According to Bigtree, the question he is really focusing on is: “<i>When we say vaccines are safe, how do we determine that?</i>” Well, there are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/03/07/contrary-to-antivaccine-claims-childhood-immunization-schedules-are-evidence-based/">clear</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and <a href="http://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/immune-system-and-health">available answers</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> to that question.

He also shows up at virtually every national antivaccine rally or demonstration, such as the rather feeble <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2017/04/04/antivaxers-marched-on-washington-last-week-it-was-less-than-impressive"><i>Revolution for Truth </i>march on Washington</a></span><a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2017/04/04/antivaxers-marched-on-washington-last-week-it-was-less-than-impressive"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Moreover, he lends his “authority” to virtually every other antivaxx organization, such as <a href="https://vaccinesworkblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/spreading-fear-and-misinformation-to-pregnant-women/">Informed Choice Washington</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, for which he stated, in a video, that the CDC knows that flu vaccines during pregnancy causes abortion but hides it. Flu vaccines during pregnancy <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/qa_vacpregnant.htm">do not cause abortion</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, and the CDC does not hide studies, as opposed to Bigtree, who neglects to mention the existence of any study whose results don’t line up with what he wants the results to be.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of particular note are his efforts to promote antivaccine conspiracy theories to orthodox Jewish communities in New York that had already <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/fact-checking-an-anti-vax-vaccine-symposium">experienced severe outbreaks of measles</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> [there’s a fact check of Bigtree’s claims in the link]. As usual, Bigtree skilfully targeted his message, in this case focusing on the narrative that all humans are born perfect and that <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature">the Earth is designed to take care of us</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> without pharmaceutical interventions – in addition to the usual litany of antivaccine misinformation, including claiming that the measles vaccine is <i>causing</i> measles because a percentage of measles patients are vaccinated (yes, it’s <a href="https://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_arts_john/061319DEBUNK3.jpg">that basic numbers game</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, and Bigtree probably knows it but assumes that a sufficient number of his listeners don’t). Also notable are Bigtree's <a href="https://jezebel.com/the-anti-vaccination-movement-is-working-with-the-natio-1796021231">joint efforts</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> with the extremist conspiracy group <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nation_of_Islam">Nation of Islam</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> to promote antivaccine misinformation in Black communities. More recently, Bigtree has teamed up with Qanon promoters, e.g at the 2020 conspiracyfest <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/10/05/ampfest-antivaxxers-team-up-with-qanon-and-covid-19-cranks/">AMPFest</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Off stage, he tends to walk around government buildings hoping to sway lawmakers. For instance, when <a href="http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2020/07/2356-donald-trump.html">President Trump</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> set up a <a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/01/26/trump-fake-science-lethal-autism-vaccines-epa-column/97050152/">meeting between prominent anti-vaxxer Robert F.

