When "pandemic fatigue" (see also: the bystander effect) results in outcomes that can accurately be described as eugenics -- no matter how passive the form -- then succumbing to pandemic fatigue is succumbing to eugenics
Someone who doesn't intend to be a eugenicist can nevertheless express eugenic behavior by failing to resolve the cognitive dissonance of knowing better but failing to act accordingly
Ultimately, if someone's belief in harm reduction stops at their comfort zone, that's just a belief in making themself feel better
