if you're talking of shitty authoritarian regimes then a logic like theirs works

you quarantine entire cities at a time, push spyware to your citizens and monitor their every move and while you're at it you can keep gathering more information (other than for prosecution and profiling idk for what) and not have to worry about having a working vaccine

or something idk
