The most interesting thing learned in the past year is that viruses are not biological organisms. No one knows how they got started. They are some sort of otherworldly code whose only purpose in life is to find healthy biological organisms and disrupt or destroy them.
“World War Z,” the 2013 virus thriller starring Brad Pitt, gets the otherworldly part right. And it brilliantly portrays and portends the Wuhan Virus Damnpanic that has swept the world this year. In “Z” infected humans are a metaphor for viruses themselves, each with one purpose: find another, healthy human and ruin him. If there’s not one, they just stand there, waiting for one. Once a healthy host is detected, they attack it like a cruise missile and within seconds, a healthy human host becomes another virus.
Everything else is laughably wrong.
The first thing we learn is that the President has died and it’s up to a lone emissary from the United Nations (UN) to find a solution to the existential threat to humanity. This he does with the help of the World Health Organization (WHO). In reality this year, the WHO was complicit with the Chinese Communist Party (CPP) in covering up the Covid 19 virus. And the real President, who should have been vulnerable by age and health standards and did get infected, was back in action in no time.
A scientist in “Z” mentions another virus that originated in Taiwan. Viruses do not typically (if ever) originate in Taiwan. Taiwan is a free democratic republic and it has been an example to the world of how to squelch the virus. It seems in fact that most known viruses originate in fascist Red China, and in reality this year, the CPP concealed the existence of Covid 19, promoting its spread around the world by restricting travel within Red China but allowing travel outside the country.
In real life it was not a bogus international public health organization like the WHO that found an antidote to the virus as in the movie, but capitalist pharmaceutical companies which came up with therapeutics and now a vaccine to neutralize it. It was not a UN hero but the Trump administration that created Operation Warp Speed.
Oh, and Israel’s walls keep the virus out quite well in the movie until the liberals get carried away letting refugees in and the virus gets so excited by the noise that it surmounts the wall. The screenwriters had no idea they were going off-message, so please don’t put them in reeducation camps. Trump didn’t start pushing the wall until 2016.
People were dying left and right in “Z.” Not so much with the real virus. The media has gone to great lengths to scare the bejeezus out of everybody and certain corrupt health officials have buggered the statistics to keep the numbers moving up, yet the actual death rate is hardly more than a bad flu season.
“World War Z” was in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. It was Saturday night’s entertainment. Not too bad for four bucks. It might bring back a dollar or two at McKay’s.
