  There is a troubling new expansion of antiscience aggression in the
  United States. It’s arising from far-right extremism, including some
  elected members of the US Congress and conservative news outlets that
  target prominent biological scientists fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

  A band of ultraconservative members of the US Congress and other public
  officials with far-right leanings are waging organized and seemingly
  well-coordinated attacks against prominent US biological scientists. In
  parallel, conservative news outlets repeatedly and purposefully promote
  disinformation designed to portray key American scientists as enemies.
  As a consequence, many of us receive threats via email and on social
  media, while some are stalked at home, to create an unprecedented
  culture of antiscience intimidation.

  Over the spring and summer of 2021, four major incidents stand out.
  First, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) introduced house bill
  2316 [[60]1]. The “Fire Fauci Act” called for halting payment of Dr.
  Anthony Fauci’s salary as Director of the National Institute of Allergy
  and Infectious Diseases, and auditing his digital correspondence and
  financial transactions. Green’s follow-up press conference on 21 June
  2021 included 13 Republican House supporters or co-sponsors, possibly
  the largest congressional delegation in modern times to single out and
  attempt to humiliate a prominent American scientist.

  Also in June, the Republicans organized a House Select Subcommittee on
  the origins of COVID-19 with the presumption that it was ignited by
  gain-of-function genetic engineering research from the Wuhan Institute
  of Virology. Despite evidence pointing to spillover from a viral
  infection in bats to additional mammals and ultimately humans
  accounting for previous coronavirus epidemics [[61]2], the hearings
  took on a sinister tone, pointing fingers at virologists both in the US
  and China. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), stated that Dr. Fauci was "afraid of
  something" and falsely claimed that he was covering up the engineering
  of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus [[62]3]. The far-right media harasses or
  stalks other prominent US scientists, including Dr. Peter Daszak who
  heads the EcoHealth Alliance and conducts research on the zoonotic
  origins of human virus infections [[63]1].

  Vaccines and vaccine scientists are also targeted. Alongside the June
  Republican COVID-19 origins hearings, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI)
  organized a roundtable in Milwaukee to highlight the rare adverse side
  effects from COVID-19 vaccines [[64]4], as evening Fox News anchors
  promoted fake claims regarding deaths from COVID-19 vaccinations
  [[65]5]. In July, Rep. Green declared on Twitter that a COVID-19
  vaccine is “a political tool used to control people”, while Rep.
  Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) said that door-to-door COVID-19 vaccinations
  were just a step away from US Government confiscations of guns and
  bibles, and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) referred to vaccinators as
  “needle Nazis”. Days later, the medical director for vaccines in the
  Tennessee Department of Health was abruptly terminated for her efforts
  to vaccinate minors (14 and up) without parental consent. These actions
  were concurrent with state efforts to halt vaccine advocacy and
  outreach to teens and adolescents, and at a time when the delta variant
  is accelerating [[66]6]. As a vaccine scientist and author of a book
  explaining why autism, including my adult daughter’s autism, is
  unrelated to vaccines [[67]7], I am also a target of antivaccine
  activists, including those writing menacingly about “patriots” who will
  seek me out. During a June 2021 interview with the staunchly
  conservative Florida Governor, a Fox News anchor referred to me as
  “infamous”, and “notorious” [[68]8].

  These events have context. Prior to 2021, a program of antiscience
  disinformation that dismissed the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic was
  aggressively pursued by a White House committed to policies of “America
  First”. The America First element of the far right focuses on nativism,
  anti-immigration, and a foreign policy built around strong military
  build-up and deterrence, and confrontation with China. A darker view
  links it to voter suppression, and loyalty tests to the former
  President that question the veracity of the 2020 Presidential election.
  Harvard University political scientist, Steven Levitsky (the co-author
  of How Democracies Die), point out how these elements converge to form
  a modern day authoritarian regime [[69]9], seeking to concentrate power
  among a selected few while limiting the reach of opposition groups.

  Historically, such regimes viewed scientists as enemies of the state.
  In his 1941 essay, Science in the Totalitarian State [[70]10], Waldemar
  Kaempffert, outlines details using the examples of Nazism under Hitler,
  Fascism under Mussolini, and Marxism and Leninism [[71]10]. For
  example, under Stalin, the study of genetics and relativity physics
  were treated as dangerous western theories, and potentially in conflict
  with official social philosophies of state [[72]11]. Today, there
  remain examples of authoritarian regimes that hold similar views. In
  2019, the Hungarian Government under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán took
  over the control of the Hungarian Academy of Scientists. Brazil’s
  President Jair Bolsonaro cut funding for Brazilian scientific
  institutions and universities while downplaying the severity of the
  COVID-19 pandemic or undermining evidence of deforestation in the
  Amazon due to climate change.

  Such activities are sometimes conducted under an alternative or
  replacement intellectual framework. In the book Twilight of Democracy:
  The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism, Anne Applebaum illustrates the
  rationale for authoritarian targeting, and ultimately replacement, of
  the intelligentsia, including the scientists [[73]12]. She cites the
  work of Julien Benda, a French essayist who in his 1927 book, The
  Betrayal of the Intellectuals (in French, La trahison de clercs),
  identifies the need to establish a core element of intellectuals to
  legitimize the authoritarian regime. To dismantle a legitimate
  scientific infrastructure it becomes essential to create an alternative
  narrative. For that reason Orbán does not close the Hungarian Academy
  of Sciences, but seizes its control. In the 1930s and 40s, Stalin
  replaced Vavilov with Trofim Lysenko and his pseudoscientific theories
  of vernalization [[74]11]. Along similar lines, the rise of antiscience
  in an authoritarian America is notable for its intellectual cover.
  Experts affiliated with far right-leaning think tanks have adopted
  positions on herd immunity, vaccinations, and other COVID-19 prevention
  approaches that fit the America First narrative. In some cases these
  views are reinforced by intellectuals on the dark web.

  In summary, the aggression against science and scientists in America
  arises from three sources: 1) Far-right members of the US Congress, 2)
  the conservative news outlets and 3) a group of thought leaders who
  provide intellectual underpinnings to fuel the first two elements
  ([75]Fig 1).

  Fig 1. Aggression against science or US scientists in the Year 2021.

  [83]https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001369.g001

  For researchers working in the pandemic response to continue to do so
  effectively, we seek help in halting the aggression. This is essential
  not only for our personal safety or national security, but also the
  reality that attacking science and scientists will both promote illness
  and cause loss of life. For example, currently more than 99% of the
  COVID-19 deaths now occur among unvaccinated people, and almost as many
  hospitalizations. To begin, the following steps must be considered:
    * The President of the United States, together with science leaders
      at the federal agencies should prepare and deliver a robust,
      public, and highly visible statement of support. The statement
      would reaffirm the contribution of scientists across United States
      history.
    * We should look at expanded protection mechanisms for scientists
      currently targeted by far-right extremism in the United States.
      Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) has introduced a bill known as the
      Scientific Integrity Act of 2021 (H.R. 849) to protect US
      Government scientists from political interference, but this needs
      to be extended for scientists at private research universities and
      institutes. Still another possibility is to extend federal
      hate-crime protections.

  As Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once pointed out,
  neutrality or silence favors the oppressor. We must take steps to
  protect our scientists and take swift and positive action to counter
  the growing wave of far-right antiscience aggression. Not taking action
  is a tacit endorsement, and a guarantee that the integrity and
  productivity of science in the United States will be eroded or lose
  ground.
