The 1970s also saw a general boom in New Age woo, together with the magical group-thinking of left-wing political cults. Parallels today warrant consideration.

For example, anti-vax resembles anti-nuclear movement of 1970s. Both reflect a left-wing type of skepticism to scientific reasoning: based in fear of contamination from external environment. Empirical support for this view in moral/political psychology.

Um, no. Antivax is the quackery that spans the entire political spectrum. Indeed, antivax views are roughly equally prevalent on the left and on the right. Indeed, today, the loudest, most dangerous antivax voices come from the right, not the left.

Indeed, it is a myth that antivaccine views are primarily a left wing phenomenon.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/06/04/the-daily-show-hilarious-segment-about-vaccines-not-so-hilariously-wrong-about-the-politics-of-vaccine-denialism/ …
