Is vaccine-promotion profit-driven?

In a new video, RFK Jr. says that doctors make a lot of money from patient visits and get bonuses from insurance companies for keeping high vaccination rates, which he claims puts money ahead of caring for each patient individually and pushes them to stick to strict vaccine schedules.

Claims like these support that doctors don’t care about children’s health and that they only vaccinate to bring in money. Besides that being absolute malarky, the money in question comes from somewhere and has a purpose.

For-profit insurance companies make money when people pay them and then don’t need more expensive follow-on medical care. They may provide incentives to make sure their customers are vaccinated because vaccines prevent severe illness in their customers, so they won’t end up needing health care services, which would cut into the company’s profits.

If vaccines caused injury, insurance companies would be on the hook. If vaccines caused death, health insurance companies wouldn’t have anyone paying into the system. Insurance companies would only promote an intervention like vaccines if vaccines prevented injury and death. They even offered incentives to their own associates, something that would seem an odd choice for a for-profit organization if they believed the vaccines would harm recipients.
