It has been nearly one year and HighWire media has etched itself into the upper echelon of health media organizations. Spanning 38 episodes, HighWire media with its host Del Bigtree have provided a weekly platform to expose the facts underpinning our fragmented modern global health paradigm.
HighWire is complemented by the nonprofit arm Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN). ICAN has been active on several fronts investigating the safety of medical procedures, pharmaceutical drugs, and vaccines while advocating for people’s right to "informed consent.” ICAN is actively pursuing several avenues to improve the health and wellbeing of our population by exposing the multitude of underreported and often unacknowledged shortcomings with the US vaccine program.
As 2017 came to a close, Del Bigtree and the HighWire media team took a moment to look back on some of their most important viral videos from the past year which have helped move the conversation around health, disease, and inadequacies surrounding modern medicine forward.
Coming in at number five The Cathedral of Vaccine Science video used children’s building blocks as a visual representation of the flimsy foundation current vaccine science is built upon.

Coming in at number four is a video exposing the recent, damning admissions that flu shots were found to be responsible for over a seven-fold increase in miscarriages in a recent study.

The next video exposed the overly simplistic, corporate media-created label 'anti-vaxxer' to be nothing more than a cleaver attempt to control a complex, unraveling narrative. Bigtree correctly unpacked the 'anti-vaxxer' classification by stating in HighWire's recent episode the following:
"I think we're all getting tired of this moniker anti-vaxxer. It's not even accurate. It doesn't take in any of the nuance of this discussion. There are so many different levels of people on it. There are true anti-vaxxers that believe vaccines should be eradicated from the planet. There are also people that simply want to have a choice on what vaccines they use. There are others that want to spread them out. There are those that are ex-vaxxers that totally believed in the system and the system failed them. You cannot group all of us together and call us anti-vaxxers. That's what you do when you're trying to brainwash America. That's what media does. That's what ad departments do. They try to say "Lets make this argument as simple as we can so we can win and and fit it on a bumper sticker." Truth doesn't fit on bumper stickers."

The forced myth of herd immunity was deconstructed...using toy army men. Herd immunity is still being pushed by corporate media and establishment medicine as scientific reasoning to get vaccinated. However, the idea of herd immunity does not stand up to deeper analysis when facts come into play. Coming in at number two is the viral HighWire video exposing herd immunity.

Bill Nye has made a name for himself by pushing science that is heavily funded and cherry-picked by corporate interests. Nye's one-sided debates and biased views are carefully sculpted to appear as official science. His facts on vaccine science and GMO's are limited hangouts allowing skewed corporate talking points to take center stage. Coming in at number one with nearly 16 million views, Bigtree took Nye to the cleaners in the viral video pointing out how unscientific the vaccine industry really is.
