Episode 466: VACCINE UPTAKE, LIABILITY, AND ALUMINUM IN VACCINES Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

The HighWire with Del Bigtree — Episode 466 (March 5, 2026) opens with breaking legal and policy news: the Trump EPA has filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court backing Bayer/Monsanto and glyphosate (Roundup). Del breaks down what the government is arguing, what’s at stake for warning labels and litigation, and why the outcome could reshape corporate accountability around glyphosate-based herbicides.
Then, Jefferey Jaxen covers the accelerating shift in public vaccine sentiment, as global vaccine uptake declines and pharmaceutical stocks react to falling demand. Del analyzes the latest reported data, including a major worldwide drop in Gardasil (HPV vaccine) uptake, and what these trends could signal for vaccine policy, mandates, and the future of the vaccine marketplace.
Also, a dive into the growing national debate over vaccine manufacturer liability. New polling indicates strong public support for restoring legal accountability for vaccine makers, a key issue tied to vaccine injury protections, medical freedom, and federal vaccine policy.
Plus, an in-studio scientific discussion you don’t want to miss: Del is joined by Dr. James Neuenschwander and Dr. Brian Hooker to break down a new study examining aluminum in vaccines and the potential implications for vaccine safety research, adverse event risk, and the broader childhood vaccination schedule.

PEOPLE VS POISON Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

“Food Babe” Vani Hari joins Del to expose what she calls a make-or-break moment for the food movement. With 180,000 cancer lawsuits, billions already paid out, and a lobbying machine entrenched in D.C., she warns Bayer is pushing toward Supreme Court immunity to avoid future liability. After a decade battling Monsanto, Vani says the window to act is closing—and is organizing a massive rally at the U.S. Supreme Court on April 27, 2025, “People vs. Poison,” to mobilize the public before it’s too late.

BACKLASH BUILDS OVER GLYPHOSATE MOVE Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

A new executive order aimed at ensuring an “adequate supply” of glyphosate-based herbicides is drawing backlash from MAHA leaders—who say it echoes the 1986 liability shield created under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. They argue the move functions as a protection plan for manufacturers while limiting public recourse, and warn it could be a lobbyist-driven push to expand legal immunity for chemical companies. With public pressure now building, MAHA voices are urging viewers to mobilize—before glyphosate follows the same path vaccines did.

EPSTEIN FILES REVEAL POWER BROKERS IN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

Newly surfaced documents and reporting are fueling questions about whether a small network of powerful players including Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and individuals linked to Robert Maxwell’s scientific publishing legacy sought outsized influence over how research is distributed and amplified. Emails, investments, and media-funding ties are being cited as potential indicators of an effort to shape which scientific ideas rise to prominence and which get sidelined. The broader issue: who controls the pipelines of modern science—publishing, PR, and perception—and what transparency is owed to the public when power concentrates behind the scenes.
