Vaccines good, good.
Covid jab bad, bad,

I think that about covers it.

strange how she went on about anecdotes rather than scientific basis.

also strange that she did not cite the net benefit for any of the childhood vaccines she mentioned. She did not mention safety, adverse events, or any net benefits to the cohort.

why?

Because she’s not a crazy person like you and RFK Jr.

You're not going to change his indoctrinated mind.

This I know.
But I also thought it was relevant and information I needed to disseminate to my fellow man.

Part 1…..

This can apply to a number of small businesses, think Mom and Pop grocery stores.

When I first got out of school my intention was to go into business for myself. I found an independent pharmacy between Pittsburgh and Erie where the owner allowed me to put in sweat equity as down payment to buy him out. It became apparent rather quickly that corporate pharmacy chains and insurance carriers made independent success nearly impossible, so I cut my loss and moved on.

As far as physicians go, the bureaucracy makes it impossible.

Part 2……..

Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM) are absolute evil, let me explain. Claims through insurance carriers are based on the average wholesale price, a purely arbitrary number having nothing to do with the actual acquisition cost of a drug. A bottle of medication may only cost a few dollars but its AWP could be over $100 or more. It's been a while but a drug like digoxin comes to mind. I always felt bad when elderly patients hit their part D Medicare cap and had to start paying a cash price based on what the government insurance said they should pay. I suggested that we override their insurance and charge a price based on what the actual cost was but was informed the facility could lose their Medicare contract by doing so.

Oh, and you know all those commercials you see on TV saying it could be free through the pharmaceutical company, not if you have a government supplied insurance policy.

I know ALL about PBMs and I couldn't agree more.
