* In a fridge logic-y sense of fridge horror, Dr. Hexall infecting herself to test the vaccine is treated as an awesome and heroic moment. In the film, it works, and the vaccine is able to be fast-tracked, saving millions of lives. But clinical trials exist for a reason- [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome if the vaccine hadn't worked, or caused severe side effects]], the scientist making the most progress is dead, and the setback could cause millions of deaths, instead.

** To add onto this, in the language of flowers, yellow flowers are classically known to mean betrayal. And Krumwiede's claim about Forsythia being a cure can be seen as a mass betrayal to everyone who reads his content.

** The researcher testing the vaccine on herself doesn't mean there wouldn't be clinical trials. It may have accelerated the process or instilled better confidence in the vaccine, but one person's experience would not be reason enough to start distributing it worldwide.

* Krumwiede says that the real cure could have bad effects and cause death further down the line. He's supposed to be grasping for some justification to explain why he would lie about the cure. However, since the researcher injected herself to make a cure without clinical trials, he could possibly be completely right.
