Good that she had the determination to continue. The great thing is that she was vindicated because it turned out she was right. In science being right is what ultimately matters.
I'm guessing she will never have similar problems in the future.
The thing is she randomly got lucky and proven right due to a pandemic that no-one expected. There are a huge number of other scientists out there who were also right but never had that luck.
The problem is, and this happens a lot in science, often it takes so long for scientists to be vindicated they die poor and in disrepute. If the pandemic had never happened she may have gone the same way.
Being wrong is just as important in science, imo
Right or wrong, it's all data

She may not, but i wonder how many other incredible technologies are being held back for effectively political reasons.