Prior to that, in 2017, Bigtree and a couple of other antivaccine nutters met with Jason Chaffetz to discuss their proposals <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/06/22/antivaxers-go-to-washington-to-persuade-rep-jason-chaffetz-to-investigate-the-cdc">for instance that</a></span><a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/06/22/antivaxers-go-to-washington-to-persuade-rep-jason-chaffetz-to-investigate-the-cdc"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “<i>the power to police vaccine safety is taken away from the CDC</i>” and rather given to “vaccine safety advocates” like themselves, and to repeal the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which antivaxxers (and especially their lawyers) hate. He is also involved in many antivaccine activist efforts to <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/12/13/s2173-nj-antivaxxers-go-to-wrong-room/">disrupt committee meetings</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/02/28/antivaxers-inundate-the-advisory-committee-on-immunization-practices/">on immunization policies</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and inundate participating politicians and scientists with inane questions and talking points.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And yes: He is tireless. <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/10/28/nobody-promotes-antivaccine-nonsense-in-my-statewithout-receiving-some-insolence-2016-election-edition">Here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, for instance, is a roundup of his 2016 efforts to talk to state legislators in Michigan – he seems to have been most successful, not surprisingly, with certified conspiracy theorist, wingnut and antivaxxer Tom Hooker. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ICAN</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Bigtree is the founder and CEO of the <i>Informed Consent Action Network</i> (ICAN), an anti-vaccine advocacy group that currently functions as <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/03/24/icans-disingenuous-legalistic-war-on-state-departments-of-health/">the legal and propaganda arm of his antivaccine empire</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, and which is very much <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Health_freedom">focused on <i>consent</i></a></span><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Health_freedom"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and equally much <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/07/20/the-nuremberg-code-gambit/">opposed to <i>informed</i></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. The group putatively supports science-based inquiry, but only to the extents that such inquiry yields the results they have already decided should be the results. ICAN hosts a weekly video broadcast of misinformation called <i>The Highwire</i>, which apparently garners tens of thousands of views (<a href="https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/james-lyons-weiler-coronavirus-conspiracy-vaccine/">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is an example of their work). HighWire’s Facebook page also promotes Bigtree’s media appearances on <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/InfoWars">Infowars</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The main goal for ICAN is, as <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-vaxxer-del-bigtree-got-his-start-on-the-tv-show-the-doctors">Bigtree puts it</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, to find out <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory#What_THEY_don.27t_want_you_to_know">what the government is hiding</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> from the American consumer. From 2016 to 2017, they spent more than $670,000 on legal fees associated with Freedom of Information Act lawsuits <a href="https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/freedom-bully">intended primarily to harass</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> scientists and people working for government institutions. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According to themselves, they scored a major hit in 2018 by forcing the government to submit to a FOIA that, according to Bigtree, revealed that the Department of Health and Human Services had failed to comply with a 1986 law mandating it meet with Congress every two years to brief them on vaccine safety. Apparently that shows that vaccines are somehow bunk and that the HHS, since they failed to immediately find the reports, had skirted the law for 30 years. Reality, of course, resists Bigtree’s spin. First, the reports were actually required within two years of the law’s implementation, not every two years, as Bigtree believed, and they were indeed procured and are indeed public (<a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5835885-Report-1.html">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5835886-Report-2.html">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> if you wish). That, really, was all of it. No seriously. And they spun it for years. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But then, spinning <i>nothing</i> to make it look like victories is the core of ICAN’s game. In 2021, ICAN claimed that “<i>The CDC Finally Capitulated To ICAN’s Legal Demands and Removed the Claim that ‘Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism’ From Its Website!</i>”. And <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/27/ican-and-del-bigtrees-victory-against-the-cdc-a-huge-nothingburger/">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is what really happened (hint, the CDC absolutely did not at all remove <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23545349/">the accurate piece of information</a> that</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> vaccines do not cause autism from their website, despite <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/03/10/del-bigtree-wastes-the-cdcs-time-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-with-an-abusive-foia-lawsuit/">ICAN’s idiotic attempt to waste the CDC’s time</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> – they changed one headline … and then they apparently changed it back a few hours later, possibly because they were tired of the utterly idiotic spins by crackpot organizations like ICAN; <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is the page in question.) <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/05/13/del-bigtree-ican-questions/">Here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is a discussion of ICAN’s 2019 attempt to show a FDA coverup of problems with vaccines prior to licensing. Bigtree has to lie through his teeth to make his claim, but make it he does.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another main goal of ICAN is to promote non-medical vaccine exemptions in public schools and various forms of vaccine hysteria, including the <a href="http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/yes-autism-rate-rising-vaccines-caused-vaccines/">thoroughly falsified notion</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> that vaccines have a causative role in autism (currently, it’s usually the “<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anti-vaccination_movement#Aluminum"><i>aluminum adjuvants</i></a>”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> – even for hardcore antivaxxers <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Thiomersal"><i>mercury</i></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> doesn’t really work as a scapegoat any more; Bigtree <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/05/13/del-bigtree-and-polly-tommy-just-as-antivaccine-as-andrew-wakefield">doesn’t seem to <i>quite</i> have managed to let it go</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, though). According to Bigtree, campaigning against school mandates is important because “<i>School is all about the development of their brain, the development of their mind. That’s what school is for. And you look at one of the major side effects of these vaccines is destruction of the brain, destruction of the mind. So yes, you’ve got your child in school, but they’re not thriving there because you’ve injured their brain with a vaccine</i>.” But he doesn’t like to be called “anti-vaccine”, cause that looks bad. He does emphasize that antivaccine advocates must take the high road, though, and rather ambush lawmakers and stalk them when they don’t want to talk to you. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Indeed, much of ICAN’s efforts go into attempts to <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/03/20/harassment-doctors-grieving-mother/">harass doctors and others who speak out in favor of vaccines</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, including parents who have lost their children for various reasons (antivaxxers tend to blame such tragedies, regardless of their nature, on vaccines, and thus use them to blame the parents for vaccinating their children, like <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/19/health/anti-vax-harassment-eprise/index.html">this</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">). </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ICAN is largely financially supported by Bernard and Lisa Selz through their Selz Foundation, which by 2019 had <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/meet-the-new-york-couple-donating-millions-to-the-anti-vax-movement/2019/06/18/9d791bcc-8e28-11e9-b08e-cfd89bd36d4e_story.html">donated more than $3 million to anti-vaxx causes</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, in addition to $200 000 to Andrew Wakefield's legal defense.

He also threatened the HHS with a civil suit if they didn’t comply with his nonsensical and conspiracy-theory-fueled demands. Though Dr. Melinda Wharton, the director of the National Vaccine Program Office, responded with <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Or65lanlqmZ94C_z8v36dGcRAONVyfls/view">a rather good slapdown</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, it is disconcerting to see that Bigtree is taken seriously enough to be judged worth responding to.

