Your comment reminds me of the that Swedish "If crisis or war comes" pamphlet sent to all Swedish households in 2018. Right on the second page is a warning about "false information":
Well, surely it's not working at the present time. A politician interviewed who went out to get the virus and then attended meetings was completely unconcerned about spreading it to his peers.
Interviewer: "But can you understand his concern [about his risk due to his health conditions]?"
Persson: "No, I do not. He's 50 years old. There is no risk to him. He doesn't get sick of this."
Interviewer: "But do you know that even younger people get sick and die of corona?"
Persson: "There is no reason to be worried. It's a hysteria. It is the same as with the climate. It is not possible to change. We cannot influence it politically."
And yet, somewhat bizarrely, Sweden has been latched onto as the model for a sane response to the virus amongst many conservative circles. I will hold my breath as they fail to take action against a disease with 10 times the IFR of the flu and many fold the transmissibility, with the CDC now reporting an r0 of 3.8–8.9 in a 95% CI.
That interviewed person is from a local party in a small municipality. Very fringe.
Of course the US right tries to score points from the lack of a hard lockdown here. But I wonder how well that would have worked without universal healthcare and salaries partly (80%?) paid by government for the time being.

Maybe a "mental herd immunity" against viral propaganda is a necessary first step to develop a biological herd immunity ;)
