“We’re scanning every corner of the health care system for hidden incentives that corrupt medical judgment. What we’re finding is alarming. Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They’re pressured to follow the money, not the science.
We’ve recently uncovered that more than 36,000 doctors had their Medicare reimbursements altered based upon childhood vaccination rates. That’s not medicine. That’s coercion. It’s immoral. It has no place in a constitutional democracy or in a system that claims to protect children.
Medical decisions should be made based upon one thing and one thing only. The well being of the patient. Never on a financial bonus or a government mandate. Patients deserve honest, uncorrupted advice from their doctors. Doctors deserve the freedom to use their training and to follow the science and speak the truth without fear of punishment.
Doctors should be guided by medical judgment and their Hippocratic oath, not by financial incentives or government mandates. That’s what this policy change is about. And it’s just the beginning.“