Not content with the reply, partially because it cited facts he does not like because they don’t fit the narrative he wants to tell, Bigtree wrote a follow-up. It’s just as ridiculous, and discussed <a href="https://vaccinesworkblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/27/del-bigtree-is-stubborn/">here</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Persecution complex</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Like many denialists and conspiracy theorists, Bigtree enjoys a vast martyr- and <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Persecution_complex">persecution complex</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. For <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/10/28/nobody-promotes-antivaccine-nonsense-in-my-statewithout-receiving-some-insolence-2016-election-edition">there is a vast conspiracy out there</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">: the “<i>pharmaceutical industry is coming after you</i>”, says Bigtree, and unless antivaxxers unite and speak up, <a href="https://vaxopedia.org/2019/02/21/del-bigtree-on-the-governments-plan-to-force-inject-stuff-into-your-body/">they will get the right to “<i>forced vaccination</i>”</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> of every US adult.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For instance, he complained about <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/03/29/tribeca-film-festival-wrap-up-andrew-wakefields-brilliance-and-spies-and-nazis-oh-my">being “<i>99% censored</i>” by ABC World News Tonight</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> when they failed to show the <i>entirety</i> of their interview with him. The reason is presumably because, <a href="https://www.medicaldaily.com/vaxxed-andrew-wakefield-anti-vaccination-380555">according to Bigtree</a></span><a href="https://www.medicaldaily.com/vaxxed-andrew-wakefield-anti-vaccination-380555"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and no shred of evidence whatsoever, “<i>all of television</i>” has been bought out by the pharmaceutical industry. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And of course, people who criticize him – like most people who are aware of and care about facts and evidence here – are just like Nazis. In March 2019, after a speech on the alleged dangers of government mandated vaccines, Bigtree brandished the Star of David because requiring vaccines in public schools is exactly like putting you in death camps because of what ethnic group you belong to. After being condemned by groups that for very good reasons <a href="https://www.adl.org/blog/anti-vaccine-protesters-misappropriate-holocaust-era-symbol-to-promote-their-cause">found the comparison tasteless</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-vaxxer-del-bigtree-got-his-start-on-the-tv-show-the-doctors">he refused to apologize</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, saying that “<i>honestly, I was doing what I thought I was raised to do, which was stand up for minorities</i>” – how comparing genocide to <i>his own wish</i> not to be vaccinated is a matter of standing up for minorities is … unclear, and that he thinks it is, is telling.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Antivaxxers in general <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article17814440.html">can’t seem to be able</a> to</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> refrain from <a href="https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/04/09/the-annals-of-im-not-antivaccine-part-15-robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-the-vaccine-associated-holocaust/">employing</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <a href="https://thepoxesblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/to-the-vermont-coalition-for-vaccine-choice-vaccine-requirements-are-exactly-like-the-holocaust/">that rhetorical tool</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, no matter how idiotic and tasteless it is (and how appropriately lunatic it makes them look). Apparently the issue that merits the comparison is governments somehow taking away “<i>choice</i>”, “<i>privacy</i>” and “<i>control</i>” over bodies; like most antivaxxers Bigtree’s extreme narcissism renders him unable to distinguish between the choices he makes for himself and the choices he imposes on others (like children). In <a href="https://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2016/07/19/del-bigtree-crosses-the-line-tells-vaxxed-audience-nows-the-time-for-guns/">his own words</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“<i>…but now we’re watching the most powerful lobby in the country and in the world poisoning our children.

By contrast, he <a href="https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/del-bigtree-anti-vaccine-founding-fathers/">has likened himself to the Founding Fathers</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, leading the charge against the tyranny of mandatory vaccinations.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">COVID</span></i></b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></i></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Bigtree has consistently and repeatedly <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-deaths-4-comorbidities/">spread COVID misinformation</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and fear-mongering about the coronavirus vaccine. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He has, for instance, been a central proponent (with <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola">Joe Mercola</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">) of the <a href="https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/no-covid-19-casedemic/">the myth of the “<i>casedemic</i>”</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, according to which the massive increase in COVID-19 cases being reported in 2020 was an artifact of increased PCR testing and false positives.

(Bigtree has been admirably forthright about the sentiment, explicitly <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7648494/">arguing that</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> we should just use natural selection like caribou: the “<i>sick get eaten by the wolves.

He was also an early proponent of the idea that there’s a “<i>global agenda</i>” motivated by money and led by Dr. Fauci to force a vaccines on everyone in the world. Early in the pandemic, Bigtree also claimed that scientists’ concern about specific viruses is irrational because there are millions of viruses and bacteria, and declared the attempt to find vaccines “<i>stupid</i>”. No, he doesn’t understand – or at least his intended target audience doesn’t understand – how any of this works.
