    The was quite literally the playbook of Andrew Wakefield when he published the 1998 fraudulent paper in the Lancet that purported to link MMR vaccines to autism, kicking off our entire modern round of anti-vax nonsense.

    He stood to make millions selling test kits to people suddenly fearful of vaccination, IIRC. They’re all scum, seeking to rake in money on the very fears they’ve stoked.
