Covid conspiracists on the Right
 

Heartland Institute figure Justin Haskins, who "wrote a series of articles denouncing the Great Reset and went on the talk show circuit, propagating the idea that lockdowns, vaccinations, and monetary policy to bail out ailing workers and businesses [were] part and parcel of a socialist coup from above"
 
"The Hoover Institution, a neoliberal think tank not known for its previous expertise in epidemiology, became a clearinghouse for bad facts on the virus," including Mont Pelerin Society member Richard Epstein
 
the Bradley Foundation ("which funded Charles Murray as he wrote The Bell Curve") gave a quarter million dollars to Samuel Gregg and Jay Bhattacharya, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration ("which opposed masking and lockdowns during the pandemic")
