The following frauds were Covidian alarmists in early 2020: Tucker Carlson Curtis Yarvin Mike Cernovich Jack Posobiec Steve Bannon JD Vance Most of them became Covidians because they saw it as a pretext to shut the borders, ban international travel, attack the "globalization" bogeyman, and position themselves for greater political power and influence. What they weren't counting on was Anthony Fauci stealing the show from them and becoming the public face of lockdowns, masks, and alarmism. Over the next year or so, they began reinventing themselves as part of the anti-lockdown movement. JD Vance did this. In April 2020 he went on a now-deleted social media binge that trashed Sweden, urged everyone to mask up, and tried to dismiss the anti-lockdown movement as a distraction from the "real" fight against "globalism." Two years later he reinvented himself as an anti-lockdown political candidate. Tucker Carlson used his broadcasts in early 2020 to spread Covid alarmism as a pretext for border closures, and even met privately with Trump to convince him to sign the emergency order that authorized lockdowns. When Fauci overshadowed him as the public face of the Covid response, Tucker flipped sides and reinvented himself as anti-lockdown. Cernovich and Posobiec spent the first few months of Covid pushing alarmism all over their social media feeds...which they've since memory-holed while reinventing themselves as lockdown resisters. A few more joined their ranks such as "Auron MacIntyre," a pseudonymous podcaster who registered a bunch of social media accounts on April 19, 2020 to promote Yarvinism. He said barely a word about Covid at the time (and his hero Yarvin was busy calling for lockdown violators to be jailed), but a couple years later he too reinvented himself as anti-lockdown. Those of us who opposed Faucism from the beginning remember just how lonely it was. But we also remember these imposters who came along years later and pulled a Stolen Valor scam on the public to depict themselves as skeptics of the very same Covidian tyranny they fomented.
