Although COVID denialism has no ideological boundaries, it most frequently crops up on the far-right, who also often utilize [[Asiaphobia|anti-Chinese]] [[racism]] as a part of COVID denialism, such as referring to COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" or the "kung-flu" and spreading conspiracy theories that it was deliberately created by the Chinese government.
