Wife works in the medical world and use to work at a pain clinic. Pharma companies always wanted to bring lunch for the whole office to get a few minutes to speak with one or more of the doctors and PA's. So it's likely the people in the office got wined and dined to the tune of 108 dollar's so that some rep could shill some new product. Honestly the Doctor/PA's she use to work with hated it but would still agree to the lunch because the whole office got feed for free. A few times when they declined a lunch the whole office would get shitty from the stories I've heard.
Not a great practice but far from secret kickback's.
As for the jab, they get paid to ask you about it along with several other things.
One doctor that I went to last year (and has now resigned and moved out of state) was wined and dined by AstraZeneca to the tune of $108.
This same doctor was pushing the jab on me pretty heavily...until I shot him down with the facts.
I suspected I might find his name on the list, and I did. He was the only doctor I go to that was on it.

To me, this is even worse. The entire office is complicit in accepting what is, in essence, a bribe. Where is everyone's integrity?
