Yea, if anything it underestimated how many people would be willing dedicate themselves to becoming full time plague spreaders.

No, not at all like COVID. Don't confuse ignorance for malice. The issue with COVID was skeptics who only consumed right-wing propoganda downplaying the severity of the virus. There were no skeptics in the Corrupted Blood incident, people were maliciously trying to spread the virus knowing that it would kill other people.

The vast majority of COVID skeptics wernt really skeptical, they were scared and thought they could change reality by denying it.
