“…Resultado de ello, se llevó a cabo la vacunación masiva; es la tercera y cuarta similitud con un posible apocalipsis zombi. La rápida propagación y la eliminación -como medio de control-, donde los humanos supervivientes que no tengan la capacidad de vacunación masiva es sacrificar a los zombis, como la única opción, para garantizar su supervivencia (Nasiruddin et al 2013). El tratamiento es paliativo y sintomático, con lo que se busca evitar el sufrimiento innecesario al paciente y la vacunación.…”
