You know, if you're a white supremacist and your goal is to deniably exterminate the untermenschen in camps by negligently letting plagues rip through them instead of gassing them, it shows a REMARKABLE lack of foresight to put an anti-vaxx nutcase in charge of your master race's public health policy, doesn't it?
These guys are evil but they're not terribly smart.

If they think letting disease rip through the population will "evolve" us, by selecting for good genes... well, that takes a while to happen.
Here's a walk-through of a paper on the evidence for an ancient viral pandemic in Asia. Yes, it changed the genome... slightly (42 genes with evidence of some selective mutation).
But... that pandemic apparently ran for about 20,000 years.
