His frequent public speaking engagements and an influx of funding in 2017 have made Bigtree, who has no medical training, one of the most prominent voices in the anti-vaccination movement.[4][5][6][7][8]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bigtree propagated conspiracy theories about the origin of the virus and COVID vaccines, and urged his audience to ignore the advice of health authorities.[9][10][11][12] He is currently serving as communications director for Robert F.
