Absolutely. Is there any evidence that the tests are not being done

have a sound reputation. Whilst the news media may have picked up on

various aspects of this more recently I really do not think that they

will have had much impact on the research - the politics are of course

a different matter.

We should ignore the utterances of politicians and the hysterical ill informed partial outpourings of the media (mmr should have taught us that)

Just find and read the science.

Unfortunately there are scientists working for groups such as Greenpeace and the WWF who have publicly stated that it's OK to lie if it's for the good of the planet, which means 'I will falsify the results of my research to further my personal beliefs'.
