COVID denial

Rejecting pandemic reality

COVID denial is the rejection or dismissal of established facts about the COVID-19 pandemic—that the virus exists, that it causes serious illness, or that public health measures like vaccines and masks are effective.

Deniers may claim the pandemic was fabricated, exaggerated, or orchestrated for political purposes.

His COVID denial persisted even after family members were hospitalized.
