    There must be (or ought to be) a term for this type of conspiracy that requires practically all experienced professionals in a given field to be complicit.

      It’s just a repeat of that AIDS conspiracy group that rejected evidence on HIV and made their own “science” mag which folded when everyone died of AIDS
