    Even the nineties and beyond, if you think of the vaccine-causing-autism to-do and mad cow disease.

        https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2323045/ “Wakefield admits fabricating events when he took children’s blood samples”

        I suppose I wasn’t clear, but I was referring to the fella who first came out and said the MMR vaccine was linked to autism, which was fraudulent of course and there’s a good documentary about it, but I mentioned it specifically because he was taking children’s blood unethically. Mad cow disease is less relevant but it’s more broadly an example of unethical treatment leading to an epidemic.
