True, but there's a difference. Right now, in 2019, it isn't the left that is home to the loudest, most dangerous antivax voices.

My college town experience isn’t consistent with this. Our leftish thought leaders are solidly allied with science only re: climate change.

So we are "solidly allied behind science" on medicine and climate change. What about environmental science? Or the economic data showing trickle down doesn't work? Why "only"?

No, not on medicine either. Our town supports numerous purveyors of medical magic. It’s only climate change that brings out the science science science chest thumping in our local thought leaders. Virtually everything else, not so much.

Belief in alternative medicine is also roughly equal on the left and the right. He'll, part of Alex Jones' entire business model is to push worthless supplements and treatments. The epicenter of the supplement industry is Utah, and Orrin Hatch was it's lapdog.

Also, let's not forget that one of the biggest quacks on the Internet, Mike Adams, is a MAGA-spewjng conspiracy theorist, allied with Alex Jones.

Indeed, one of the early manifestations of the pro-quackery movement was the "health freedom" movement, which has been explicitly right wing/libertarian in orientation.
