Yes, because of course that just makes him "righter". People love a good story of oppression; the fact that Wakefield is only oppressed by Consequences from his massively stupid, lethal bullshit is apparently less interesting. "They don't want you to know X" is like crack to suckers.

Probably gonna turn out the same here: the study will magically turn out to not be "flawed" - it's just Too Correct so the Woke Censor Monster is going to Ban it because it Hates Freedom, or whatever. Climate deniers, antivaxers etc., their whole thing is bullshitting. This won't make them reasonable, but less wrong info is still good, I guess.
