"If you opened the decoy vault, you could find a freezer full of vials labeled SMALLPOX that held nothing but vaccine-a raised middle finger from the CDC to a feckless small pox thief"

visualizing this made me laugh

left off of “rahima, to bhola island”

enjoying the stories!! as usual, immersed in the conversational tone the author uses to describe the epidemics/origins of pox viruses. it flows quite nice

“eradicating smallpox was the most fun I ever had”

My fathers type of statement w/ the west african ebola epidemic 😭😭😭 i miss reading richard prestons books abt epidemics 😭😭🙏

oh my god edward jenner 😻

taking me back to hs freshman yr

celebration reading since i just found out i got into a masters program for epidemiology 😃

i stopped reading giant fucking books i cannot physically hold up concerning a mans sex life , prostate orgasms w strippers and pondering abt houses . i have come back to richard prestons great handheld books of normal length ! and with my childish need for diseases, hotzones, and of course : demons in the freezer

why is she giving him a prostate orgasm and why do i have to read this

i realize this book is not in my taste tbh😭 the horror doesnt hit (esp the 4th wall breaks) + the story is not as interesting as i expected??? AND WHY IS IT SO FUCKING LONG

“..yet Chad and Daisy’s voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer.”

“stop drilling holes in my walls” 😭

NAVIDSON IS FINALLY GOING TO MEASURE THE HOUSE☝️☝️☝️☝️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️

“Some of these came from community centers, the Braille Institute, or were just volunteers from USC, UCLA or Santa Monica College.”

“More than likely daydreaming about Thumper. This will probably really wig you out, I don’t care, but one night I even rented Bambi and got a hard on. That’s how bad I had it for her.”

“I am a normal paranoid schizophrenic, he said to himself, and he almost smiled, ”

“He glanced overat Austen, and he realized that he had stopped thinking of her strictly in professional terms, and it bothered him.”

oh hell no they both crushin on each other

“Austen doodled with a pencil on her map of the city. 'You know, I've been thinking ... there's such a tight cluster of cases here.”....“ 'There's a pattern here.”

dr austen thinks shes some john snow ah

“You're fired,' Hertog snapped. 'You can't fire me, I'm retired.”

LOL

“The news media is starting to go berserk,' Jack Hertog said.".....“What if we've just been bombed with a chemical weapon?”

ok bro werent you saying how the pathologists/doctors were over exaggerating and they should absolutely not receive government funding to prevent the spread of infection

what an asshole.........

“It beeped. The screen read 'COBRA.”

“Once again, Littleberry had gone AWOL.”

he knows the method ........ hes onto something

“She could see the muscles of his back and shoulders through his jacket. She thought: He's very gentle. Abruptly she realized that she had stopped seeing Hopkins in a purely professional way. This did not seem to be the moment for that kind of thing,....”

ok dr austen get your priorities straight

“This story you hear about how smallpox is just kept in one freezer in Russia today? Complete bullshit. The Russian Ministry of Defense is keeping seed stocks of smallpox virus at multiple locations in military superfreezers.”

some would say its as if theres a demon in the freezer ..........

“There's a horrible virus in there, isn't there?' 'We've been all right, so far,' Tanaka said. ”

says the lady who got bitten by a zombie virus infected rat a few pages back................

“ The Bureau supplies take-out food to safe houses and stakeouts, since the agents don't have time to prepare their own food or to go out to a restaurant (eating in a restaurant also might draw attention to them).”

pentagon pizza theory...........

“..I will not tell anyone. Because they'll take me off the investigation, and this is my first big case.”


the way every pathologist says something on the lines of this reasoning when they get exposed to the virus 😭

“It passed through Kly's neck with a wet sound, almost beheading him”
