It is tempting to wonder if activists sympathetic to climate and evolution denial might be grasping opportunities to discredit science in general by spreading vaccine and HIV denialism.So, having described how these "denialist" movements set themselves up as underdogs fighting a corrupt elite engaged in conspiracy, the author gets a touch of paranoia and conspiracy theory himself. Look out, everyone: denialist movements are all part of a big conspiracy to weaken the public's trust in all-powerful Science! Aiee!

I thought it said 'dentalism paranoia' and was confused when the post wasn't about people who were paranoid about the movement towards looking after your teeth.
Yes, I can see how that would be confusing. Is there even a Dentalism movement?
Not according to Wikipedia. But it made sense in my head.
Fair enough. I think we've already accomplished most of what any Dentalism movement would have aimed for anyway.
