They would publish papers, but what they would publish would be for the purpose of covering up or diverting attention from the criminal aspects of the research.

No, you’re wrong about that. In your general claim that scientists are not easy to fool. (First, look at how many scientists believe the global warming propaganda, and how many believe the current mask propaganda.)

Any specialized knowledge always comes with some kind of propagandistic teaching.

The first rule of propaganda is to establish a trusted source.
