Local Bipedal Sub-Group Permits Neural Inflammation via Preventable Bio-Agent

The bipedal inhabitants of the South Carolina landmass are currently experiencing a resurgence of a primitive viral agent. Despite having the bio-tech to prevent such occurrences, the local tribal entities have engaged in a peculiar form of posturing, prioritizing subjective belief systems over basic cellular integrity.

The result is a localized outbreak of the measles pathogen, which has begun to induce cranial inflammation in their offspring. It is fascinating to observe these organisms allow their most vulnerable units to suffer neural swelling because of archaic social rituals and a refusal to utilize established biological countermeasures. From a distance, the swelling of the brain housing suggests an evolutionary leap that is not actually happening; it is merely a physical side effect of their own systemic failure.

While they bicker over the allocation of their fictional resource credits and the validity of their ancestral superstitions, the virus continues its methodical deconstruction of their future labor-force. One wonders if the species truly desires survival or if they simply enjoy the drama of preventable extinction.
