This page will collect data points that relate to financial aid and bonuses that provided incentives for medical establishments such a hospitals, clinics, doctors and health care staff to promote the COVID-19 diagnosis, treatment and to get the COVID-19 vaccine – which in turn helped generate the statistics that drove a “save us”- fear narrative.
Questions this information may answer!:
Were hospitals incentivised to generate COVID-19 cases?
Were doctors and healthcare practices incentivised to put jabs in more arms?
Did hospitals get paid to treat COVID-19 patients in a certain way – by selectivly applying only approved protocols?
Statistics are used by the media to promote a narrative, but are those statistics pure?
As articles etc. come to my attention that relate to financial incentives, or relevant policies that were put in place which were then used [abused] to promote fear in an unsuspecting population…I will place them below.
It started with the casedemic – Positive PCR test, then the ventilators (which killed 9 out of 10), then remdesivir (which caused kidney failure etc) and then went to the promotion of “get shots” in everyones arms (over and over again) – all to protect grandma!
