Everyone should "question", but the way to both ask and answer those questions is the scientific method, along with peer-reviewed sharing of published results. The foundations of modern science are 100+ years of publication and evidence, built progressively over the decades by workers across the world who have no common financial incentives. If your "questioning" leads to the conclusion "it's all wrong and this podcast guy is right," I would "question" whether you're being sold a bag of goods.

That's not to say that science is always "right". In the wake of something new (like COVID), new scientific evidence is going to come piecemeal and incomplete. And I do believe that there are long-held dogmas that CAN be overcome. But the chances become less and less of this the more a field is studied. It's like an open-source SW project that gets better and better over time... You've got to be REAL good to find the flaws in the system.
