A bit of false equivalence here.

This is absolutely true. Even flat-earthers like to call the knowledge that the Earth is a globe a "religious belief". Science deniers of all types have a need to project their own failings so as to make themselves look less extreme than they really are.

Most scientists will not investigate something unless there’s good reason to think it’s true, and a plausible mechanism. They don’t investigate many antivax claims for the same reason they don’t investigate homeopathy.
