, author of the zombie plague novel “World War Z,” which was adapted as a 2013 film starring Brad Pitt.
“One of the reasons [COVID-19] has been such a devastating plague in the United States is it’s a generational problem,” Brooks said. “If this had hit us 40 years ago, there would have been enough Americans still alive and in positions of authority who still remember the dark days of polio and whooping cough — the pre-vaccine days when viruses and bacteria used to kill and cripple a large portion of our population.
Such an effort would not necessarily have to be pure propaganda, Brooks said. As an example, he referenced the TV show “Schoolhouse Rock!” which expressed core concepts about politics, history and mathematics to a child audience through songs. An overall appreciation for science needs to be stressed in today’s world, he added.
