Brockie: Scientists who lie, cheat and defraudBob Brockie . In 2017, two Canadian scientists claimed their experiments supported Wakefield's vaccine-autism connection. If you falsify scientific data or plagiarise material in Europe, America or Australasia, your career in academia is pretty much over.
