What about, say, questioning evolution though? Or vaccines?
Most people questioning those topics aren't questioning them because of genuine curiosity--at least if they're college educated or equivalent. Instead it's as part, conscious or not, of a planned campaign of misinformation.
Saying someone is unscientific is, in that context, more of a statement of being actively anti-scientific, not science-resistant.
On vaccines, there haven't been that many RCT's (with the notable exception of polio) so one could make the argument that causality hasn't been proven.
I probably wouldn't make the argument, but I know some well educated professionals who would.
