and it gets worse from there.

People hate what they aren't equipped to understand and there are a lot of people out there who can't do science at any level.

If you watched the video, you got some of the percentages, they're not high compared to the number of people who hate women or LGBTQ people or anyone who speaks with a thick accent.

But yeah, people hate scientists. Not all people, but enough. They're loud.
