The article never said the anti-lockdown movement was far right. It said there a links with the far right. Those have been alleged by intelligence services and also been demonstrated by Queerdenken marching with Neo-Nazis against this cause.

It's not „Covid doesn't spread when you are protesting for a good cause!“. It's people who support progressive causes are more vaccinated and wear their masks.

> It's people who support progressive causes are more vaccinated and wear their masks. lol, no. People have been excusing putatively "left-wing" protests like BLM since last summer long before there were any vaccines, and the vaccines appear not to do much to stop transmission of the Delta variant. As far as masks go, most of these protests take place outdoors, where masks move from the realm of "they probably don't make much difference" to "they definitely don't make any difference."
