That is an interesting correlation. I do note that everyone who is in favor of things like vaccinations all say the benefits outweigh the risks, even when there are deaths, etc. and the opposition all say that not a single death is worth it. From the perspective of the first position, it is completely baffling that anyone could not see that the inaction results is significantly far more deaths (and pain and suffering) and is therefore ethically reprehensible.
But if they're not seeing the vaccines as the passive inaction, but rather the pushing of a single person to save many, that may be why it's so much harder for them to accept the consequences of vaccine side effects.
