I actually don't think that this is super meaningful. The qanon-esque conspiracies are free floating. The actual conspiracy does not matter and it will happily move to some completely different topic over time. The conspiracy could instead be that Hillary Clinton is using the Ring of Power to turn people's kids trans and it would serve the same function.
So I don't think that pointing out the ways that the Trump administration is materially harming people's health does anything. The point of the medbed conspiracy isn't to solve healthcare. The point is to define "them" as the source of general suffering faced by people.
Same as the adrenochrome conspiracies aren't actually about rooting out child abduction but instead let people define some external cause to why they lost their kids in a custody battle after losing their minds online and having their kids bathe in bleach.
