CMS just took a shot at vaccine incentive systems. Dr. Thomas and I exposed the perverse and misaligned incentives in 2021. Now HHS has acted to end backing the practice with federal dollars.
This is a false statement about what this CMS letter really means. Sorry MAHA propaganda guys, you will have to do better. CMS does not pay bonuses for vaccines, state Medicaid does. The CMS letter simply removes mandatory reporting on immunization status to the feds. However, CMS letter states that they will come up with other metrics to track "vaccination choices, and religious preferences". That's just great! So that they can design better ways to overcome "vaccine hesitancy" and track all the dissenters for declaring them terrorists in future faked pandemics. I will publish a detailed article soon on who pays what types of vaccine bonuses. I promise, it's horrifying and insane and this letter doesn't do much.
It's everyone's "right" to say anything. That is not the issue at all. How do you know what the article is about when it hasn't even been written yet? Bias much?
I didn't comment on any future article but on the self-serving announcement to read it after dissing this author in order to encourage it. Reading is fundamental as is comprehension. Try it.
I am pointing out that this article has a false headline. CMS did not do anything about vaccine bonuses. I am not asking anyone to read my articles, in fact I expressly forbid you to do so. Thanks.
I believe we all want the best outcome, happy healthy people. Great that you provide professional assessments. No need to be combative and argumentative.
Sasha, I hope your article explains the free ride that state- and county-level (local) vaccine mandate enforcement have enjoyed via federated mandatory reporting. Clearly, I did not spell this out in sufficient detail if my article leaves anyone thinking this shift is not tectonic. Either way, I look forward to your analysis.
I will look forward to reading the future article by Sasha Latypova detailing who pays for the different "types of vaccine bonuses." A much needed investigation.
Why did it take them so long? Don't tell me they didn't know that incentives drive motives? Surely they knew that. They're only saying it now because our faith in them is at rock bottom. That's why they're saying this now. And they want to keep you in their clutches believing in such nonsenses as "public health". This belief goes against body autonomy. Are you forgiving them for making such monumental errors? Can you ever trust anything they say ever again? We simply don't need them, they are obstacles to our health. Health is a personal matter, what we need is information. But look what the institutes are like with information.
Does this in any way prevent, change or reduce how states inflate and milk (lie, cheat and steal) to get increasesd subsidies from the Federal government for Medicaid?
So when will these agencies stop pussy footing around? They soft pedal everything and accomplish nothing. ACIP should have strongly demanded a dead stop to all Hep B vaccinations to newborns of mothers who are HEP B negative. No choice. END IT. And CMS should demand states stop incentivizing doctors to give vaccines to children. If a product is good doctors should not be given incentives to administer it or punishment for using common sense and standing by their oath to do no harm. Most doctors do not know the first thing about vaccines, ingredients or the severe side effects. All they know is the money they get by adhering to the schedule. THIS NEEDS TO END. It should not be a recommendation from CMS. They should demand the incentives be stopped and use ways to penalize states that do not end the practice of bribes.
Sorry but the statement..."it “strongly discourages” states from using immunization measures in payment arrangements"...means NOTHING. That only means that maybe a few "ethical" practitioners might change their ways. I seriously doubt it. It is like trusting the doctor to report medical issues with vaccine uptake (VAERS)...mostly voluntary and highly ineffective.
What really needs to occur is that ALL dollar incentives are now illegal. Doctors should not be paid bonuses for the number of people they inject with vaccines. The HHS has failed again as is has changed some "wording", while allowing the practice to continue with NO punishments. Grade D-.
The paper you and Thomas put out on vaccine reimbursement in IJVTPR is not surprisingly, given your track record, wrong. Wrong because when J.B Handley interviewed Thomas in 2017 for Handley's book "How to End the Autism Epidemic", Thomas stated at 56:30 into the interview:
Thomas: "Just doing the selective vaccines that I do on the Vaccine-Friendly Plan in the last 8 years I've lost over a million dollars just in vaccine profits."
Everyone can listen to the interview at: https://substack.com/@jbhandley/p-110552026 . Straight from Thomas' mouth--and Thomas would know because he owned and ran his practice and had to sign the checks and keep it in the black.
