Covid Contrarianism Has Crossed the Aisle
Briefly

The emergence of the new right is attributed to societal changes following the massive social experiments of 2020-21, including enforced lockdowns and vaccinations. This group springs from a reaction to social justice movements and claims to embrace the uncoolness of right-wing ideology. Key figures in health bureaucracies during the Trump administration are depicted as contrarians, challenging established health norms while dismantling vaccination programs and key health agencies. Their self-proclaimed image as rebels contrasts with their actions which suggest a troubling alignment with previous discredited ideologies.
