“COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive Program”

It has been known for decades that every prescription that is written by our Doctors is reported back to the drug company. It has been suggested that it is one of the reasons for the explosion of the opiate prescriptions that were written back in the ’90s. Connect the dots, as much as we would prefer not to. Now we have this reveal that I picked up. Written by John Leake, I suppose we should not be surprised. Here we go:

Many readers of this Substack have doubtless wondered why their “healthcare providers”—i.e., doctors, repeatedly exhorted them to get the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. In my extended social circle, I heard many reports of doctors being downright pushy about it—as though getting the COVID-19 vaccine was the single most pressing matter of medicine and health.

Even patients who’d recently recovered from COVID-19 were urged by their doctors to get the shots, as were patients who had bad reactions to the first injection.

For a long time Dr. McCullough and I wondered if these doctors really were that brainwashed, or was there some other explanation for their zeal?

A few days ago, fellow Substack author, Tessa Lena (Tessa Fights Robots) published this document that was apparently circulated to doctors with patients insured by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid in the state of Kentucky.

Not the first time. Last year I posted:

The government paying for so called “counseling” when the desired outcome of the government is made known is troublesome. In this case it’s for kids and COVID vaccination. These “chats” can imperil the quality and quantity of your life as we have seen occur during the Obama years.

One can bet that the charge for the chat billed to the government best include a bill for the vaccine. That is how this is tracked for anyone interested. Medical centers want as much income as possible thus one can connect the dots on this one. Lots of chats, lots of vaccinations.

As always, follow the money as I did last year.
The best of the swamp.

U.S. Implements WHO Medical/Diagnosis Codes for the Unvaxed

Medical billing codes (DRG’s) are numbers Hospitals and Doctors use to define a diagnosis for a medical condition. It is used to get reimbursed for services rendered. The amount of money paid up to now is dependent on the exact number assigned. For the first time it is being used for other purposes.

These are internationally recognized codes for very specific medical conditions for insurance and government purposes. They are accessible worldwide should you be overseas and have a health issue that needs to be treated. Under Obama and Obama care Medical Service Codes Go From 18,000 to 140,000

Posted back in 2011. That was the beginning of the tale of the DRG’s that were being used for nefarious purposes. Here is an example I used. If one does not use the “correct” code as later determined by the government after review one can be in big big trouble.

A new use has now been implemented. For the very first time it is being used for not what you have but what you have not done.

We pick up the story in Gateway Pundit

Fast forward now to April 2022. This is when the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) announced a new code that anyone who is awake and aware of the growing medical tyranny should be concerned about. After some delays, the new code was rolled out in October 2022 and became available to nearly every medical clinic and hospital in January 2023.

What is this new code? It’s Code Number Z28.310. This is the code for a very peculiar “diagnosis” since it’s not a diagnosis at all, but an invasion of privacy and likely to be used against many people in the future. This is the code your doctor will log into the computer system that is accessed by government and private health insurers informing them of your Covid vaccine status.

In response to the ongoing national emergency concerning COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is implementing 3 new diagnosis codes, Z28.310, Z28.311 and Z28.39, into the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), for reporting COVID-19 vaccination status effective April 1, 2022

Z28.3 is the diagnostic code for being under-vaccinated generally, but it gets more specific from there.

“It’s non-specific,” the doctor explained. “But with Covid they added the 1 after the 3 (Z28.31), so Covid is the only vaccine they’re specific for. Then they added a second digit if you’re partially vaccinated and didn’t get any of the boosters.”

These codes could continue to get more specific to the point that they also log in codes for why you refuse Big Pharma’s ineffective and unsafe — but very profitable — injections.

One patient’s diagnosis code that was used already was specific for refusing the vaccine due to his schizophrenia.

What about if you continually refuse your doctor-recommended vaccines? Could you end up being diagnosed with mental illness? And once you get diagnosed with a mental disorder, you can lose many of your constitutional rights. You essentially become a second-class citizen.

Here’s where it gets interesting. At the G20 Summit held a couple of months ago in Indonesia in November 2022, the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies issued a joint statement that called on the nations of the world to implement a global digital vaccine passport system, based on standards set by the WHO, which would force international travelers to have a digital vaccine passport ID on their mobile phone. Without it, you would not be “allowed” to travel outside your home country, unless of course you’re an illegal migrant trying to get to the U.S. or Europe from an “undeveloped” or “under developed” country.

