I was about to say that maybe there's more pharma funding of doctors in the US than Europe, but based on nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7ctvvahjuat50phjummwv5q35amnwvaz7tmrv968xarjwgh8xampwfkhxarj9e3k7mgqyrcmjyd0r3a9vpe78wpm5l42dq2xwpqwp7aa6fj5gk4gpejuyaxzy06fp23 (nprofile…fp23) 's note, maybe not!
One of the biggest children's hospitals in the US - also a huge teaching school - is part of the University of Pennsylvania. Penn has made tens of millions of dollars on royalties from the covid vaccine alone. The hospital itself has multi-million dollar contracts with Pfizer, with Bayer, with a company called Resilience (biomanufacturing), with Spark Therapeutics .
Penn has collaborative contracts with Novartis, Pfizer and RVAC and BioNTech.
In many pediatric practices, insurance providers offer bonuses to doctors for vaccine target rates among the children.
And as Lebanese Hodl pointed out - and I've heard from friends who are doctors - there's a whole lot of wining and dining of doctors by pharma reps. One of my friends told me about the conferences and then added "I could go out to a fancy steak dinner every single night."
Sadly, most medicine as it is currently practiced is so intertwined with pharma that it's hard to imagine that doctors can make independent judgement and decisions.
