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.

You can be a skeptic and still come to the conclusion "vaccines work with no major problems, and should be mandated widely".

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.
