The "97% of doctors" is a poor analogy in this debate. You might as well throw in that 97% plus of financial analysts failed to predict the GFC, yet you still trust them to manage your smaller super fund even today and now 97% of them can't agree on whether the world is recovering or not.
I'd say more than 97% of doctors were at odds and challenged Warren and Marshall yet their "tenacity and prepared mind challenged the prevailing dogma". They were awarded the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine 2005 with their "remarkable and unexpected discovery" re peptic ulcer disease. Until then people were told it was lifestyle and stress related.
Someone once said Science progresses one funeral at a time.
