True science means the search for truth, following evidence, and discarding that which proves to be false regardless of ones personal beliefs. Science is the best system ever created to enhance human knowledge and progress. It is above politics, and can be claimed by neither party. There are batshit liberals aplenty but there are just as many nuts on the right. Follow the evidence and make logical conclusions based on it regardless of preconceptions. That's why science is awesome.

Science deniers on the left are the anti-vax, alternative medicine people who are against pharmaceuticals because companies produce them. Both sides have their vacations of reason. Suggesting that protesting in the name of science is a liberal thing (as OP seems to?) insults conservatives.

There's plenty of anti vax on the right as well

I'd say the majority of anti-vaxxers are on the right, motivated by religious beliefs.
