So that's either assault if the patients didn't know it wasn't the vaccine and/or forgery of health documents. So once again covering for criminals

It's so fucked up. Imagine you went to vaccinate your kid and the doctor lied to you, injected them with saline. Then you go out believing your kid is immunized.

Those people should definitely sue the fucker and his employer in civil court for child endangerment. If you can't get justice then at least take everything he has. Also that way Trump and his cronies can't let him get away with it again.

I think this was in collusion with the parents. But you don't want the kids to spill beans so they still get an injection (and are kept in the dark about things that are important for their health).

Its fraud. In many cases this would be insurance fraud. Why health insurance companies aren't going after him is beyond me.

In the US, the ACA limits insurance company expenses and profits to a fraction of their actual, delivered care. They get paid more for providing more care, and it doesn't matter whether that "care" actually reaches or benefits a patient. They're fine with fraud, as long as it doesn't grow so fast that they outspend their revenues. Gotta ride the wave of costs rising fast enough to justify next year's raise, but slow enough to hold on to this year's bonus.

These guys claim that as much as 20% of private insurance payments are fraudulent.

If they complain for that one, then they won't get to use AI to deny treatments. Small cost for bigger profits

No it's not, it's actually completely legal.
