This is the title of Dr. Peter Hotez’s recent book (https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-Anti-science-Scientists-Warning/dp/1421447223) and his blatantly shameful labeling of what he calls ‘the anti-science movement’ (‘A deadly societal force’):

Instead of composing all this nonsense and attributing blame to the anti-vaxxers, the author’s time would be more wisely invested in identifying the current shortcomings in vaccinology, which still remains a very empirical business, and critically evaluating the use of vaccines during outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics. This, once again, underscores how perilous 'renowned' scientists can become when they become fixated on the notion that (imperfect) vaccines are the universal solution for all infectious diseases, regardless of the various modes of pathogen exposure.

The anti-science deadly societal force was the overwhelming tide of propaganda designed to goad people into getting injections. "Nobody is safe until everyone is safe". Can someone please explain the "science" behind that? The science of blocking early treatment? The smearing of HCQ as a dangerous drug? The science behind masking? The science that only considers antibodies as proof of immunity and ignores the remainder of the immune response?? The science behind giving immune compromised people an injection which further weakens their immune system? How about explaining the science behind administering a very dangerous medication as standard hospital protocol and how that drug kills patients? Dr Hotez's book will only seem convincing to the true believers. I hope he is exposed and ridiculed as a fraud as well as a criminal. Much of the public is far smarter than people like him might think.

Hotez is a born liar who will say anything e.g. "the anti-vaccine movement... [has] the signature of an authoritarian regime". But the classic is "these groups ... say scientists created the COVID virus. I can’t think of a time when we’ve seen that before in US history". I guess that would be correct.
