It's complicated. A lot of studies are poorly designed, have confounds, lack appropriate statistical power, or are flawed for other reasons. Scientific research is heavily flawed, in large part because of the need for money to carry out research and in many cases the desire to make money. But at the same time, we've amassed a lot of knowledge. Vaccines, for instance, are really quite amazing at what they do for us and of course they wouldn't have been invented without prior research into how our immune systems work. Medicine is constantly evolving. We continually learn new things and sometimes have to reevaluate what we thought we once knew.
