Vaccine Skepticism in U.S. Is Widespread, Politico Poll Reveals

Nearly half of U.S. adults think the science on vaccines remains up for debate and that vaccine mandates are damaging, while only 39% think that the science on vaccines is clear and it is damaging to challenge it, according to a Politico poll conducted last month. “It is clearly no longer a fringe idea to question what we are being told by the mainstream sources we have long been told were the ‘sources of truth,’” Dr. Pierre Kory told The Defender.

Del breaks down a major shift in vaccine policy after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rewrote the ACIP charter following recommendations submitted by ICAN’s legal team.

ACIP OVERHAUL: RFK JR. AMENDS VACCINE ADVISORY CHARTER

The battle over America’s public health future is intensifying. Jeffrey reports that Dr. Erica Schwartz, former Deputy Surgeon General during Trump’s first term, is now the White House frontrunner to lead the CDC. Her record includes crafting mandatory vaccination policies and coordinating the seriously flawed federal COVID response, prompting serious questions about whether this pick represents the institutional reset many had hoped for.

Across the Atlantic, the UK’s independent COVID Inquiry formally acknowledged that COVID vaccines caused serious injury and death in some recipients, calling for urgent reform of the nation’s vaccine damage compensation scheme. A striking admission in the report: the compensation program was so poorly publicized that many injured people never knew it existed, a pattern that will feel familiar to anyone who has followed the US Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

A new Politico/Public First poll of nearly 4,000 Americans finds that more people now doubt vaccine safety than trust it, with a plurality supporting fewer vaccines and prioritizing bodily autonomy over mandates. Jefferey argues this reflects a long-building shift in public sentiment that Washington has been slow to acknowledge.

The week’s biggest development may be the ACIP charter overhaul. After a judge blocked RFK Jr.’s restructured committee, ICAN urged Kennedy to amend the charter before the April 1st deadline, and he delivered. The updated charter now mandates expertise in toxicology, pediatric neurodevelopment, and recovery from vaccine injuries, while adding non-pharma-funded organizations to balance industry influence.

Bad-Vaxx Video Game Tries to Inoculate Kids Against Vaccine Misinformation

A video game billed as a vaccine against disinformation is drawing questionable criticism from special interest who say the game is unconvincing and unethical because it trains children to accept a narrative instead of developing critical thinking skills. Packaging potentially harmful information in a game format can easily be used as a form of subliminal manipulation and censorship, said Alex Pattakos, contributing writer to Psychology Today. Authors of the game say the opposite is true. ( it is obvious that what is important is the accuracy of information they see. They have been subjected throughout their life to continuous disinformation.)

PEOPLE VS. POISON: ACTIVISTS MOBILIZE AGAINST PESTICIDE IMMUNITY

Food activist Vani Hari (Food Babe) joins Del Bigtree to discuss the growing national fight over glyphosate and the push to shield pesticide manufacturers from liability. With more than 170,000 cancer lawsuits already filed against Bayer/Monsanto over Roundup exposure, Hari is organizing a major rally at the U.S. Supreme Court called ‘The People vs. Poison,’ taking place April 27 in Washington, D.C.

Hari explains why activists, farmers, scientists, and health advocates from across the political spectrum are joining forces to oppose legislative efforts that could grant pesticide companies immunity from future lawsuits. Toxicologist Alexandra Muñoz also weighs in, outlining scientific evidence linking glyphosate exposure to DNA damage and cancer.

Then Del sits down in-studio with classical homeopath Gabrielle Traub during World Homeopathy Awareness Week to discuss the documentary Introducing Homeopathy and the science and research behind this centuries-old system of medicine.

FROM PESTICIDES TO PILLS: COULD HOMEOPATHY BE THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE?

It’s World Homeopathy Awareness Week, and Del Bigtree sits down with classical homeopath and founder of the global initiative, Gabrielle Traub, to examine one of the most debated healing systems in modern medicine. Traub explains the foundational principle of homeopathy, like cures like (similia similibus curantur ), and how the system developed more than two centuries ago continues to guide practitioners today.

Del and Gabrielle discuss homeopathy’s growing use in children’s health, fertility, mental and emotional wellness, pain management, and even agriculture, where homeopathic preparations are being studied as potential alternatives to toxic pesticides. Traub also discusses the historical battle between homeopathy and organized medicine, current regulatory pressure on homeopathic products in the United States, the study Americans for Homeopathy Choice Act (HR 750), and her documentary Introducing Homeopathy.

Jefferey Jaxen covers a Politico vaccine safety poll and measles vaccine effectiveness data.

MMR VACCINE WANING IMMUNITY: ARE VACCINATED KIDS SPREADING MEASLES WITHOUT KNOWING IT?

