but like... how does spreading disease makes them any money? if anything they are losing money mid to long term.

From the linked Wikipedia page:
Basically, it's just another variation of rallying people against a problem that doesn't exist. Once you have their support, you can start asking them for money.

An unfortunate side effect is that you might eventually start succeeding at eliminating public health measures, but who cares as long as you're getting paid?
