Anti-vaxxers\u00a0claim<\/a> that a leaked Anthem Health document proves that physicians only recommend the COVID vaccine for a $250,000 bonus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]This program shows how well vaccines work. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is a for-profit insurance company, which makes money when people pay them and then don\u2019t end up needing more expensive medical care. Anthem then pays money to make sure their customers are vaccinated because vaccines prevent severe illness in their customers, so they won\u2019t end up needing health care services, which would cut into the company\u2019s profits.<\/p>\n

If vaccines caused injury, insurance companies like Anthem would be on the hook. Insurance companies would only promote an intervention like vaccines if vaccines prevented injury and death. They even offered incentives to their own associates, something that would seem an odd choice for a for-profit organization if they believed the vaccines would harm recipients.<\/p>\n

Additionally, this is hardly a leaked document as it is on the Anthem\u00a0website<\/a>, along with similar incentive programs for\u00a0different<\/a>\u00a0vaccines<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
