- Many doctors are pushing vaccines on their patients for what amounts to a bribe from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase the practice's vaccination rates. The CDC's AFIX program encourages "friendly competition" among staff to see who can increase vaccination rates the most, and prizes include such things as "scholarships" to training and professional meetings, plaques and public recognition, and opportunities to partner with pharmaceutical companies for additional funding sources.
- Fear is the hidden side of these competition- and financially-driven incentives the CDC is using to promote high vaccination rates. While "good" doctors are rewarded for selling more vaccines, doctors who fail to comply risk being reprimanded or fired by their employers, and could also be reported and get into trouble with the medical board for being "bad" doctors if they don't aggressively sell vaccines to all patients.
- If drugs and vaccines worked as advertised, the US population would be the healthiest of any nation on this planet. However, a new health report prepared for members and committees of Congress on infant mortality in the United States—which spends more money on health care than any other country in the world—places the U.S. at 31st in a list where countries such as Slovenia, Czech Republic and Korea rank far higher.
