Anti-GMO is one thing I can think of, although the issue is much more nuanced than one may think.

That said, the anti-GMO movement on the left is somewhat overstated, I mean, Bill Nye was originally against GMOs but came around and admitted fault (and this was a while ago, too).

The anti-vax movement also once held ground with some of the nuts on the left, but this issue is now more associated with the right; Donald Trump is an anti-vaxxer, while there are no power-holding left-wing politicians that are anti-vaxxers.

The ultra-authoritarian far left, i.e. Mao and Stalin, were quite anti-science.

Despite all of this, I would say that anti-science views are, objectively speaking, much less common on the left than on the right.



Ah yes, who can forget that the non-vaccination rate is highest in those Trumpist bastions; Oregon and Vermont.

The correlation with political views isn't that strong since Idaho and some other Republican western states are high and NY and RI are low.
