Unfortunately hackernews has become a bit of a destination for people with far right conspiracy-oriented feelings in the last couple years. They're not the majority, but they're here. It's either a new milieux, or an existing libertarian-capitalist/Ayn-Randy segment whose opinions moved in this direction during COVID.
I'm used to the downvotes on anything like this where this kind of thing comes up. The "mistake" is implying that vaccine-skeptics or far right conspiracy theorists or actual-neo-NAZIS are baddies It always gets downvotes.
It usually rebounds later once more eyes are on the topic, though.
