See I think they absolutely were, because I do think it's thematically richer to treat the Fireflies as just another broken grief response.

"Trying to solve problems" isn't what the Fireflies are doing, they are *causing* problems. They blow up checkpoints, they torture people, they destabilize enclaves and turn them into bandits or worse. The vaccine is treated by them as a heroic reversal; it's not.

That's what I'm saying, they're NOT. They're not building ANYTHING. No communities, no infrastructure, no trade, no dependable food supplies, no *nothing*. They're a bunch of bandits with delusions of morality holed up in an abandoned hospital with ONE surgeon.

I'm saying the manufacture of a cure is nowhere NEAR the most pressing issue facing society, but it fills a vast *symbolic* role in their world by promising them a return to the Good Old Days.

Yeah the idea that we can wait for a vaccine until civilization is rebuilt is kind of insane The lack of a vaccine is one of the single biggest obstacles to rebuilding civilization All the resources you need to do any of that shit are covered with spores

Jerry is going to die someday sooner or later, all that equipment is going to break down and go bad, and you can't just trust that after 200 years or whatever society will magically invent all the tools you need to synthesize a vaccine again
