It wasn't a question of scientific conservatism at all. Big pharma spent millions of dollars on PR to convince doctors that the idea that gastric ulcers are caused by bacteria was wrong, and Astra bought and buried the genome of _H. pylori_ when it was first sequenced. They managed to delay widespread acceptance of the idea by some ten years, in which time they made billions of dollars and thousands of people suffered needlessly.I've worked for pharmaceutical companies, and the level of cynicism is unbelievable. One really must not confuse medicine and the pharmaceutical industry with science in general; if there is such a thing as "evil" in science, you will find it in the field of medicine. All due to the enormous amounts of money in that field. Huge sums of money can corrupt anyone.?
Semper Fidelis... To those currently in the field, Godspeed...
