No, you can't. Comparable plugins don't exist.

Also the quality of vscode is strictly worse. I tried it a few years ago and syntax highlighting a basic python program using stock vscode would get stuck (highlighting the wrong characters in random colors) in nondeterministic ways. I tried it again recently and I still see syntax highlighting bugs. Vim does a better job.
