Join us as we explore visionaries who were ridiculed before being vindicated! From scientists silenced by powerful industries to whistleblowers labeled as paranoid, these individuals stood by unpopular truths despite facing ridicule, persecution, and worse. Their vindication came too late for many of them. Our countdown includes nutritionist John Yudkin who exposed sugar's dangers, Sinéad O'Connor's brave stand against the Catholic Church, Ernest Hemingway's “paranoia“ about FBI surveillance, Dr. John Snow's revolutionary cholera theory, and Ignaz Semmelweis's radical idea that doctors should wash their hands. Which vindicated visionary surprised you most? Let us know in the comments below!
