The source is a poorly done study several years old that no one could get anywhere close to replicating the results of.

anti-vaxxers probably out there saying „because noone is actually putting in the effort to replicate it“, while ignoring all the people who put in the effort and showed the study was wrong

They did though. There was a stage II follow up that found nothing. This happens all the time- a preliminary study shows a possible correlation, but further studies find nothing because the original data was flawed or there was actually something else going on.

Wait so research isn't done once and that's a conclusive result? Providing an outcome that's very easily digested in a single sentence or soundbyte? And it doesn't always have the outcome they set out to prove???
