Around thirty years ago, I was visiting a friend who was an oncologist. We were in his kitchen and he was loading up one syringe after another. I asked him what that was and he said flu shots.

Around thirty years ago, I was visiting a friend who was an oncologist. We were in his kitchen and he was loading up one syringe after another. I asked him what that was and he said flu shots. I said I thought Internists, not Oncologists, dispensed flu shots. He said "any doctor can do it. I get one hundred dollars a pop!" This was thirty years ago! I have more recently spoken to physician friends and the profit motive has changed slightly. In large systems like the VA, the doctors may get a bonus if they hit a quota, and they will get docked in pay if they don't hit their quota of shots.
The profit motive is being pushed regardless of harm. My friend's mother in high school, was a M.D. anesthesiologist, this was the 70's. She said doctors from China came over to demonstrate acupuncture, she said they were shocked it worked and how well it worked! They were afraid if it were allowed in the U.S. they would be out of a job...the most dangerous part of any surgery is...
Oh forgot, in the 80's I started taking l tryptophan, was distraught when l tryptophan was banned. Called the FDA to ask if I could buy it legally from a Canadain pharmacy. She said no, said she was a supervisor, then went on to tell me that the few cases of disease that the media claimed to be caused by l tryptophan was not true...ummm...this is the same time Prozac came out....she suspected...
When people who stand up for right regardless of the danger, the purest form of altruism, agrue and attack each other it is a dam shame.

My god, Kev, if people only knew! Why don't they know...

I'm going to ask my VA doctor if they get a bonus for jabs this week. Will be interesting...
