That particular example is not a good one, since the scientists should be all rights have been convicted and punished for what they did. The overturning of the sentence was a miscarriage of justice driven by public opinion and media clickbait frenzy, not the facts.

It is not ok to kill people by telling them that they are safe to go back to their homes when you know you have no idea, nor data to support that statement.
