Actually, the Lower Decks series makes numerous references to previous series on an ongoing basis and should be regarded as a spoiler.

I would recommend especially The Next Generation before Lower Decks.

For a precedent, consider how we treat nonhuman animals.

We would shamelessly obliterate the virus.

And yes, of course we're hypocrites with a human-caused mass extinction event.

I suspect the Tibetan Buddhist understanding of karma as something you impose upon yourself is oddly appropriate here.

That may have been the quote I was thinking of. I was thinking Josef Stalin had said something similar but it turns out even that's uncertain.

Some might notice an analogy in which if you kill a single man, you're a murderer; kill millions and you're a politician.
