There is a war on science and a war against education by those who depend on an ignorant, uneducated voting populace to keep them in office.
We see it in not only the war against immunizations, but also in the attacks on climate science and the war against biological science in denying evolution. We even see it in the amazing resurgence of people who are seriously arguing that the earth is flat and not spherical and that the earth, not the sun, is the center of the solar system.
Anti-vaxxers and climate deniers are just the latest incarnation of Flat Earth superstitious ignorance.
Trying to be “fair and balanced” is false “equivalence.” There is nothing remotely approaching balance between climate scientists and climate deniers (most funded by big energy corporations).
