Topic: Del Bigtree

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to raise concerns about the link between vaccines and autism, a topic revisited through a 2015 interview with Robert De Niro. De Niro discussed pulling the documentary "Vaxxed" from the Tribeca Film Festival due to pressure from other filmmakers, despite his personal concerns as a parent of an autistic child. The segment highlights the ongoing tension between "pro-safe vaccine" advocates and the scientific consensus that denies a link between vaccines and autism.

Dr. Naomi Wolf appeared on Del Bigtree's program to discuss her team's analysis of 50,000 Pfizer documents released via court order. Wolf alleges that the documents show the company was aware of serious side effects, including neurological harm and miscarriages, while continuing the vaccine rollout. She characterizes the situation as a "happenstance genocide" due to the intentional exposure of children to known risks.

A detailed NPR report examines the growing alliance between the anti-vaccine movement and the political far-right. The piece features Eric Trump, activist Del Bigtree, and strategist Roger Stone, suggesting that vaccine skepticism is being used as a wedge issue for the 2022 elections. NPR cites data from the Kaiser Family Foundation claiming a high correlation between Republican affiliation and belief in "misinformation," which the hosts criticize as partisan propaganda.

Hospitalist Deborah Conrad appeared on "The High Wire" to discuss her efforts to report vaccine adverse events to the VAERS database. Conrad observed a spike in heart attacks and sepsis following vaccinations at her Western New York facility but found that most providers were unaware of their legal obligation to report these incidents. She eventually took on the reporting role as a volunteer task during her time off.

The discussion centers on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and its alleged under-reporting of injuries. The hosts cite a 2010 Harvard study suggesting VAERS captures less than 1% of actual vaccine adverse events. They criticize the CDC for failing to automate the system and discuss the political controversy surrounding Senator Ron Johnson's use of VAERS data.
