Topic: Financial Incentives

Hospitals are reportedly receiving a 20% bonus payout from CMS for treating COVID-19 patients with Remdesivir instead of cheaper alternatives. Dr. Ardis explains that this financial incentive discourages the use of Ivermectin, which costs significantly less. He also mentions the use of Midazolam in the UK and U.S. to sedate patients, comparing the current ICU environment to "modern-day death camps."

Melissa Gunderson describes being "bullied" by hospital staff who insisted her husband be placed on a ventilator. She recounts the difficulties in getting him home, including the hospital's alleged refusal to provide an oxygen prescription or medical records. Alex Jones claims that hospitals receive $53,000 per intubation, suggesting a financial motive for the hospital's insistence on their specific COVID protocol.
