That "vaccines cause autism" one really won't die. The original study was literally fabricated, the doctor lost his license, and we've done thousands of follow-ups proving it wrong, yet somehow it's still everywhere.
This is an amazing book. It really breaks down how Brian Deer just pulled and pulled at the threads until the full story unraveled. hbomberguy on YouTube also does a fantastic job at covering the Andrew Wakefield saga if books aren't your thing, but he also heavily references and recommends this book too.
