A group of lawyers in Great Britain hired a doctor (Dr. Andrew Wakefield) to publish a paper in 1998 which appeared to link vaccines with autism. The lawyers wanted to use the study to sue vaccine manufacturers on behalf of children with autism. The study was dismissed as rubbish by every other health care professional who reviewed it. Wakefield was later stripped of his license to practice medicine due to the actions he allegedly took to make the paper appear credible, such as falsifying patient records. Despite the fact that numerous other studies were undertaken in response which found NO LINK between vaccines and autism, and could not reproduce Wakefield's findings, common and preventable childhood diseases (such as measles) began rising after the paper was published, and are still far higher than before the paper due to parents not vaccinating their children.

Note: Some of the above information, namely Mr. Wakefield's motives and actions) is *alleged* by various members of the government and medical communities, and may change as time goes on. The situation is ongoing.

What is the ethos of a conspiracy theory?

The ethos of a conspiracy theory is often rooted in skepticism towards official narratives or mainstream explanations. It may involve a deep suspicion of powerful institutions, a belief in hidden motives or agendas, and a sense of uncovering "the truth" that is being concealed from the public. This ethos can sometimes lead to a mindset of mistrust and a tendency to interpret events in a way that supports the conspiracy theory narrative.
