When it comes to false claims about vaccines and autism, it was never really about the wellbeing of the population and whether vaccines were safe - fundamentally, it was about whether the alternative could be profitable to the people promoting nonsense:
As it happened, the whole false MMR and autism claims came about in part because people with an undeclared conflict of interest wanted a *switch* in vaccines, not a suspension. Hoax-peddlers were trying to get a cheap, effective & overwhelmingly safe vaccine replaced with one they would profit from.
