I don't think it's fair to call that political. Everyone agrees that the current COVID19 restrictions are extraordinarily costly and should be relaxed the second we're able. If he believes he's found new evidence suggesting it's safer than commonly believed to relax the restrictions, of course he'll be desperate to tell people about it.

I might misread you here but what part of the statements of a politician are not supposed to be political there? The notion that this was based on evidence and marketing the study before it even concluded do not really seem to mix that well. And we're not talking about marketing in terms of a press release that went out to soon or an overeager university press department here, we're talking about a marketing agency campaign including singular topic social media account and sensationalization of the results.
