Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is NOT a “vaccine skeptic.” He is antivax. Period.

The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.

I would be a vaccine skeptic if i could find anything about curing viruses skeptical. Fortunately or unfortunately im not stupid.
You can be a skeptic and still come to the conclusion "vaccines work with no major problems, and should be mandated widely".
I can also not be a skeptic and do research anyway. I have a fair amount of confidence in scientists but not governments. Nor governments understandings of science. Nor the common persons understanding. Im skeptical on all those fronts. But science. Not so much.
Yup, I'm a vaccine skeptic and get every pretty much every one that's offered, because it turns out they're totally worth it. But I do my research anyway because I'm not blindly injecting anything.
