In a recent article for the Free Now Foundation, historian Levi Quackenboss examines Del Bigtree’s role in exposing what he calls the “Emperor’s Old Clothes” of modern health policy. The piece critiques mainstream narratives surrounding public health regulations and highlights Bigtree’s efforts to challenge policies that restrict medical freedom. Quackenboss draws historical parallels between past societal blind spots and current debates on vaccine mandates, pharmaceutical influence, and bodily autonomy. The article presents Bigtree as a key figure in the MAHA movement, advocating for transparency and personal choice in health decisions (Quackenboss, 2025).
Quackenboss also discusses the broader cultural and political shifts that have fueled growing skepticism toward institutional health authorities. Citing historical examples, the article suggests that public trust in these institutions has eroded due to conflicting information and censorship of dissenting voices. By framing Bigtree’s work within this historical context, the piece positions him as a modern-day whistleblower, pushing back against what he sees as an overreach of regulatory power. As MAHA gains momentum, figures like Bigtree continue to play a significant role in reshaping the conversation around health freedom and informed consent (Quackenboss, 2025).
