Fritz Haber is an interesting case.

His work with fixing nitrogen (that is, making cheap and efficient fertilizers) is currently feeding about half of the world, and making food cheaper for the other half.

The other side of the coin is that he also pioneered chemical warfare. Weaponizing chlorine (for use by the Germans in WWI) was probably his most notable accomplishment in this field.
Interestingly enough, he once held a leadership position at the German company that would later (after he was long since gone) develop the notorious Zyklon B.

>Despite much noise being made by the small, yet incredibly vocal, anti-vaccine community, there is no evidence of fraud on the part of the CDC, nor is there convincing evidence of any cover-up. Brian S. Hooker’s study contains a number of flaws leading to a spurious, and biologically implausible, conclusion. In fact, the quality of the study is such that the journal that published it withdrew it pending further investigation, citing serious concerns about the validity and potential conflicts of interest.
