denier
Rejects accepted facts
A denier rejects or refuses to accept something established or evident: climate change deniers, Holocaust deniers.
The word often carries a connotation of willful ignorance or bad faith—deniers typically reject overwhelming evidence rather than merely expressing skepticism.
Separately, denier is a unit measuring the fineness of fiber in textiles: fifteen-denier stockings.
