Scientists follow the evidence. They aren't bound to dogma. They will readily shift their opinion in light of new and compelling evidence.
I agree there are extremists on both sides, except the extremists on either side have vastly different agendas like one wants to be a supreme race and the other wants transgender people to have bathroom privileges or all races to have equal rights. There are extremists on both sides who share government distrust or are anti-vaxxers, so sometimes the thinking-sickness and irrationality exists on both sides, but I don't think the divide is equal.
The truth can be in the middle, but it can also not be in the middle.
