Vaccine Court
Vaccinations continue to spark political debate, and Jon Wertheim investigates the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, often referred to as a “no-fault” vaccine court. Established in the 1980s, the program was designed to address rare cases of vaccine-related harm while maintaining the broader benefits of widespread immunization. Over the years, it has awarded billions of dollars to thousands of Americans affected by adverse reactions. Wertheim’s report examines the delicate balance between public health priorities and individual claims, offering insight into a system that operates largely behind the scenes. Denise Schrier Cetta produces this segment.
The Tequila Heist
Sharyn Alfonsi reports on a growing threat in global commerce: sophisticated cargo theft targeting international supply chains. One striking example involves the disappearance of 24,000 bottles of Guy Fieri’s tequila en route to a warehouse. Alfonsi explores how organized crime groups exploit technology and logistics networks to steal hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods each year. The report sheds light on the security challenges faced by retailers, distributors, and consumers alike. Lucy Hatcher produces this investigative segment.
This Is Rob Reiner
Four decades after the release of the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap, correspondent Lesley Stahl visits director Rob Reiner on the set of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues in New Orleans. The sequel marks a return to the improvisational mockumentary style that Reiner helped pioneer, decades after shaping Hollywood with hits like When Harry Met Sally, Stand by Me, A Few Good Men, and The Princess Bride. Stahl’s report provides an inside look at the reunion of the legendary band and the enduring influence of Reiner’s work. Shari Finkelstein produces this feature.
Sunday night’s episode promises a diverse mix of compelling stories, from public health and international crime to a cinematic celebration of a Hollywood icon.
