Say you're watching a movie.
In that movie, a bunch of scientists develop a virus in a lab somewhere in Asia.
Simultaneously, one of those scientists, while working in a university lab on the east coast of the US, develops an effective treatment for the virus, but hides it from the world, except for a handful of people.
A few years later, mainly for political and ideological reasons, the virus is released on the world, wreaking havoc.
Then, a little known doctor with a family practice in upstate NY figures out LITERALLY the identical treatment to what that scientist in the university lab devised...all those years ago.
The doctor somehow reaches the president to tell him about this treatment.
The president attempts to tell the entire world, only to be muzzled by the famous doctor who funded those scientists who developed the virus in a lab, way back when.
Then the famous doctor, his scientist friends and the media embark on a campaign to discredit the treatment that was uncovered by this family doctor...a treatment THEY THEMSELVES DEVELOPED, way back when.
They even go so far as to conduct deliberately faulty studies, which then get retracted, but not before the media smear the treatment once and for all.
They do this in order to demonstrate that there is no effective available treatment...just so they can get emergency approval for an untested and dangerous technology.
THE SAME SCIENTISTS, who developed the virus and the REAL treatment---a treatment which they have effectively snuffed out of the public consciousness---with the help of media, politicians, big-tech and celebrities...embark on a campaign to coerce the entire world into injecting themselves with said technology.
Sadly, the family doctor passes away after a long battle with cancer...but the doctors brother and supporters continue to tell anyone who would listen about the treatment...and also about the sinister plot devised by the scientists.
The famous scientist and his friends, the media, politicians and celebrities continue pushing this technology...even as young, healthy people keep dropping like flies from "unknown causes".
The famous scientist is then deposed by lawyers working for attorney generals in the southern part of the US.
The mainstream media black this out and pretend like it never happened, but the American people get wind of it via social media.
When asked about the details of this scenario, including his relationship to all the scientists involved or 1am emails he wrote TO the scientists involved...his answers are either "I can't recall" or "I don't know this person" or "I never met this person in my life".

Sounds like something out of a Tom Clancy or John Grisham novel.
I'd certainly pay money to see this flick.
SPOILER ALERT:
We are all currently cast members in this movie.
The question you need to ask yourself is:
Do you want to be an extra, a bit part/cameo...or do you want a leading role?
