Certainly, there is a lot of rhetoric, including rhetoric from south of the border right now, that is really ramping up hesitancy or skepticism in science. The challenge is more intrinsic to people. Your mind gets into a sense of what seems right, what seems normal, what seems familiar, so you can get into this pattern of correlation versus causation and not being able to sit back and look critically at data.
My sole comment on that—and I'm not going to touch on the political “one party versus the other” aspect—to people on both sides of the aisle would be to simply listen to the scientific experts in the field, because they're the ones sitting there doing the work to critically come up with statistical or analytical interpretations of the data.
