Why do some people think that pediatricians make a big vaccine bonus from Blue Cross Blue Shield for vaccinating and protecting their patients?

Pediatricians did not make $40,000 from Blue Cross Blue Shield vaccine bonus payments.
Total payments in the incentive program were capped at $9,600 per provider, so no one made $40,000 or $80,000.

The usual suspects…

About the Blue Cross Blue Shield Vaccine Bonus for Pediatricians

News that some pediatricians are making an extra $40,000 to $80,000 by simply vaccinating and protecting their patients might make some pediatricians a little aggressive.

But only because they would be left wondering why they aren’t getting any of these big bonus checks!

Why not?

Because they don’t exist.

“This means that a 5-doctor pediatric practice, if they reach 100% compliance on vaccinations, will receive a bonus of just over $3,000,000 (that’s not a typo, my math is right, that’s $3 million bucks!!)*.”

JB Handley

Anti-vaccine influencers have been misusing reports of these kinds of vaccine incentives for a long time now. They likely believe them because they make big money selling you supplements, books, subscriptions, and tickets to attend seminars, etc.

Pediatric providers, typically the lowest paid health care providers, don’t make a lot of money from these kinds of large vaccine incentives though.

Incentives that, a BCBS spokesperson has said:

  • were capped at $9,500 per provider, so no one could have made $40,000 or $80,000 or $3 million!
  • were at the minimum $400 level for some providers
  • are only available for short periods of time in very small, regional markets where vaccination rates might be low – this one, for example ran in Michigan for BCBS providers in 2016.

And to be clear, these are simply incentives to help make sure children are following the recommended childhood immunization schedule.

Incentives, if they were real, which might actually keep pediatricians from firing families that don’t vaccinate their kids!

Incentives that Anti-Vaccine Influencers Get

Now if you are truly concerned that your pediatrician might be influenced by a $400 payment for helping you get vaccinated and protected, then you should be even more concerned about all of the money anti-vaccine influencers get for scaring you away from vaccines!

In just one recent year, for example, consider that:

  • Pierre Kory – made $368,815 from the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance
  • Paul Marik – made $400,000 from the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance
  • Simone Gold – made $581,000 from America’s Frontline Doctors
  • Del Bigtree – made $284,000 from the Informed Consent Action Network
  • Robert F Kennedy, Jr – made over $500,000 from the Children’s Health Defense

In addition to publishing misinformation about vaccines, many of these folks are behind the idea that ivermectin can treat COVID.

Anti-vaccine influencers have incentives to push the idea that Pediatricians make a $40,000 from Blue Cross Blue Shield vaccine bonus payments to help them sell ivermectin.
How close is an “expression of concern” to getting a retraction?

So as you can see, some people have learned how to make a lot of money being anti-vaccine.

Anti-vaccine influencers have incentives to push the idea that Pediatricians make a $40,000 from Blue Cross Blue Shield vaccine bonus payments to help them sell detox sprays.
How many millions do these folks make from detox sprays you don’t really need?

They overwhelm you with memes and stories of vaccine dangers to build an audience, and then they sell you unnecessary supplements and detox kits! Or just make money from ads on YouTube, X (Twitter), and Instagram.

We know the game they play.

Do you?
