This GoldCare Medical Townhall, brings together Dr. Simone Gold, Del Bigtree, and Dr. David Weldon for a powerful discussion on the resurgence of measles, the media-driven fear surrounding it, and the deeper conflicts of interest shaping public health narratives. From overlooked data on vaccine effectiveness to the politicization of outbreaks, this class challenges conventional thinking and equips viewers with the critical insights needed to make informed health decisions in a system increasingly driven by profit and propaganda.
Read about this class:
In a time when media headlines spark fear and misinformation spreads faster than facts, GoldCare’s Medical Townhall pulled back the curtain on the recent measles hysteria. Moderated by Dr. Simone Gold, this urgent conversation featured two powerful voices in the medical freedom movement: Del Bigtree—host of The HighWire and founder of the Informed Consent Action Network—and Dr. David Weldon, a practicing physician, former U.S. Congressman, and recent nominee for CDC Director. Together, they tackled the question on everyone’s mind: Is the public being manipulated—again?
Dr. Gold opened with the basics: Measles is a viral illness that causes fever, runny nose, cough, and a rash. It’s very contagious, but for the vast majority of cases, it resolves without serious issues. Before vaccines, nearly everyone had it by age 15—and walked away with lifetime immunity. Serious complications, while possible, are rare.
But here’s what’s not in the headlines: Measles-related deaths had already plummeted by 98% before the vaccine was introduced in 1963. Why was that key fact excluded from medical school lectures? Why are only certain graphs shown to physicians and the public?
The recent measles cases in Texas were the focus of the media storm—especially since they occurred in unvaccinated children. But the real story? One child likely died of improperly treated bacterial pneumonia, not measles itself. Another case remains unclear. What’s troubling isn’t just the tragedy—it’s the blame game.
Instead of asking the right questions—like whether doctors are out of practice treating basic viral illnesses or whether we’re seeing a more virulent strain—legacy media pushes a single narrative: Fear the unvaccinated.
Dr. Weldon, who still recommends the measles vaccine but supports delayed scheduling, called for something long overdue: real research. Most childhood vaccines, including MMR, have never been tested using the gold standard—double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. That’s not science; it’s faith in a system that’s shielded from liability by federal law.
Del Bigtree, who doesn’t vaccinate his children, pointed to another concern: the growing chronic illness rates in children. Back in the 1980s, kids got about 10 vaccines and had a 12% chronic illness rate. Today, with over 70 vaccines on the schedule, that number has skyrocketed to 60%. Something isn’t right—and no one in power seems eager to ask why.
Both guests exposed the deep connections between big pharma, legacy media, and public health policy. Pharmaceutical ads make up the majority of commercial airtime on major networks. The result? Newsrooms afraid to air stories that challenge pharma interests. Medical schools funded by drug companies. Doctors punished for asking questions.
Dr. Gold emphasized: “We were not taught what we should’ve been taught. GoldCare exists to fix that.”
GoldCare’s model is built for this. Members get access to both allopathic and naturopathic doctors, uncensored research, and a platform that encourages real conversation—not control.
This isn’t just about measles.
It’s about trust lost in a system that silences dissent. It’s about patients dismissed for asking questions. It’s about doctors losing their positions for challenging official narratives.
It’s about restoring the most basic right of all: the right to make informed medical decisions without coercion.
Dr. Gold created GoldCare because too many people were left feeling confused, afraid, and powerless during COVID. This townhall shows what GoldCare is really about—open dialogue, unfiltered facts, and the return of medical autonomy.
As Dr. Gold said: “Sometimes you need a doctor. Sometimes you just need the right information.”
Join the platform where information is uncensored, freedom is respected, and patients come first.
