Containment Protocols

IS-0093 may be stored under conventional pathogenic or infectious biohazard protocols. However, only those researchers who refuse to acknowledge its existence are permitted access to its containment cell.
Staff must be carefully vetted for belief, and any who accept the reality of this micro-organism are to prevented from working on, studying or otherwise investigating IS-0093.

Description

IS-0093, or the "Belief Virus" is a virus that only affect those who believe in its existence. Immunity from this virus is gained by not knowing about it, or outright refusing the possibility that it exist. As such, GATE researchers are kept in the dark about the virus.

This is Dr. Derek Manse. To this day, I have no idea why we persist in containing IS Oh-Nine-Three, when it does not exist. There is a shared delusion among certain staff, a conspiracy of foolishness. This is no place to go into the details, but I want to state clearly for the record: there is no disease we classify as IS Oh-Nine-Three, there is no such thing as a subjective infection, it was not created by Russian researchers. I am not choosing to believe this in order to protect myself. There is nothing to disbelieve.

[email protected] I'm not sure how to handle this. I wanted to send a note to all staff working with IS-0093, but ... well ... you know the problem. [email protected] I'm unaware of any problem. [email protected] Exactly, that's the point. It's impossible to even talk about it. The research is getting impossible. [email protected] We've established protocols. So long as no-one's informed, they're safe. Not talking about it is the point. Let alone vaccinating people. Rejdák knew what he was doing. Be patient. It may be slow, but it's worth the caution. Imagine what would happen if this thing got loose. [email protected] What thing? [email protected] Exactly.

Trivia

• Vaccination is noted as being prohibited because, counterintuitively, it would spread the virus by not only making people aware of it, but also by leading people to believe that it exists. Immunity comes from ignorance or disbelief of the virus, contrary to traditional diseases.
• The implied creator of the virus, Rejdák, is the real Czech scientist Zdeněk Rejdák, a strong proponent of psychotronics (the Soviet term for parapsychology).
