Kudos, thank you, great post from brain_dead [Unchained Hounds] for piquing my interest and desire today to look further into these CoVID incentives.
Here is the link to that post. https://twitter.com/HerbsandDirt/status/1792779063364645049
Yep, It's much worse, but first, just a short intro and deviation from the topic at hand...I am a retired RN who worked full time in healthcare for 38 years. Today, my biggest fear is being admitted to a hospital in a position where I cannot speak for myself. An informed advocate is needed in those situations.
Ok, now to the issue at hand. The CoVID Handwriting On the Wall Progression:
On MARCH 30, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued EXTENSIVE blanket waivers to the PDF (Physician Self-Referral) Law (Stark Law). The waivers were retroactive to March 1, 2020, they were applied nationwide and remained in effect for the duration of the public health emergency (PHE) which ended on May 11, 2023, but there are certain waivers still in effect today, especially for ALL OF THOSE NON-CITIZENS WHO ARE CROSSING, SWIMMING,, FLYING, WALKING, whatever method, into the USA.
These waivers specifically provided the entire healthcare establishment the "how to" and "what not to do" info regarding how to obtain INCENTIVES to ALL healthcare disciplines and pharmacies pertaining to CoVID testing and vaccination administration.
These blanket waivers are too numerous to count. They are explicit and lengthy. They are rules and guidelines, all specifically CoVID-related, containing hundreds of instructions pertaining to reimbursements and incentives. They are extremely detailed and inclusive of EVERY SINGLE HEALTHCARE RELATED DISCIPLINE, whether it be HOSPITAL, NURSING HOME, PHARMACY AND etc....you name it, and it applied.
HOW, HOW, HOW, can these massive amounts of rules and guidelines (many are even specific to the state itself) have been accomplished so quickly for A BRAND NEW VIRUS, and provided ONLY 9 DAYS AFTER the WHO DECLARED COVID 19 A PANDEMIC AND ONLY 15 DAYS BEFORE INCREMENTAL SHUTDOWNS EVEN BEGAN IN THE US?.... IT COULD NOT...
unless all of these blanket waivers were previously written long before any of us ever heard the word "COVID." And that has to be EXACTLY what happened.
In order to put things in perspective, here is a timeline that covers some of the noteworthy highlights for the first half of 2020.
1/9/20 - WHO announces mysterious coronavirus- related pneumonia in Wuhan
1/20/20 - CDC says 3 US airports will begin screening for Covid
1/21/20 - CDC Confirms first US case, and Chinese scientist confirms CoVID 19 human transmission
1/23/20 - Wuhan now under quarantine
1/31/20 - WHO issues global health emergency
2/2/20 - Global air traffic is restricted
2/3/20 - US confirms public health emergency
2/25/20 - CDC says CoVID 19 is heading toward pandemic status
3/6/20 - 3/21/20 - Passengers on CA cruise ship test positive
3/11/20 - WHO declares CoVID 19 a pandemic
3/15/20 - States begin issuing shutdowns
3/17/20 - University of Minnesota begins testing hydroxychloroquine along with azithromycin (AZT)
3/19/20 - CA issues statewide stay-at-home order
3/24/20 - Clinical trials are placed on hold and innovation stalls
3/25/20 - "Reports" find extended shutdowns can delay second wave
3/30/20 - FDA authorizes use of hydroxychloroquine, and blanket waivers for health care/physicians/hospitals, etc , were initiated
3/31/20 - CoVID 19 can be transmitted through the eye
4/8/20 - Troubles with hydroxychloroquine and AZT - the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Heart Rhythm Society said the drugs aren't for everyone. That was the end for both drugs
4/29/20 - NIH trial shows early promise for Remdesivir
5/1/20 - Remdesivir wins EUA
5/21/20 - US and AstraZeneca form vaccine deal
6/4/20 - Lancet and NEJM retract CoVID 19 studies on hydroxychloroquine
On APRIL 21, 2020, CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued guidance on the scope and application of the blanket waivers to the Stark Law. Additionally, the HHS, Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a FAQ guide to explain its administrative enforcement authorities to arrangements directly connected to the CoVID 19 PHE (public health emergency)
Again, the waivers and instructions and guidelines for implementation are too numerous to count and would take any of us a very long time to read all of them, but they are available on authentic and safe sites online.

This is some fire work dude! Those in healthcare who barked the loudest in support of the vax should be ashamed.
Yep, they should, but the ones I know are not. It is DENIAL, through and through. I don't understand the mentality of anybody who cannot say, "I was wrong."
I'll never forget when this whole CoVID bs started in Jan. 2020. I was initially concerned. At that time, I was recovering from a total knee replacement, going to PT, and had a lot of "down time" which I took advantage of to learn as much as possible about this new and fatal virus. Very quickly, I discovered things were not adding up correctly at all and, additionally, my favorite response to the many frightened people was this: "I'll be concerned when I start seeing random people dropping dead in the streets."
Anyway, fast forward to the very end of 2020 and early 2021when the vaccines became available and people were losing their minds and traveling for hours to get their shot. So, I am on the phone talking to best girlfriend who still works as a nurse in an inner city local hospital. She knew that I was not going to obtain the vaccine. Her immediate response was she would not take care of a patient if they refused the vaccine, and I said, "So, If I came into your ER and required life saving treatment, you would refuse to treat me and care for me? Without any hesitation, she said "YES." I'll never ever forget that.
