I think it has a lot to do with the shifting of science for political gain. From biological sex to vaccines, it's hard to "trust the science" when widely long held scientific fact change because of political pressure. It's not "anti science" it's backlash against science changing to fit a political or ideological narrative.
Then again... it could be the money paying scientists.
