    That is the title of an expose of the deep corruption of USA medical system:

    There is a lot of good information in the wellness community that can keep you out of Big Pharma's clutches. And that is why Big Pharma attempts to censor the wellness community.

    They billed Medicare $80 per shot for me, according to my Cigna (insurance) statement. Let's see, $80x100,000,000=$8B. Times 3 shots= $24B, lots of room for corruption there.

    I have suspected for decades that Americans are being overmedicated especially the elderly. The pharma companies hire reps to push their products on doctors who often cave easily.

    Interesting; I was billed nothing. Since I only take a couple of meds and only see my primary care doc every 6 months, it's easy to follow my bills, and mine turn up nada re shots in my monthly statements. I got the two Phizers, no booster. Last I checked Phizer's shots are costing $26 a shot, and the Feds are paying that; they shouldn't be charging a thing for them at the HMOs and Medicare companies. I'm on the United policies. Maybe thy aren't being paid; just because they send a bill to the insurance companies doesn't necessarily mean the insurance paid them.

    In other news, my brother drove his COVID suffering brother-in-law from Justin, Texas to Marble Falls in a single cab pickup, a 6 hour + drive, a couple of months ago and never caught it. He's unvaxxed.

    None of those shots are free. Somebody pays for it.

    Didn't say they were free, I said the insurance companies aren't necessarily paying for them, the Fed is.

    Current rate has apparently gone up to $35 per shot from $26.
