Instead of THE GUBBMINT being evil by LOCKING EVERYTHING DOWN in some scary QUARANTINE ZONE or the like, imagine a "got to build up zombie bite immunity" response, or one with pseudoscientific treatments, or pretty much anything so grillman can feel like things are back to normal while zombies are just a thing that continues happening.

The novel "World War Z an oral history of the zombie wars" (very little to do with the E N T E R T A I N T M E N T F R A N C H I S E) featured a hogwash vaccine. The interview with the Big Pharma CEO is presented as he is shoveling shit for a power plant under armed guard.

    There's a nice deconstruction of WWZ ongoing on SV.

    Lets Read: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

    It takes the form of a in-universe read through of the text, challenging the Hard Men Saved The World narrative as a piece of propaganda to support the US Junta and their overseas allies, by a survivor in Bristol. It reinterprets many events to actually make some kind of sense - North Korea isn't a spoopy megabunker, but close enough that propaganda can spin it that way. Yonkers was a deliberate destruction of units and officers who were considered unlikely to support abandoning half the country to die and couping the government.
