Shows have always mixed current events into things: look at Battlestar Galactica (new) constantly adding modern dilemmas such as torture etc..
A show capitalizing on paranoia regarding vaccinations is nothing new, it is simply opportunistic. Given H1N1 is relatively harmless I don't see the
point of getting the vaccine.
So, the real question is: Which seems more plausible? A TV writer has the inside knowledge on chemical weapon efforts to kill millions and is trying
to warn people by shoehorning it into a poor remake of a cult classic? or... The writers are trying to be relevant to current events and public fears?
