Were I an evil mastermind with unlimited resources, I would create a swine-flu esq nothingburger and purposefully distort it in the media so that the NPCs believe it is the next black plague. I would then mass-distribute a vaccine that is horribly ineffective by vaccination standards so that the NPCs take them, but the dissidents don't. After enough NPCs took the shot, I would release an actual deadly plague that (plot twist) the aforementioned vaccines are actually effective against. I would also stop production of the shot at this point. Now the NPCs are all already safe, and most of the dissidents die off.
No. At least not the current jabs.
