If you're thinking about healthcare spending in the US, one fact worth noting About 9% of healthcare spending goes to physician compensation Another 9% goes to nurses Yes, doctors and nurses get paid more in the US than they do in other countries and yes, a small proportion of physicians really do get paid a lot But I've never thought we're going to solve our healthcare spending by going after physician and nursing salaries Not enough there -- and slashing physician or nursing compensation would be a great way to demoralize the core of the US healthcare workforce

More bad news for the "vaccines are killing millions" crowd! Researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health conducted a comprehensive registry study examining all-cause mortality between vaccinated & unvaccinated from the entire population in Norway, over 4.6 million people. In all age groups, the rate of death was lowest among those were fully vaccinated & highest among those that were unvaccinated. All-cause mortality was 24–30% lower for those who had received at least three doses compared to those who had not received a single dose. Each individual was counted as vaccinated from the date of vaccination. Unvaccinated only includes those who never received a single dose.

There's a story behind every person. There is a reason why they're the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.
