The Undoing

"We intend to stop human reproduction for three generation. The busy, endless global assembly line of babies will grind to a halt."

- Kevin Christie, "Stay Alive, Jessica Hyde"

The Undoing' is a secretive plot by the Harvest to end the overpopulation of Earth. The plan is spearheaded by Dr. Kevin Christie, who believes the people of the world have great potential, if only the myriad problems caused by overpopulation can be solved.

The Harvest orchestrate an outbreak of a supposed flu, spread via kids visiting a traveling petting zoo, which is inevitably lethal. Based on this, parents and others begin clamoring for a vaccine, which supposedly Christie Labs has the exclusive rights too. In truth, the "flu" is actually a different virus entirely and the vaccine contains instead a compound which will sterilize anyone who is injected with it.
