Most people with views labeled "anti-science" are very much believers in science in the abstract, they just believe that the commonly accepted science is perverted by ideological biases, political agendas and/or corporate corruption.
It's a form of anti-intellectualism: the belief that those who society considers the experts can't be trusted.

So are scientists that push against the intellectual orthodoxy by default anti-intellectual? You know there are disagreements within the natural sciences, correct?

Let's look at what I actually said.

...

You say anti-vax was once a left wing thing, but is now more associated with the right. I post some counter examples without ever saying it's a "left wing thing", and you run a freaking regression analysis to knock down a strawman. You're something else dude.



Fair enough, but you've made the argument before, so you can't blame people for misinterpreting your words in this particular thread:

Wait, WV and Mississippi are the only 2 states who are correct on an issue? Has hell frozen over?

This is a crunchy granola problem for the most part.

Granola cons are more likely to exist in the West than the South.
