It is no surprise anymore when anti-vaccine influencers tell lies about vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases.
It is a little surprising that they would do it at an anti-vaccine conference titled ‘Confronting Misinformation, Disinformation, and Seeking the Truth,’ though.
After all, they are the ones creating all the misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda about vaccines!
That Time Del Bigtree Spoke About Confronting Misinformation and Seeking the Truth...
And of course, that’s what we saw from Del Bigtree’s speech at the conference.
In the middle of the worst measles outbreaks in 35 years, in which eight people have died since January 2025, he tries to scare people away from getting vaccinated by saying that:
natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity, leaving out the part about having to survive having measles to earn that natural immunity
vaccinated people might have measles or might have to get vaccinated four to six times, when in fact, two doses of the MMR vaccine provides life-long immunity for almost all people
vaccinated, asymptomatic carriers are spreading measles, when this isn’t even a thing
the vaccine strain of measles is causing outbreaks - it isn’t
And he fails to mention that you can’t make a real choice about getting vaccinated when you are getting influenced by this kind of anti-vaccine propaganda.
How can you make a real choice?
Become a real skeptic and stop listening to these kinds of anti-vaccine influencers.
