The phrasing "believe in science" makes me cringe honestly. The whole antivaxxers stereotype of provaxxers is that they blindly trust authorities and institutions that proclaim themselves to be scientific while not doing any legwork themselves and think that they're scientific when they're effectively operating off faith in institutions and people with questionable credibility and integrity and conflicts of interest. I have seen no shortage of antivaxxers with quite a bit of brainpower especially recently. I "believe" that the majority of uncorrelated data and analysis from different areas and hospitals and laboratories and morgues and universities and contact tracers and clinical data and so on that have demonstrated a grave risk from COVID, the efficacy of the vaccine, and the risk of the vaccine being outweighed by the risk of COVID. I recognize some science does support the anti-vax point of view but I do not believe it sufficiently makes the case to support their point of view, and that the analysis and data gathering I've seen so far from that camp has been flawed.
