Just imagine what happens when you are a bright eyed assistant professor newish to study section (and a Latina nonetheless) that tries to give a 7 because you were told to start at a 5....and the SRO said to "spread the scores" and bunching everyone on the top 3 does not seem like much spreading.

You would think that Wakefield would have fallen in disgrace. But that is not how the story ends. He moved to the US, he is now wealthy. He made that wealth by continuing to spread the MMR vaccine and autism lies. He is good friends with the current HHS secretary.

No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of autism: a total population study - PubMed
