I agree that anti-science bias is more widespread than some here seem willing to admit (perhaps they just haven't noticed or hang around in circles where it's rampant?). Anti-vaxxes, climate change deniers, anti-maskers - it seems pretty rampant in parts of the US (especially in the red states). We like to think that society moves linearly "up and to the right" - towards more enlightenment, but history shows that that's not always the case and we seem to be living through a period of history where it is not the case.
