What does this mean? People who don't know a lot about biology? That's effectively everyone who isn't a biologist (and probably even some who are), which is effectively everyone.

That sounds like more than skepticism to me.

I have no way of evaluating whether this is true beyond gut feelings. Do you?
Yes, there are educated people and educated reasons to be skeptical of vaccines.
But in practice, at least in America, that represents a small portion of the entire vaccine skeptical community.
Skeptical seems an accurate description too, as most of them couch their beliefs in "Well, I'm just asking the question"ism.
Through and through anti-vaccine people are a smaller group.
