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 not directed at you personally, but to all the members of your profession. I have lost a LOT of respect for your profession through this criminal rollout of untested drugs that, apparently, all the Deep Thinkers in the pharmaceutical-medical complex knew had troublesome side effects, inefficacy, and lack of thorough clinical trials.
I once regarded Medicine as a science, driven by research and a search for actual cures. Ten years ago I went through cancer and my doctors were successful in getting rid of it. What happened in the intervening years up to the covid hoax, I can only imagine, but the post above and many, many more like it point to profiteering, pseudoscience, and criminal conduct.
My own GP offered me the jab back in 2021 and I refused. He did have the decency to ask why, and I told him all that I knew back then, having done a lot of independent reading. He merely said, "OK" and dropped the subject. Since then at other checkups, I have also now begun rejecting even the flu vaccine, which I used to take regularly each year.... such is my skepticism of Medicine now.
I still go to my doctor for semi-annual checkups and to keep my few prescriptions (BP and gastric reflux) up to date, but other than that, I've now learned to keep the profession at arm's length, and do my due diligence to be responsible for my own health.
If I have lost that much confidence in your profession -- from cancer patient wholly depending on it for a 'cure' to thinking about it as a modern form of snake oil salesmen -- one has to wonder how the general public feels. I have yet to see any statistics on public confidence in the medical profession, but I would imaging it is down there with the approval ratings of Congress (7%), root canals, and colonoscopies.
What has been done to your profession is as damaging as what Jack Smith, Fani Willis, et al. have done to the Justice system in our country. Faith in ALL our institutions, including Medicine, has been eroded to a degree that I'm not sure it's going to be recovered in my lifetime.
I'm reminded of a scene in "A Man For All Seasons" where Thomas More says to Richard Rich, the false witness who just condemned More to death with his false testimony, ""Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world," sighs More, "but for Wales?"
Medicine sold its collective soul in recent years...for what? ... for a few dollars, and then a few dollars more. What has been revealed is a near-criminal enterprise, where patients are mere chattel, where "cures" are considered a bad business model, and frankly, few people trust you anymore. Snake Oil Incorporated.
That is exactly what your profession has earned... a lot of dollars and the disdain of thinking people everywhere.
Looks liked you missed my “rant” on my former professional life included in my comment as a former M.D. “Diseases created by families in power (pop control + pharma billions kb). Q. A former MD’s point of view https://greatawakening.win/p/17sOxAiidn/diseases-created-by-families-
I can totally relate and understand your sentiments and have ABSOLUTELY no intention of defending the profession. On the contrary I have been strongly discouraging people who asked my advice not to study/work in any branch of the health industrial complex that are involved in pharmaceuticals despite the individual’s well meaning intention to help and/or cure/heal people which was my intention too.
Then I woke up and figured out on my own that I was a “licensed” snake oil vendor - a QUACK.
Yes, I’m going to state it again I NOW consider it an insult, liability and a disgrace to the human race if I’m called as a “Doctor of Medicine”.
FYI: spent 6 years (formal training) and 5 years working in a federal health care system in the state associated with your screen name. Didn’t really enjoy the professional atmosphere that was affiliated with the teaching training programs that I’ve heard people state to be the “Ivy League” school of the south - they were mostly snobbish, arrogant think they were so smart, not to mention they were right smack in a lib/blue part of the state ( in hindsight - I don’t follow and abhor politics).
Apologies, didn't mean it as an attack on you, as I stated in my opening statement.
I just took the opportunity to get that off my chest. I have a close friend who is a neurosurgeon and he is disillusioned by the profession too. But he's stuck in it until he can retire.
No offense taken. Your sentiments are well founded.
As a cancer survivor myself (no chemo/xrt) myself I wouldn’t consider Western medicine treatment should it recur. Alternative medicine is what I would personally pursue.
My professional career was prematurely cut short as a result of personal choice and circumstances and do NOT have a FULL retirement benefit. I was just “warming up” so to speak when i chose (free will) NOT to be a peon of the medical industrial complex anymore - one of the best decisions in my life. I wasn’t even disillusioned - I was actually very happy, and well compensated for the amount and type of work I was doing within the federal healthcare system.
Consider sharing my post to your neurosurgeon friend? Retire to die afterwards?
Consider it shared. Thanks.
You are absolutely 100% correct. I was proud to become a nurse. Today, I'm embarrassed to say that I was. I went into the profession for all of the right reasons. We were taught well back then. The patient was #1. We made a positive difference back then, honestly, we did. Little by little, everything started to change, and that is when I got out of the hospital. The handwriting was on the wall. I got out after 23 years of being in.
So, guess where I landed for the remaining 15 years of my career? In a law firm as a Medical Malpractice Nurse Paralegal, plaintiff side. Poetic justice.
Your story does have an interesting, poetic symmetry to it. Good for you!
I saw “gastric reflux” and had to mention papaya enzymes. I got off my reflux med all together. It made my bones hurt. The enzymes are amazing. Just FYI.
Thanks!
