Peer review is an important aspect of scientific research and publication. It does ensure that quack-pot things don’t find themselves in main stream journals without scrutiny or challenge as publication in reputable journals carries the weight of trust.
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. https://rumble.com/v1g8e3f-steve-kir...june-2022.html | |||

Are you aware of what a conflict of interest is? Dr (former, licensure revoked) Wakefield stood to make 10s to 100s of millions of dollars/pounds on the back of his flawed study that was later deemed to not just be inaccurate … but frankly fraudulent. It’s a huge part of why the medical board (not “big pharma”) had his license revoked. https://briandeer.com/wakefield/vaccine-patent.htm

Peer review cant be trusted anymore because science journalism is for profit.
