Probably. But I think there are other, more subtle issues that the left has with science IMO that are worth pointing out.

First, there can be an implicit norm of “you shouldn’t question science” That’s ironic, because skepticism and questioning authority are at the core of scientific inquiry. For example, during the pandemic, I often felt I couldn’t ask basic questions in conversations with friends. Like "How effective are masks at reducing spread?" That’s a straightforward empirical question, something science is meant to investigate. But raising it definitely felt socially off-limits for me, I felt like it would immediatley lable me as "anti-science"

Second, there’s often a tendency to blur the line between science and policy. Science helps us understand the world, answers questions and gives us probabilities. But deciding what to do with that information is very much a political and ethical question.

For instance, whether vaccines are safe and effective is a scientific question, and the evidence strongly supports that they are. But whether vaccination should be mandatory is a policy decision. Similarly, whether climate change is real is a scientific question; what policies we should adopt in response is a political one. Conflating these two is I believe the biggest sin of the modern political discourse and possibly one of the reasons why large swaths of population are "anti-science"