We also know, from a Forbes magazine article published in February 2022, that nearly half of the states in America had already at that point signed the contracts and laid the infrastructure to implement digital vaccine passports, so this same system could eventually be used to control, or at least monitor, the travel of Americans outside of their states.

While the United States government has not issued a federal digital vaccine pass, a national standard has nevertheless emerged. To date, 21 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico offer accessibility to the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination developed through the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), a global coalition of public and private stakeholders including Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, the Mayo Clinic and other health and tech heavyweights.

And very soon, at least four more states will be rolling out access to SMART Health Cards. “We’ve seen a notable uptick in states that have officially launched public portals where individuals can get verifiable vaccination credentials in the form of SMART Health Cards with a QR code,” says Dr. Brian Anderson, co-founder of the VCI and chief digital health physician at MITRE.

Then we have the World Economic Forum’s push toward Smart Cities, recently rebranded as “15-Minute Cities,” which would monitor and restrict travel outside of one’s city. Are you following me here? A digital system is being put in place that would have the capability of essentially locking down entire populations at any given time. All that would be needed is a declaration of a “public health emergency of international concern,” or of “regional concern” and the U.S and E.U. are trying their hardest to turn that authority over to the WHO in the form of a new pandemic treaty.

Eventually, as we have been informed by Yuval Noah Harari, a top adviser to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, the plan is to put this digital surveillance technology not just on your mobile phone but “under the skin.

So there you have it folks. It has been a mystery why the military has been so insisted on forcing everyone to be injected. Perhaps the clues are here.

For those who want to know what happened to healthcare I leave you with earlier links I posted. At the time I was still working in the biz, and I can assure you it was the beginning of the death nell.

Medical Service Codes Go From 18,000 to 140,000

“What’s more, Obamacare increases the fine for billing errors from $11,000 per item to $50,000 without the government even having to prove intent to defraud”.

Sebelius to unleash Bounty Hunters on Hospitals and Doctors with new edict

… posted back January 6, 2011 –  Obamacare hires Bounty Hunters to come after Doctors, the intent is to unleash private mercenaries on the healthcare industry,

It has created a new interagency task force called HEAT (Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team) under which health-care officials will collaborate with the FBI to go after Medicare fraud. In addition, it has expanded to several cities the Medicaid Fraud Strike Force that authorizes FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency agents to jointly analyze Medicare claims data in real time to detect and investigate irregularities by area doctors.

More chillingly, however, the administration is defining Medicare fraud down to include “unnecessary” and “ineffective” care. And to root this out, it plans to make expanded use of private mercenaries—officially called Recovery Audit Contracts—who will be authorized to go to doctors’ offices and rummage through patients’ records, matching them with billing claims to uncover illicit charges. What’s more, Obamacare increases the fine for billing errors from $11,000 per item to $50,000 without the government even having to prove intent to defraud.

All of this of course to get to single payer healthcare. The very best of the swamp.

Warp Speed Biden Signs $137 Million Covid Test Factory – Won’t Open Until Late 2024

This week alone: CNN: Cloth masks don’t work. CDC Director: PCR tests are unreliable Fauci: 10 day quarantines can be cut to 5 days now. Biden: There is no federal solution to beat COVID-19.

 
They are shifting the narrative. Just in time for the midterms.
 

DailyMail:

The Biden administration struck a $137 million deal to build a new factory in the U.S. to ramp up production of COVID-19 testing kits – but the new facility won’t be completed until late 2024 at the earliest.

MilliporeSigma, a brand formed by Germany’s Merck KGaA, will build a new factory in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the Defense Department announced as the U.S. hit a high record of 489,267 COVID cases on Wednesday

While the contract gives the company three years to complete the facility, it is not immediately clear when it will ramp up to full production, which is expected to pump out 83.3 million tests per month.

…..

There are concerns Biden won’t be able to deliver on his promise for 500 million tests as it emerged Wednesday contracts for the order won’t be finished until early January and the administration is still ‘working to finalize’ how to distribute the kits.

Biden Admits He Was Unprepared Amid COVID Tests Shortage

Imagine having such a callous disregard for the health and safety of your fellow Americans that you *joke* about how absurd it would be to ensure access to basic testing as a disease control measure.

The answer is we need more than one for each American, and since you’re sending us something, how about some N95 masks also.

