There come times when new ideas challenge well established norms and are proven correct but any such ideas/theories are thoroughly vetted to prove accuracy/truth. Generally speaking any finding that challenges established norms is not accepted until findings have been reproduced repeatedly by others following the same methodology.

This is where Dr (former, licensure revoked) Andrew Wakefield’s publication in the Lancet journal regarding Thimerosal and Autism link fell flat on its face. Nobody could reproduce it and it wasn’t until years later that it came to light that his research was frankly fraudulent.

Unfortunately, by then the damage was done.

Thanks for bringing up Dr. Wakefield! I also dug deep on him, but I looked at his side of the story also not just the pharma side of it. Here is a great interview with him recently where he explains exactly what happened to him and why. Just incase you want to be less bias.
