Not very likely as they didn't have enough brain power to even understand what was happening to them as they were burned alive or blown apart when the asteroid/comet impacted at Chixalub.
Many of us (but not all) see what is happening but are frustrated by our inability to get others to see as well as our inability to get necessary changes made.

Democraps will never be held accountable for their crimes or their constant push to destroy the Constitution and America. Your dream is like dreaming about unicorns roaming the earth and farting beer and philly soft pretzels and cheese steak hoagies, and real east coast philly pizza to everyone that asks. Believe me I am asking! Damn this Hoth of a state, can't get a decent pizza, cheese steak, mention cheese steak hoagie they never heard of it. Pizza steak? Forget about it(in new york gangsta accent here) honest to the God pizza? We have a joke for what's called pizza out here. Wait, i think I saw a ton ton, I'll go shoot it. Probably taste better than any meat out here. Can't even get veal anymore WTF?

Honestly I wish we'd have some end of the world event where the smart people survive and the dumb people perish. I know that's hard to grasp because I consider myself a Christian. But in the end he's supposed to save those who believed through the trials and tribulations.
And all we have been asked to do is love God and love others. Every commandment is wrapped up in those two things, but folks will still ask, what am I supposed to do and what is the work of God so that I know I am on the narrow path. It was answered when they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”, and Jesus answered them “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”.....doesn't seem too much to ask of us, considering....

And therein lies the rub for me.
Like many of our founding fathers I am a deist. I see the beautiful design and symmetry of the universe and I find it impossible to deny the existence of a deity. On the other hand, the bible was written by men, and we've seen throughout history what lies men create to increase their wealth, power, status. I find enormously beautiful, engaging and exacting lessons for life in the scriptures, and I'm told they are inspired by God...but they were written by men...and men are known to lie even as they tell some truth.
I believe there is a God Almighty, with all my heart...that is written in the universe around me. But his son is but a tale told by men, and while I'm not a denizen of Missouri, I'm still a show me sort of soul...

I hear you, and it is good to struggle with the truth. But I tend to narrow it down when I start down the path you have mentioned, and narrowing it down for me is remembering that Jesus did exist, there is plenty of evidence for this from even the secular sources, He did have 12 disciples, and some of those disciples recorded their time with Him and made claims about Him. Even the secular sources agree with this. Even the Jews agree with this. Even the Jews agree He performed miracles no one had ever done, but rejected Him because of what He claimed about Himself. So in the end I have to ask, why did His disciples suffer horrible deaths proclaiming what some say was not true? They are the ones who were with Him and knew experientialy if what He sad and did were true...and they proclaimed it true. The next is; was Jesus a liar? I am in no way prepared to say yes and I have only interacted with a couple people in my life who have said He was, but they did so with no evidence only anger and hatefulness. In the end, we all choose.
If you were some evil despot wanting to rule a world of thralls wouldn't you want the most obedient and compliant ones as your herd?
Not advocating vaccines and maybe just being contrary....but wouldn't it be better...from an evil overlord POV...to vaccinate the sheep who cower and lick your boots...and then spread a virulent disease among the populous to wipe out the rebellious holdouts who would try to defy your rule?
Now I can see injecting them with chemicals to make the thralls more zombie-like and compliant...but kill them.....why would you want to do that?

Well yeah I can understand the merits of culling the herd...but it doesn't make sense to kill off the ones who are already trained to do exactly what you want them to do. The docile obedient ones are the ones you'd want to breed and perpetuate not the ones who refuse to go along with your orders and edicts.
It doesn't make sense to want to kill off the ones who stand in long lines to do exactly what you told them to do. The ones who refuse to obey and defy and question your commands are the ones who need to be eliminated from the equation...and I'm just saying vaccines just don't seem to be the ideal method for accomplishing that goal.
Any ruling elite will need obedient and healthy thralls to do the work that has to be done, now vaccines that the willing and obedient ones gladly line up for, would indeed be a good method for weeding out the unwilling and disobedient and potentially troublesome with a horrific plague.
Just a thought on how I'd do it if I was an evil overlord that wanted to rule the world. YMMV
