the theory I just came up with is that this is part of the whole reactionary is-ought fallacy, so in their worldview a healthcare genocide is only possible through positive means (vaccines and chemtrails etc), but negative means (denial of care, food deserts etc) are not even remotely real in their understanding of the world, so all those people dying or living shitty existences are not a problem unless BIG AGENDA X is actively trying to cause them harm through some clandestine and clockwork conspiracy
my new line of questioning with some of these folks is to talk about the big bad AI future a la Musk etc, but then show that all those horrible things are already happening, and then turn them to thinking about how the evil AI is actually capitalism running on wetware via business majors and fintech etc
That's definitely deep in the AnCap philosophical pudding.
But I don't know how many lay-people are into it and how many are simply like "Shots hurt me and I don't like them." The number of COVID vaccines given out so far is tracking pretty neatly with the number of flu shots normally administered in a given year. So we could just be running into a soft ceiling of needle-aversion.
