One prediction is that widely known results, surprisingly, should be easier to retract, since their retraction …

Such efforts can increase individual- and population-level awareness of accurate and scientifically sound information regarding vaccines and thereby improve attitudes about vaccines, especially in the early phases of vaccine ro…
