I don't see a goal there. I can't even come up with a group- the people involved are too many.

These actions are being proposed, supported and implemented by people who oppose each other. Fauci has never fully called Trump out, and Trump hasn't fired him. Pelosi and McConnell managed to find something they could agree on well enough. Governors of all stripes have implemented restrictions, and have been supported by nearly all of their legislatures.

The number of people actually involved here is too great to be some secret group of conspirators, they're just our government- and as dysfunctional as we've made it.
