Honestly if you're going to take away anything it's this.
These aren't ethical people and they were upheld by people who didn't really care that they weren't ethical. And that's damning for journalism

The more Lizza writes the more he indicts himself in serious ethical lapses but there are a lot of editors and publishers who are complicit here, too.
The whole thing is just gross.

He's not "challenging scientific orthodoxy." He's destroying public health and health care in general.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
