Reality is a threat to conservatives. Denying reality, in any form, weakens the arguments against conservativism. Claiming untruths is a quick and dirty way to determining who is in and who is out.
Anyone out is the enemy, and therefore evil. Anything they do, say, or believe is evil because they did, said, or believed it.
Anyone who is in is good. Anything they do, say, or believe is good because they did, said, or believed it.
Some may die of preventable diseases, but that's a sacrifice the conservative doesn't even acknowledge because fuck anyone who isn't me.
Yeah, but it's a loss in terms of votes. You aren't going to win elections if the people who vote for you are dying out because of what you are telling them to avoid doing.
