Biography
Alan was among the first individuals in San Francisco, California, to observe MEV-1-related deaths.
He claims the WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control are misleading the public about treatments for MEV-1 infection, and he was fixated on demonstrating that MEV-1 was a bioweapon used to generate widespread dread during Thanksgiving weekend. He promotes and sells forsythia, an unregulated herbal treatment, as the "cure" for MEV-1 when the virus spreads, and he blogs about taking it after exhibiting MEV-1 infection signs, informing readers that his survival will be proof positive of forsythia's efficacy. It is eventually discovered that he was never infected with MEV-1 after he is arrested on fraud and manslaughter charges.
