Sorry. Twas time for me to sleep after my last post.
I'm not sure a cure will be found. I said an answer. Remember, the problem isn't the infection, it's the current number of zombies. There's just far too many of them for humanity to be safe, even if they no longer turn into them. A campaign to kill all walkers is just as much answer, though it is nigh impossible the way the world is in the series. Instead, all the living people need to learn how to prevent zombies while being on constant lookout for more.
This vaccine is too limited to represent true hope. It only works on newborn children. That mean every person still alive will still become zombies. It will take who knows how long before your scenario of a person dying alone and their zombie surprising people to no longer be a possibility. Thus, humanity will still need to learn how to deal with the infection for several more years. Brains will still need destruction until the uninfected greatly outnumber the infected. Humanity is more likely to die out before that happens unless they learn to deal with it, which has been my suggestion the whole time.
How many women will be having children in this environment? My guess is not many. It's too much of a risk. The pregnant woman slowly loses the ability to do things by herself. She needs more resources, especially food than normal. The childbirth itself can be fatal for both mother and child. When all is said and done, even if the child is born safely, they will cause even more danger with their instinct to cry for attention. I suppose women could be forced to get pregnant, but that would just open a whole other can of worms there. We've seen how tyrannies and dictatorships work in the Walking Dead.
So, pregnant women will either be at significant risk, or they will be in a secure community like Woodbury or Crawford. As we've seen, those places are not 100% secure. Ignorance and complacency doomed Crawford (never considered that living people may be able to cause more damage than zombies). Arrogance doomed Woodbury (a single person who thought he could take whatever he wanted caused a chain of events that got several of his people killed).
The vaccine isn't going to save anything. I'm not letting Clem die for so much nothing.
