Anyway, the stinger ends with the executed doctor reanimating as a zombie and trying to escape the lab, though Gimple was quick to shoot down theories about her being a new, "variant" breed of Walker. A variant mutation of an already fatal virus? Geez, Walking Dead. The French scientist is shot dead as the scene cuts back to Jenner making mention of "variant cohorts" discovered by the European team. That might be true, but I wouldn't say it's true because it's painted." But I guess I would say, don't just flatly believe everything you read scrolled in paint.
