Defending 'snake oil': The preservation of contentious knowledge and practices

Catherine D. Tan

Summary: This study examines how a community of parents and practitioners maintain belief in controversial ideas, such as the link between autism spectrum disorder and vaccinations, despite objections from mainstream experts. The strategies identified include professional alignment and contrastive boundary work, which help protect internal legitimacy and construct a distinct group identity anchored in shared knowledge and practices. Through these strategies, the actors respond to perceived threats and uphold their disputed beliefs.

Florian Cafiero et al.

Summary: The study found that both explanations for the current surge of Vaccine Hesitancy may be simultaneously true.
