Uh, no, they're only not quarantining or taking other measures. That is not the same as "trying to infect"
Some of your analysis is OK, but this statement is false. I don't hear of government agents with spray bottles of viral concoctins chasing down their subjects on the streets, or invading their homes, in order to infect them.
Governments murder people all the time, literally on news every day. Doesn't matter whether it's via spy poison dart umbrella, spraying humancide from a lorry in the streets, carpet bombing the "enemy", shooting sleepy people, stealing and starving them to death, etc. Rest assured, if govt has a gameable angle on plague, they're going to leverage it. History full of game examples.
