Well even the old movie "poison & antidote" trope is mostly fiction. The only thing that's close is opioid/Narcan or Anaphylaxis/Epinephrine, and these need to be applied just right, so it's impossible to apply secretly. Targeted murder/genocide seems to be the only proven method - so far.
Oh I know it's Bond-villain levels of credibility to my speculation.
But as a nefarious plot it kind of works:
Introduce new virus. Use new vaccine as vector for a dangerous component.
Wait 5 years.
Introduce another virus. Have second vaccine. Both vaccines amplify the danger and probability of side-effects to an escalating degree.
The diseases are simply there to get an excuse to have people take the shots, over and over again, compounding the danger every time.
Since the Blofeld in this scenario could simply /not/ take the shot, it works a lot better than a disease engineered to be a killer á la Moonraker.
Kind of how environmental toxins present in food, water and clothing and cell phones and [...] all compound each others' toxicity.
But the logistics and paper trail, and the actual bio-chemistry, that's where it breaks apart. I don't doubt for a second that there are plenty of oligarchs and politicians in the West, that would happily attempt an Endlösung to save the climate or whatever - just look at Canada's version of Aktion T4.
