You know the β€œvaccines cause autism” meme? The actual story there is:

> late 1990s

> absolute cunt Andrew Wakefield works for a company that’s researching an MMR vaccine

> he says, fuck it, why not whack some competition, writes a paper that says the other MMR guys’ vaccine is linked to higher autism rates

> The Lancet are the only morons willing to accept some kind of payoff for publishing his hot shit

On the plus side, Wakefield lost his medical license after all that got made public. On the down side, you have Karens who think that paper and random .wordpress.blogspot.com blogs are more authoritative than the entire rest of science
