I never had any real opinion on the Fireflies because literally everybody in that game was a total fucking cartoon. The writing was not good, and it is an insanely overrated game. Of course the Fireflies are a cartoon too, because the game had absolutely zero subtlety to it.
Half the theory crafting on the Internet is Redditors spazzing out because "they'll become dictators and control people with the vaccine", ignoring the part where 99% of human history was made under the direction of "dictators".
And literally if anything could be assumed about "control" of the world in TLOU it would be that most of the survivors have to go because clearly nearly everybody you meet is for some reason a deranged retarded psychopath because everybody has this dumbass nihilistic idea that "post apocalypse" means everybody becomes a Mad Max savage.
Meanwhile humanity faced multiple plagues that killed huge percentages of the population and disrupted society and exactly zero times did everybody turn into frothing cannibals.
So yeah the writing pushed the idea that they were incompetent and couldn't make a cure because it's the same extremism every writer feels they need to make it obvious who the "good guys" are.
It's like the Neo Nazi gun store owner who randomly shows up in Falling Down in one of the dumbest scenes in movie history.

Because writers are terrified of writing a character like the Punisher who is supposed to be a villain but everybody knows he's right.
