When cigarette companies used doctors to push smoking (2018)
It&#x27;s a bit funny that some commenters relate this to vaccines. I also see a similarity, but maybe in a slightly different way.<p>The tobacco industry paid doctors to become outliers and promoted them to imply expert consensus and push their product.<p>People not very fond of vaccines also promote outliers attempting to imply some form of consensus or at least scientific validity. Quite a few of them also have products or a whole world view to sell (which often includes buying specific products).