As I watch government officials including our Reps and media types wearing KN95. I can only shake my head. KN designates they were made in China. Maybe we can beg China for some test kits. Are there no companies in the United States that can make N95’s?

But how are N95 masks different from KN95 masks? The main difference lies in how the masks are certified. “In general,” says Sean Kelly, founder of New Jersey-based PPE of America, “N95 is the U.S. standard, and the KN95 is the China standard.” Because of this, only N95 masks are approved for health-care use in the United States, even though KN95 masks have many of the same protective properties.

(Personally I would like to have more than “many of the same protective properties.” Especially for our healthcare workers.)

The official said the government is invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to award the contract for the manufacturing plant, claiming there are several similar contracts in the works.

Biden has already used the DPA to speed production of swabs and pipettes for COVID-19 test production. Can’t we swing by one of your buddies to farm out another no bid contract for N95 Masks that work?

Recall this?

Chinese Covid test kits and N95 Masks prove faulty

Dutch officials have recalled 600,000 face masks manufactured in China because they did not meet quality standards, the government’s health ministry said on Saturday.

The news shocked frontline medical staff in the Netherlands, who rely on high-quality products to protect them from contracting Covid-19, Dutch public broadcaster NOS said.

Half of the shipment of 1.3 million supposedly top-of-the-line face masks – known as N95 in the United States and Hong Kong – had already been distributed to doctors and nurses treating the most critical Covid-19 patients, the government said.

COVID Stats: Number of Hospitalized Patients- Percent Vax, Non-Vax, ICU Non- ICU, and Vent Non-Vent

Here are the number of Covid hospitalized patients both vaccinated and unvaccinated. The percent of patients in the ICU and on Vents for both groups. This from Penn Lancaster General in Pennsylvania.

Anyone at high risk, or over 70, or with co-morbidities, or living in congregate living arrangements, may find this information especially useful. I appreciate those who are sharing the downside and risks of the vaccines. However it is reaching a fervor that needs to be tempered with risks inherent with forgoing vaccination.

I live in a retirement community that has had 28 Covid deaths. Since the vaccination the second jab of which was in April we have had zero deaths, the dying stopped. We have had some additional cases of Covid though unclear how many of these were break throughs or were unvaccinated. We had a 96 percent vaccination rate of residents as of last April.

Data is current as of October 28, 2021 at 6 a.m. Additional state and countywide COVID-19 data can be found on the Pennsylvania Department of Health website.

Cuomo: I’ll Fine Doctors Up To $1 Million If They Vaccinate Someone Who Isn’t Eligible Yet

 

What was promised regarding the distribution of the vaccine is becoming a mess. Fauci insists that half the vaccine has to be held back in order for the second shot to be available. Meanwhile apparently the expiration date is an issue along with keeping the vaccine at an unbelievable cold temperature for one of the vaccines.

But I do know, threatening physicians is not the way to go.  All seniors should be getting this. They are the ones dying.

Hot Air put together an interesting post on the topic. I suggest having at it:

 

Just one third of the total doses distributed to New York has been administered so far. A mere 1.2 percent of the state population has received the jab since mid-December. America is jogging along on vaccinations at a moment when the virus, propelled by its more contagious new variant, is beginning to sprint.

We’re only a few weeks into this and yet the calculus has already begun to shift from making sure that rules of prioritization are strictly followed to getting as many doses into arms as quickly as possible in order to catch up to the virus and slow transmission, prioritization be damned.

In other words, true to the form he displayed last spring, Cuomo is already a step behind. By threatening doctors to stick rigidly to the prioritization scheme, he’s destined to slow down the vaccination process at a moment when it desperately needs to speed up.

This series of tweets started circulating online last night as a counterpoint to Cuomo’s logic. Israel is the smash success of the global vaccination process so far for complicated reasons, but a not so complicated one is that they understand their top goal is to get the greatest possible number vaccinated ASAP. Prioritzation is a secondary concern.

….

In New York those nurses would face a $1 million fine from Darth Cuomo, all because they smartly decided to distribute an expiring vaccine rather than let it go to waste. The vaccinated pizza guy is now one less vector of transmission for the virus, yet Cuomo might revoke someone’s license for making it happen.

Vaccine payouts for injuries and deaths $4.4 billion by U.S. Government

 

Vaccine makers are IMMUNE from liability!

