"The new right emerged as a response to societal changes post-2020, such as enforced lockdowns and vaccinations, criticizing perceived excesses of social justice movements."
"Covid contrarians within health bureaucracies present themselves as free-thinking rebels, yet their actions dismantle established health agencies and vaccination programs, reflecting less heroism."
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.
