Didn't notice the potentially sinister implications of the title question before, but now I'm sort of wondering if there were/are people holding any particular beliefs who were/are more or less likely to take the crisis seriously. I sort of see the extremes as being highly abstract or highly pragmatic, both for ideology and for the way the pandemic and virus have been viewed. Like, was any one side more particularly prudent or health-conscious for themselves or others?

I've come across both trans identified and gender critical people in anti-lockdown spaces. Though being against lockdown is not synonymous with "not taking the crisis seriously" or being "non prudent or health conscious." I see gender ideologues as similar to lockdown ideologues as they don't engage in argument, only scream about how I want people to die. Clichés function in the same way to shut down debate (transwomen are women, stay home save lives), as do slurs and the selective sharing of science.