REMINDER: National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program’s payouts to vaccine-injured total more than $4.4 billion since 1989. Here are petition & compensation data. Will minors get a chance to review before granting “informed consent!?

Covid mRNA vaccines are totally untested in general population. Mainstream scientists & others are asking serious questions about whether they will INCREASE long-term risk of autoimmune disease.The effects on women’s fertility. The discussion is widespread on social media despite censors.

Big Pharma can’t say how long alleged protection of COVID-19 vaccines will last. Can’t tell you about synergistic effects with other vaccines. Can’t tell you about long-term side effects.

Bonus flashback post not to be missed:

If you want to know how a Biden/Obama administration has in mind regarding Covid, check out what they had in mind in 2014. This was at a time of an Ebola scare:

An executive order signed by President Obama at the end of July also allows for the “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”

The executive order, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases, amends executive order 13295, passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”

The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred only to SARS.

In addition,  Model state emergency public healthcare act     public health authorities and governors would be given expanded police powers to seize control of communications devices, public and private property, as well as a host of other draconian measures in the event of a public health emergency.

Other than that, all is well in the swamp.

The Cures Act – No longer is ‘Informed Consent’ required for some medical experiments

The COVID vaccine arrival as well as Biden’s choice for his nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to lead the Health and Human Services Department makes it imperative that we give the Cures Act a review. There have been administrative tweaks to the bill but section 3023 remains.

Jan 31, 2020 — The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), signed into law on December 13, 2016, is designed to help accelerate medical product development and bring new innovations and advances to patients who need them faster and more efficiently. (Link) 21st Century Cures Act

The Cures Act was passed in the tail end of 2016. Today I focus on Section 3023, 3024 regarding Informed Consent and why you should care. No longer is the Gold Standard of “Informed Consent” required if there are “no more of minimal risks to participants.” And who decides this?

Earlier I posted Trump hogties the EPA, will he stop their illegal human medical experiments? This is why you should care. But let me not get ahead of myself. I include a video.

A year and a half after the original bill left the House of Representatives, the much-discussed and highly anticipated 21st Century Cures Act became law on December 13, 2016. The legislation went through more than a few changes in those seventeen months; it expanded from four sections to twenty-five and from 362 pages to 966. Informed Consent Waiver or Alteration for Clinical Investigations

The Cures Act introduces the possibility of waiving or altering informed consent for some FDA-governed research. This decision could mark a major step in the required harmonization of regulations; the rules around waivers of informed consent are some of the significant differences between FDA and Common Rule requirements.

The law sets two requirements for waiving or altering informed consent:

  1. The research must pose no more than minimal risk to participants; and
  2. Other measures to protect study volunteers must be in place.

The bill does not specify who will confirm decisions about minimal risk or appropriate safeguards, but the requirements seem consistent with determinations that IRBs already make.

From Science Blogs:

Title:The 21st Century Cures Act passes, potentially turning the FDA into a puppet of the pharmaceutical industry. (Well worth the full  read.)

Worse, the bill undermines informed consent, as I discussed before. The provision is still there that would add another category of research for which it is acceptable to forego informed consent. Normally, it is only acceptable to skip informed consent when it is not feasible or it is contrary to the best interests of the subject.

Add to that now that it would be acceptable to forego informed consent when “the proposed clinical testing poses no more than minimal risk to the human subject and includes appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of the human subject.”

As Merrill Goozner put it and I agreed, even if the risk is minimal, why would the authors of this legislation waive a central tenet of international agreements designed to protect the rights of human subjects in clinical trials? I didn’t understand either (and still don’t), particularly since the act doesn’t define “minimal risk” or specify who determines whether a study is minimal risk.

Well worth a good look. Our lives may depend on it. An excellent review of the bill and the ramifications.

This is a B-ville repost done in March of 2017:

The Cures Act – No longer is ‘Informed Consent’ required for some medical experiments

I am not sure I for one want the Biden administration in charge of:

Human research subject protections

The 21st Century Cures Act calls on the Secretary of Health and Human Services to harmonize differences between the HHS Human Subject Regulations and FDA Human Subject Regulations. In so doing, the Secretary may change rules applying to vulnerable populations in order “to reduce regulatory duplication and unnecessary delays” and “modernize such provisions in the context of multisite and cooperative research projects.” – Wikipedia,

Unfortunately the Quorum links are no longer available.

Other than this all is well in the swamp.
