I don't think people are anti-science as much as they don't trust the experts.  These people are very skeptical of authority (unless its Donald Trump for some reason), which is where conspiracies often come from.  They believe the government isn't trustworthy because it has lied so many times, and it has extended to experts of all fields.

I don't have a problem with skepticism (being a sheep is bad) but some people are not educated enough to tell what is good vs bad info, which isn't really their fault. They just have been burned by the government and experts before and so they have their guard up to high levels to the point of paranoia.

They have? When?
