    There must be (or ought to be) a term for this type of conspiracy that requires practically all experienced professionals in a given field to be complicit.

    You could convince me that one or even a group of researchers were acting with nefarious intent, but everyone? It’s just an absurdity.

      It’s pretty much the definition of the “grand conspiracy theory”. It requires the combined effort of thousands of people across hundreds of countries. It’s insanity.

        Very much like a Protocols of the Elders of Zion theme, but with educated scientists rather than jews

      It’s just a repeat of that AIDS conspiracy group that rejected evidence on HIV and made their own “science” mag which folded when everyone died of AIDS
