Brain Dysfunction or Conspiracy?

We all have an unfortunate dysfunction in the brain that makes us hear minority views so much more audible than those of the majority. 

After all, what that faint little voice says is more interesting by sheer virtue of being different. Something like that you realize a red rose growing in the lawn, or rather a lonely turd (N. of T.:sorete for Argentine) on a white tile floor. Thus, when 99% of scientists agree that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks, this is a dull background noise. 

But when, in 1998, the medical journal The Lancet published a single, solitary study showing a possible link between the MMR vaccine (Measles, mumps and rubella - measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism, caused a panic on a global scale sixteen years later still roaring.

What do you think?
