Hot take: the current trend of publicly broadcasting how scientists are losing funding for pointing out facts with diseases and vaccines is showing us what they used to do - investors burying stories they don’t want to admit.
Maybe historians originally did call them what they were. But their investors got pissed off and “calling them roommates” was a way to do their work and still feed their family.
I don’t know about investors, but in the past it is not uncommon for researchers to have inherent biases. For example, scientific racism was definitely a thing.

Please feel encouraged to specify that this current trend mostly applies to USA.
