This article investigates how ‘populism’ was used in public discussions during the COVID-19 outbreak. It argues that the indiscriminate use of ‘populism’ and its association with the pandemic is rooted in the negative way it is  talked about  in public debates. Critically evaluating pundit claims framing populism as an ‘anti-scientific’, ‘irresponsible’ and ‘authoritarian’ response to the health crisis, this article shows that ‘populism’ does not suffice to explain actors’ responses to COVID-19. Rather, populists’ ideological positions played a crucial role in their pandemic politics.
