Dr Ignaz Semmelweis discovered washing your hands before helping deliver a baby reduced sepsis in mothers. He was ridiculed by the "experts" for such a stance. Turns out he was right. His story is also a good argument against the "but muh science is settled!" buffoons.

Finished in an asylum. Pretty much tje establishments conspired against him because the truth was that doctors were responsible for lots of women dying.

Maybe not strictly authoritarianizm, but going against the "majority" has always been career suicide for doctors. If they can't freely share their ideas, the outcome is no different from authoritarianism.
