    Contagion popped up on my recs so I turned it on and I forgot that in this movie, people want the vaccine for the pandemic so badly that they're like, kidnapping the family of CDC members and holding them hostage to get doses. 2011 had a lot more faith in us than we deserved.

    This was a plot point in Contagion, a film from back in 2011 when we all took for granted that a government official secretly protecting his family from danger while lying to the public about it was a scandal.

    One of the thing I loved about the movie Contagion was that it contrasted government/academic scientists/doctors (good) with a wellness industry grifter (bad) and I think we need a lot more of that in pop culture

    In the same way that the covid pandemic sparked interest in the movie Contagion, what’s happening in the reflecting pool could reinvigorate the discourse around the Mickey Rooney/Buddy Hackett opus, Everything’s Ducky.

    Yeah, Contagion is sci-fi, because in the movie, they actually try to prevent transmission, work on a neutralizing vaccine and only waited until everyone is immunized to reopen society.

    This was the disease in the Soderbergh movie "Contagion" from 2011 ... which got a LOT right about deadly pandemics, including the rise of cynical conspiracy theorists making money off of false cures. It just didn't predict that they'd take total control of the United States.

    Soderbergh's movie Contagion didn't think of the idea that the head of the US govt health services would be a fan of rotten whale juice, who is also a fan of measles killing children. Good luck. Vaccinate your kids before RFKJr declares vaccines illegal. No for serious. Vaccinate your kids.