Thomas lost a million dollars over eight years, NOT a million dollars in a year. Quite the overstatement by you and Thomas in your paper, eh? FYI, losing $125,000 a year not doing vaccines is easily recouped by the added visits a pediatrician can do not having to spend 5-10 minutes each well visit counseling families on vaccines.
And nice clickbait for your substack premise. If incentives for vaccines are so high and important, why are pediatricians the LOWEST paid of all physicians (https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/how-much-do-doctors-make/)? How lucrative can vaccines be when my PCP punts me to the pharmacy for the vaccines I need? Most adult physicians do few to none vaccines because it's not worth the return on time.
I sent this article to a friend and this is what he wrote back: "This is good but needs to be accepted & passed by Congress." My question is, does what you're doing have to be accepted and passed by Congress? Thank you.
I'm a pediatrician in Texas and I have to laugh every time I see one of these posts.
I have a challenge for all the anti-vaxers on this site.
If you can give me the phone number of the direct contact at the insurance companies that gives vaccine bonuses for Texas, put it here and I will pay you $10,000. I'm not talking about the generic insurance company phone numbers, I've already tried those many times and they dont know what I'm talking about. I want a SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER AND A NAME of the insurance company contact that gives out vaccine bonuses for BCBS, Cigna, United.
I've been trying to get these so-called "vaccine bonuses" for years without any success.
So that's my challenge to you. I will keep checking this thread and I'm confident nobody can do this.
I am heartened by the announcement and thank you for laying it out. As Sasha points out below, even though the feds pay for the vast majority of Medicaid, they don't always set the policy that governs the care they pay for. Messaging does matter, and this absolutely helps. It will lead to demonstrably better policy in the red states without Trump derangement. The blue states will now double down just as a way to poke CMS, as a proxy for Trump/RFKJ, in the eye. But they should still have done it and I celebrate it with you!
Compensation/payment should be based upon services rendered. The concept of quality from third parties is subjective and designed to direct behavior. Fraught with problems.
Office visit fee for informed consent , then fee for medication (vaccine) and dispensing.
How to deal with corporate “sales” and vaccine consent and delivery at the Pharmacy level?
This, ultimately, could wake people up to the fact that they can think, and feel, into what they want for their life. Maybe they can realise how fear motivates their lives which they have not acknowledged until now, and those fears actually drive the 'culture of distraction' which we live in. We may then see that looking at and letting go of those fears makes 'distractions' rather pointless, and in fact gets in the way of the richness of moment-to-moment life. ...or what Sasha Latypova says in the previous comment may be true. It's up to us.
This is great news. I wish they would include a clearly enumerated non-incentive for health care worker vaccinations. CMS benefits are constantly used as an excuse to mandate worker vaccinations.

Well the post didn't say CMS pays bonuses.
It's not the tectonic shift then, as the clickbait headline claims, is it?
The writer views it as such and that is his right. Seems your announcement of publishing a detailed article soon is about self serving click bait.

did you understand what you wrote here?
I am pointing out that this article has a false headline. CMS did not do anything about vaccine bonuses. I am not asking anyone to read my articles, in fact I expressly forbid you to do so. Thanks.
Add me to the list, please. I am sure that list will be quite long. By the way, who appointed you God?
I believe we all want the best outcome, happy healthy people. Great that you provide professional assessments. No need to be combative and argumentative.
lol, try harder.
Your ability and willingness to translate and share your hard won knowledge is wonderful Sasha !
Thank you !
🙏
Happy New Year!
Big Pharma with Big Money will finally EXPLODE! Self-poisoning will occur.
The a Happy New Year it is 😂
Standing by and anxiously awaiting your analysis, as always! Happy New Year to you Ms. Sasha!

In my opinion is does nothing. Just a bunch of worthless fluff.

What is MAHA
This is great news. I wish they would include a clearly enumerated non-incentive for health care worker vaccinations. CMS benefits are constantly used as an excuse to mandate worker vaccinations.

For Big Pharma
Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies also pay bonuses.
