The After the End Times crew makes progress. ![]() The CDC is strongly motivated to prevent that from happening. They want to end the conspiracy by making it public, making it news. And in a general sense, the plot here hangs together pretty well: the After the End Times crew has discovered that the CDC is at the center of a massive, evil conspiracy. And it makes sense that once an organization has chosen a direction that requires a lot of lying and secrecy, it will foster a pretty toxic environment where the wrong sort of people will thrive. I can see a "cold calculation" (to use Mira Grant's phrase) there, where the CDC believes their way will save more lives in the long run. They see the inevitable result - "Maybe this person can recover from amplification, maybe I shouldn't shoot them in the head, oops, now I'm a zombie too!" - and it is awful. ![]() They can't afford a partial cure of Kellis-Amberlee. Now, I actually follow the logic that led the CDC to their state of villainy pretty well.
