You're talking about subtle economic issues, when the original point was about people dismissing the pandemic as a hoax.

One can be understood through the lense of conflict and mistake theory. The other requires a conspiracy.

I think that's a bad example, has anyone gotten elected over the corona hoax thing?

Besides, "I would rather accept the risk of virus X than the inconvenience of wearing a mask," is a perfectly legitimate position for many viruses, and deciding which ones it applies to is the exact same kind of utility balance and value debate as any other policy choice.
