The bad faiths attempts at "skepticism" are at least in large part to blame for that response. It's as if I yell fire in a crowded theater, then when there is no fire and my speech rightly faces consequences I complain about "the-powers-that-be" limiting my future attempts at yelling "fire".

Usually what is actually occurring is politicking and spreading disinformation. Conflating that with the good kind of scientific skepticism is quite dishonest, intellectually speaking.
