It makes sense to me. Natural health is enticing because it simplifies the problem of solving your health issues to adjust understanding how certain herbs, mushrooms, etc. affect the balance of your health. Real biology is incredibly complicated and full of unsatisfying answers. Natural health is full of sure answers (with dubious effects)
Facism is exactly the same except instead of the health of the body it is about the health of the state.

Papering over conflict and disagreement with hand waving about oneness which actually masks an authoritarian imposition of unitary identity or aesthetic vision -- an ideology of "natural balance", which sees certain groups (Jews, socialist radicals, intellectuals, scientists, doctors, whatever) as disrupting this equilibrium. Obviously vaccine opposition is one of the penultimate forms of this.
