laypeople don’t read scientific journals. Sure some antivaxxers will link to it in their facebook rants which your average person will not read. Being on routers and other mainstream media is what gives mass exposure and credibility. The problem is that the antivax line will gain traction but it won’t lose traction if and when futher studies show the opposite. Noone reads retractions or reevaluates previous information, the first thing published is either exclusively believed in perpetuity or believed in additional to later better information in a state of cognitive dissonance. Best path is to publish the most accurate information when a more complete picture it is available than every development which will lead to all manner of misunderstandings.
