‘quotas,’ they can receive 6-figure bonuses.
– The Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System (VAERS) is voluntary … it is time consuming and there is no incentive for a doctor to report nor any penalty for not doing so. Pediatricians actually have an emotional incentive NOT to blame vaccines for adverse effects: they recommended them! As a result, VAERS is an unreliable data source for vaccine injury.
– The CDC sets the childhood immunization schedule based on recommendations from ACIP, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. ACIP has essentially been a rubber stamp for Big Pharma – they approved any vaccine that was submitted. 90% of ACIP members had undisclosed conflicts of interest (consulting contracts and other paid arrangements) with the industry they were supposed to regulate. RFK Jr. fired the entire group, stating “ACIP’s new members will prioritize public health and evidence-based medicine; the Committee will no longer function as a rubber stamp for industry profit-making agendas.”
– Lawmakers get paid to look the other way. Pharma is the largest – and the most generous – lobbying group in Washington.
– Pharmaceutical Companies have NO liability for vaccine injury or death due to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of1986. As a result, they just keep developing vaccines and submitting them to ACIP for approval. Each Vaccine added to the Childhood Vaccine Schedule provides a $1 Billion annuity (that’s annual revenue) to the Pharma Company that develops and produces it.
