Oh for sure!
About 15 years ago I was doing research on fish. I had a cartoon character I had created that was a fish and I needed some background info. Lo and behold I find out that sharks rarely if ever got cancer. So I poured on the research and soon enough I had so much heat on the cancer treatment people that the head of one of the top cancer research institutions sent me a letter to watch it as it was dangerous to do so! I forwarded that letter to my news dept. heads and we went from it from there. Long story after that but it introduced me to the various cancer treatments that were cheap and were being blocked by big business.
Dr. Pauling did simple scientific research and everyone fought against him. Anyone believing him was considered a 'conspiracy theorist' or 'tinfoiler' or some such bullshit.
When the truth becomes 'conspiracy theory' then that's when we're in big trouble.
