I haven't read the books, and it's been forever since I saw the movie. BUT.. Why would someone take a medication for something they didn't have? Clearly we are not all that stupid. The only way to get literally everyone medicated is to do it in a way that they don't know they've been medicated. Was this their ultimate goal? I'm sure! But we free thinking humans, are smarter than that. The only way to do it is to give everyone cancer via the air we breath. Which is also probably how they will do it.
I think the premise was that those who had cancer took the specially formulated vaccine to cure their own existing cancer, but the vaccine utilized a type of virus that ended up spreading to everyone, wiping out the population quickly, except for a few who lived but mutated into a kind of monstrous albino cannibal creature that sleeps during the day and comes out at night to search for something to eat, as food was no longer being produced. (Haven't seen it since it came out, but that's what I remember.)

Like Covid , creates novel variants that cause new problems. But their chickens are coming home to roost.
