While the media and medical establishment scramble to cover for each other, the truth keeps leaking out, and as you can imagine, it’s not pretty. This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) took to X to slam RFK Jr. for saying what a lot of us already knew: pediatricians made money, real, big money, off the COVID vaccine push, especially on kids.

The AAP tried to shut the conversation down fast:

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors’ motivations puts children’s health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations.https://t.co/BmRlh6wx1G

But here’s the thing: they’re lying. And the internet brought the receipts.

However, before we get to that, we’d be remiss not to point out how the New York Times jumped at the chance to once again run cover for Big Pharma and the crooked medical community.

To help their buddies at the AAP, they ran a sympathetic sob story from a small-town doctor who claimed she couldn’t afford to offer vaccines. Here’s the exact excerpt they used to push the narrative that vaccinating kids was a financial burden, not a profit center.

The New York Times:

Dr. Stacey Bartell wanted to offer vaccines to her patients. But at her small family medicine practice in a Detroit suburb, she could not find a way to make the finances work.

Stocking enough vaccines for her patients would cost thousands of dollars upfront, with no guarantee the sum would be recouped. She employed just one nurse practitioner, and would have to hire additional staff to manage the inventory and stay on top of insurance billing. And the special refrigerators required to store vaccines would cost another $1,000.

She knew how much vaccines mattered to her patients’ health. But it was money her practice, which was already operating on thin margins, couldn’t afford to spend.

"We just haven’t been able to shore it up here,” Dr. Bartell said. Instead she has to send her patients to pharmacies and the county health department for their shots — a concession that "hurts my heart,” she said.

So a few weeks ago, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, claimed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that vaccine profits created "perverse incentives” for pediatricians to push immunizations, Dr. Bartell was confused.

They also double down by citing a 2017 study and quoting another doctor claiming that pediatricians don’t make money from shots; they just "overcome obstacles” to provide them. It’s all very emotional and neatly packaged for absolute damage control. The NYT piece goes on:

Doctors widely consider vaccines to be a money pit. Research shows that most pediatricians either break even or lose money on shots. One 2017 study found that nearly a quarter of family medicine providers and 12 percent of pediatricians stopped purchasing vaccines because of prohibitive costs.
To many experts, suggesting otherwise not only ignored that data, but also sent a dangerous message: that patients should doubt their doctor’s motives in recommending vaccines.

"This idea that we vaccinate kids to make money honestly is misleading and dangerous,” said Dr. David Higgins, a pediatrician and preventive medicine expert at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

"We actually overcome obstacles to be able to provide them,” he added.

But now, let’s bring in actual evidence, not emotional manipulation, into the mix.

The image you see below is a flyer from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid. This image lays out the exact dollar amounts medical experts could earn for pushing COVID vaccines on patients. The more patients vaccinated, the higher the payout, actually up to $250 per "newly vaccinated” member.

We’re talking:

$70 per patient at 50% vax rate
$175 per patient at 50% vax rate (final incentive tier)
And up to $250 per newly vaccinated patient at 75% compliance

This wasn’t about breaking even. This was a performance-based bonus system tied directly to how many jabs a doctor could inflict—and yes, that included kids
