I imagine most of the skeptical people would be happy with a smallpox vaccine given it is a real vaccine that provides immunity by injecting an inactive (non replicating) virus. Compared to the latest ones that do something entirely different and at beast provide 'protection' - the CDC changed the definition of the word vaccine to include these latest bunch of jabs.

For every person who is skeptical to the "new" vaccines you'll find a person skeptical to the "old" vaccines, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't significant overlap (i.e. the people saying that they don't want to take the COVID vaccines because they're too new suddenly saying that they don't want to take the smallpox vaccine for $reasons). Doesn't help that the "standard" smallpox vaccine is quite nasty in terms of application and side effects (leaves a scar): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine#ACAM2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine#ACAM2000
