“Vaccine Skeptic”: A Manufactured Term to Suppress Inquiry

The mainstream media, along with the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, are predictably criticizing President Trump for supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., labeling him a “vaccine skeptic.”

But being a skeptic simply means asking questions. When did asking questions become dangerous? When did science stop welcoming them? How can society progress if questioning the status quo is vilified?

This growing hostility toward skepticism is deeply troubling. It risks leaving society entirely dependent on “the experts,” where anyone who dares to challenge them is dismissed as a crackpot—and, under this mindset, those labeled crackpots are quickly silenced and deplatformed.

The FDA’s vaccine safety chief, Peter Marks, speaking at a healthcare conference in London, essentially said that Trump’s appointment of “vaccine skeptics” could serve as an opportunity to teach the world a lesson about the importance of vaccines. The assumption is that if vaccination rates drop, people will get sick and realize the FDA was right. Of course, if people don’t get sick, he’s unlikely to admit he was wrong.
