Someone who doesn't buy into a particular conspiracy does not (necessarily) share any traits with the religious whack jobs that burned witches at the stake. They were driven by ignorance and religious fervor.

It seems you would like to have it both ways - denying the validity of science when it suits you, and at the same time using your own brand of scientific speculation to support a particular conspiracy, again when it suits you. Either science is real, or it isn't. Hint: science and the scientific method are fucking real. 

Huge mistakes in medical sciences have most definitely been made, but they tend to be self correcting over time. That's how science works.
