Exactly. Skepticism is about casting doubt on beliefs and dogmas, not outright rejecting facts. When it comes to germs and vaccines there’s scientific consensus on those matters. They’re as close to facts as you can get. But rejecting those you’re not a skeptic, you’re a denier. There’s no scientific debate on those topics, only a political debate on whether to reject science or not.
i’m adding, not disagreeing… guess i should’ve said, “yeah comrade, well put, scientists are the real skeptics 🤝”
but, for the record, i agree with your preceding comment.
i apologize for lack of clarity 🎩 🤏
