Imagine waking up tomorrow with the solution to the Voynich Manuscript.

Sorry, but that is not correct.  History is full of examples where practically all the experts in a field rejected what was in fact a correct and ground-breaking discovery/solution/invention.

If we exclude the situations where the idea was initially presented without any good evidence, then I think these are mostly fictionalized accounts for better drama. At least, every time I look up the details of a similar story it turns out there were both supporters and opponents from get go, just the opponents were more vocal and authoritative. But this doesn't make as good a movie plot as "one person against the whole world", so this alternative narrative gets boosted. I don't know of an instance where a well presented idea with substantial evidence got universally rejected.

On the other hand, there are also instances where the person is right and wrong at the same time. Reminds me an old joke: a guy is competing in a trivia contest. The host asks, "Which of these birds does not build its own nest: the Stork, the Swallow, the Cuckoo, or the Eagle?"
The guy rolls his eyes and says, "That’s easy - it's the Cuckoo!"
The host is impressed and asks, "Correct! Do you know why?"
The guy replies, "Well, duh... everyone knows they live in clocks!"
