Insightful comment! Your last sentence is interesting. People do not have the tools available to reach Marxist conclusions (could be because in the US it is hardly mentioned until like grad school...) so they grasp onto random bullshit to try and bring order/explanation to the cruel backwardness and inefficiency that is clearly visible all around us.
Some of them draw from the much more widely available technocratic ways of thinking, liberals who understand science even if they don't apply it to ideology. Being adjacent to them doesn't make my vaccine support liberal any more than it does capitalist because a big pharma company produced it. Philips made my toothbrush and I don't keep from brushing my teeth. Anticapitalist opposition to the vaccine would be along the lines of vaccine apartheid, job conditions not allowing for recovery times, and attacking power structures that exploit the working class during the pandemic. We see all of that here on a daily basis. If they're not tuned into that kind of dissection method and especially the media streams that understand it, everything else is filtered through the lens of the people wealthy enough to own media companies. It's all judas goat shit leading them to slaughter for the real priorities behind the information they're given.
