Because the sheep who follow orders are just the beginning. Once population collapses children of men style, it'll be new sheep. Let's keep in mind that this is genetic tampering, which means they have the power to affect all offspring of the human race, which means they get everyone eventually, because it will be passed down the generations. That also means they can genetically introduce things that make your body need something only they can provide. So it's a simple case of be obedient....or else.
At that point, the only choice you get from them is to obey or die, regardless of your politics. Just look at venezuela. The people have been soo starved that they literally can't physically fight back if they wanted to. Meanwhile the military is well fed and beefy. Just look at the videos of the riots in venezuela. You'll see these well fed goons taking on these stick thin people. They're soo emaciated from starvation that they don't have the strength to do much.
By introducing a genetic illness, they can cripple every person, come up with a regiment to counteract it, and lead you like a horse on a stick to keep the supply coming. Your entire life will revolve around access to that medicine, and with social credit score, they'll decide who has access and how much. The people on the lower rungs will get just enough to keep them going. The people below that will get nothing and either be in a perpetual state of misery or left to die.
