some people don't vs some people doesn't

"Some people don't" is the proper phrasing. In English, when using the verb "do" to form negatives in the present simple tense, we use "don't" for all subjects except for the third person singular (he, she, it), for which we use "doesn't." Since "some people" is not a third person singular subject, we use "don't."
