Everything should be examined and never taken at face value. Issues are never as simple as either side of any issue wants you to believe.

It doesn't mean that experts should never be questioned or believed; it means they shouldn't be granted deification because they have a degree

I get your sentiment, I really do. One "expert" does not a topic make. Sure. But when 99.9% of "experts" hold a common opinion, it is likely that the issue is not politically or financially driven. That is why you shouldn't listen to one doctor about getting your kids vaccinated, you should listen to 100. If 99 out of that 100 agree that vaccines are the right choice, it means you should probably listen to them.

It is important to gather facts. That is a true statement. I watch Fox News with the same objectiveness. I also watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, and other independent news services. If they all say that a certain event happened, or is likely to happen, I am inclined to believe them.

Skepticism is valuable to a point, then it becomes radical and ignorant.
