Not sure if I know how to properly analyze in this vein, but I’d say that manipulating people into avoiding public health, higher disease spread, etc can support a general push to dismantle institutions, sell drugs and healthcare equip, and generally keep the unwashed masses at odds with each other and scared/sick while the grifter elite raid the henhouse and build up better walls and security.

It’s fairly clear that the elites somewhat see the writing on the wall, and that their choice has been not to retreat/reduce their footprint, but to aggressively pursue rentier extremism / ecofascism / eugenics option.

amerikkkolonizers are smelly, gross hogs (derogatory)

The one I've seen put forth a lot is eugenics. They know vaccines are safe and get it for themselves. They don't care if suburbanites spread antivax shit because the suburbanites are not part of the bourgeois. They especially want it to kill children, the elderly, and the disabled because those groups don't work. They also know diseases disproportionately affect poor and minority communities, so even better if they get killed by measles or smallpox.

Of course, you get members of the 1% who drink their own supply, resulting in people like Herman Caine and Marcus Lamb dying from preventable illnesses.

Personally, I'm not smart enough to give an answer I haven't heard from someone else. I think the eugenics angle may be flawed due to reactionaries understanding there's no way to control who dies.