Every measles headline follows the same script, cases spike, anchors alarm, and the solution is always more vaccines. Jefferey cuts through the noise to ask the questions corporate media won’t. The original goal of the measles vaccine program wasn’t just individual protection, it was global eradication. Decades later, measles continues circulating in predictable cycles, and blaming a handful of unvaccinated children ignores a far more complicated scientific reality that the public health establishment has little incentive to acknowledge.

The science on vaccine-induced immunity tells a more nuanced story than the “97% effective” soundbite. A peer-reviewed study tracking children’s antibody levels after two MMR doses found that within a few years, 25–50% of vaccinated children drop into a medium-to-low antibody range, making them susceptible to subclinical infection and capable of transmitting measles without symptoms. Jefferey draws a direct parallel to the COVID vaccine efficacy debate: high initial protection, followed by significant waning that public health messaging never adequately addressed.

This raises a question Jefferey argues officials are actively avoiding: if vaccinated individuals can be asymptomatic carriers, why aren’t community-wide antibody tests being conducted during outbreaks? Instead, focus stays on unvaccinated individuals — who, when symptomatic, are visibly sick and kept home, while generating lifelong natural immunity. Jefferey calls on federal health officials to publicly release antibody testing data during outbreaks to get an honest picture of what’s actually driving transmission.

The peer-reviewed literature is hard to ignore. Studies on measles reemergence in developed countries found that 2–10% of two-dose recipients never develop protective antibody levels. During the 1989–1991 US outbreak, 20–40% of cases had been previously vaccinated. In a 2011 Canadian outbreak, 52% of cases had received two doses. Jaxen also flags the political dimension, South Carolina recently tried to eliminate religious vaccine exemptions during a local outbreak, a bill killed only after parents flooded the statehouse.

Jefferey Jaxen covers environmental chemical exposure risks, and new research raising concerns about erythritol and ultra-processed foods.

THE TOXIC TRUTH ABOUT ERYTHRITOL, PFAS & ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD

A wave of new science is exposing what for decades was dismissed as background noise and Jefferey is connecting the dots. A new study on erythritol, the zero-calorie fermented sugar alcohol found in keto products and sports drinks, finds it crosses the blood-brain barrier and disrupts the brain’s vascular function in ways that may increase stroke risk. It entered the food supply under the FDA’s broadly permissive “Generally Recognized as Safe” designation, meaning it was never rigorously reviewed. For now, Jaxen’s advice is simple: read your labels.

Harder to avoid are forever chemicals, and new research is raising urgent concerns about their impact on developing babies. A study on PFDA, a common PFAS compound, finds it may disrupt the liver enzyme CYP26, which regulates vitamin A levels in pregnant women. That disruption, researchers warn, could interfere with a critical signaling pathway for fetal development, potentially contributing to craniofacial birth defects like cleft palate and craniosynostosis, which already account for roughly a third of all congenital birth defects worldwide. Scientists are calling this a significant mechanistic finding.

On the food side, a major new study finds that every 10% increase in ultra-processed food calories during pregnancy is linked to an 11% higher risk of preterm birth and a 5% higher risk of preeclampsia, two of the leading causes of maternal and newborn death in the US. The kicker: the old USDA food pyramid was actively steering Americans toward these same foods for decades, a problem compounded by the fact that RFK Jr. inherited a 453-page food directive largely written by food industry lobbyists when he took office.

Jeferrey ties these findings to the broader MAHA Initiative, noting that the Trump administration directed HHS to examine environmental toxins, particularly their effects on pregnant women and children, from day one. He argues that the political resistance Kennedy faces in doing this work stands in stark contrast to the silence of previous administrations, which approved forever chemicals, bisphenols, fluoride, and artificial dyes without serious scrutiny. Practical takeaways from the segment: filter your drinking water, ditch nonstick cookware, and check ingredient labels for erythritol.

Are CT Scans the Big Hidden Cancer Risk No One Warned You About?

 

CT scans are projected to cause about 103,000 future cancer cases from just one year’s worth of imaging; the scans expose patients to ionizing radiation that damages DNA and increases cancer risk.

Abdomen and pelvis CT scans pose the highest risk, contributing to 5% of all cancer diagnoses, which is comparable to risks from obesity and alcohol consumption.

Children face greater vulnerability to radiation damage, while radiation effects accumulate over time with each scan, often taking four to 11 years before related cancers develop.

Historical evidence suggests radiation safety standards were manipulated to favor industry interests; further, some imaging centers expose patients to 50 times more radiation than others with little regulation.

Patients can protect themselves by asking if scans will change treatment plans, requesting MRI or ultrasound alternatives, and documenting radiation exposure when CT is necessary.
