Although aluminum at high doses can cause a variety of clinical manifestations, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is too small to cause a direct toxic effect. Indeed, the quantity of aluminum in biological specimens from those receiving aluminum-containing vaccines is indistinguishable from unvaccinated subjects. The concern that aluminum in vaccines might be associated with a rare autoimmune disease called macrophagic myofasciitis has been refuted by previous studies.

To the people at large, a lot of "science" consists entirely of "hey look, a blessed paper says so; anyone who disagrees is a heretic", which is exactly what the atheists (and other-religion-ists) see for insert-religion-here.
Religion is dogmatic about its static, mutually exclusive, non falsifiable position(s) over extremely long periods of time.
The topics you are alluding to are usually novel, complex, changing, and subject to healthy debate. They are quite different.
I agree there is an aspect of belief amongst lay persons that they both share which i feel is the more subtle but valid aspect of your argument, but separating it from the initial part of my comment i feel invalidates its usefulness.
But we aren’t talking about firing one person. There are macro effects to firing people at this scale and shutting down whole departments. Not to mention the fact that it is illegal.
> "In Finland schools teach media literacy maybe that's a start."
When I was a school-goer in the 70's, 80's, and 90's they used to teach that and basic critical thinking and research skills in "Current Events", "Civics", and "History" classes here in the U.S. too, but it seems to have gone away in more recent decades. Pretty sure that "social media" destroyed a lot of that in the adult population, too (for those who even had those skills to lose in the first place). :(
