Belief that the COVID-19 pandemic or its effects do not exist
It has been suggested that this article be merged into COVID-19 misinformation, discuss and Talk:COVID-19_misinformation#Proposed_merge_of_COVID-19_denialism. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2023.
"COVID is a lie" graffiti in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England

COVID-19 denialism or merely COVID denialism is the thinking of those who deny the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, or, at the very least, deny that deaths are happening in the manner or proportions scientifically recognized by the World Health Organization. The claims that the COVID-19 pandemic has been faked, exaggerated, or mischaracterized are pseudoscience. Some famous people who have engaged in COVID-19 denialism include Elon Musk, former U.S. President Donald Trump, and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
