World War Z Summary

In the section blame in the book world war z there is an interview  in an outpost in Antarctica. The interviewer interviews a man mister scott. During this interview he talks about things like economics and how it works. He talks about how “fear” is the greatest thing to use against a consumer. He discusses how he used fear to get people to buy a vaccine. Because of the fear of what was known at the time as “rabies”. The vaccine was literally only able to cure rabies and the plague that the real disease was, was not rabies so in it all the vaccine didn’t really work. The name of this vaccine was phalanx . I feel as though this antidote “phalanx”, will have a larger role later on in the text. In other sections of the book it was already discussed that this very vaccine was used to calm the people of america down and not totally freak out about the “outbreak” that was going on. Phalanx was a false cure for the disease that is still going on, however at the time it helped maintain order and civilization which will affect the book later on in many ways.
