    That’s not true, all countries of the world have groups / politcal parties that deny science. It’s the “easy” way, and some people prefer to believe in the easy way, instead of reasonably concluding that reality is not easy.

      At least in Canada and most of the European countries, these people are mocked out of public space. Only in the US do they have a microphone and that’s the point I’m bringing. I know there are stupid people in every country. But why are they taken seriously in the US and not the other countries?

        Yeah all those massive anti-vaccine protests in Canada and Europe weren’t denying science. And if they were they were just Americans on vacation
