Libertarians, in general, want to reap the benefits of society without paying the costs. I don't imagine Amazon would have grown to the size it did if there weren't ports for the ships to dock in, roads for the trucks to drive on, an internet to advertise on, and all the rest of it, yet they feel beset upon for being asked to pay the taxes that help provide all those things.

Anti-vaxer truckers are the same, but writ small and in human form.

They believe government create most of the monopolies via regulation. You fan disagree but it doesn't make them Nazis.

You seem to be wandering a little far afield here. We're talking about Libertarians and government regulations for public health, not Libertarians and government regulation in business. And while I don't think they're Nazis, I still think they're wrong, in general, and for the same reasons.
