Day one of this week’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting revealed a stunning shift in the hepatitis B debate. For the first time, panel experts openly acknowledged they do not have the data to justify giving every newborn a hepatitis B shot on their first day of life. Hear how this new advisory group challenged inflated risk assumptions, admitted the evidence for newborn safety is surprisingly weak, and questioned why infants are expected to bear the burden for failures in adult screening and prevention. This pivotal exchange is reshaping the national conversation around vaccine policy—and the science that must support it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

A new wave of headlines claim the HPV vaccine “prevents cancer,” but a Cochrane Collaboration review behind those headlines never actually studied cancer outcomes. Jefferey exposes what the review really admits, the pharma-funded conflicts buried in the fine print, and the true natural history of HPV—revealing how clever marketing was spun into so-called “proof.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Pediatrician Dr. Bob Sears joins Del to unpack ACIP’s hepatitis B vaccine debate, the near-total absence of long-term safety data for newborn vaccination, and why the U.S. is an outlier in giving this shot on day one of life. He discusses the Physicians for Informed Consent’s new Silver Book “Vaccines and the Diseases They Target”, designed to give doctors and parents clear, side-by-side numbers on disease risk and vaccine risk so real informed consent can finally happen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Jefferey unpacks a leaked FDA memo written by Dr. Vinay Prasad, head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics and Research, which revealed at least 10 child deaths linked by internal analysts to the Covid vaccine, an admission the agency has never made publicly. He exposes how career scientists quietly raised alarms, how corporate media scrambled to distort the story, and why this marks a turning point in government transparency on vaccine safety.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Episode 453: EXPOSING THE MOTIVEToday on The HighWire, Del reveals why the CDC quietly changed its vaccines-autism page — now stating the claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based. Jefferey Jaxen covers the FDA’s bombshell disclosure that the COVID shot has killed at least 10 children, Europe’s rejection of Bovaer cow feed, and why flaws in a new Cochrane HPV study undermine claims it prevents cervical cancer. Then, Carrie Bigford (Texans for Vaccine Choice) shares tools she developed to help advocates confidently navigate vaccine discussions.

Russell Brand joins Del in the studio for a raw, wide-ranging and often hilarious conversation on modern authoritarianism, propaganda, and faith. Russell breaks down how today’s soft totalitarianism hides behind bureaucracy, false compassion, and entertainment—turning culture into a tool of control. They dig into Hollywood’s quiet push toward collectivism, the misuse of “Christian values” during COVID, and why real compassion demands individual sovereignty under God, not blind faith in institutions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Aaron Siri, an attorney and lead counsel for the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), joins the discussion about the CDC's recent reversal on the claim that vaccines do not cause autism.
