Alan Krumweide is a character in the 2011 movie Contagion. He is played by Jude Law in the movie, and is a blogger that writes articles on the internet.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He perpetrated a fraud supposedly for the good of the public, but he downright started a conspiracy which lead to several crimes being committed by people that believed in him.
 * 2) He never had the virus, yet he lied to the public and fooled the people into believing that Forsythia was the cure for the virus by taking a dose after claiming he showed symptoms, which was a lie and he was already healthy. He gave many people false hope.
 * 3) Furthermore there is no explanation to why he lied to the public. Possibly for money, since he did profit off his scam.
 * 4) He has a massive ego, and he's such a pompous individual.
 * 5) He believed that the American government and the health organization was lying about how much they really knew about the virus, which was false.
 * 6) He was sure the vaccines for the virus might have side-effects such as autism or cancer; this means he thinks autism is a harmful disease.
 * 7) He's irritating and insufferable. He acts like he's right and never thinks he isn't.
 * 8) * He approached Dr. Sussman without making an appointment and talked to him while he was still on the phone with someone.
 * 9) * He threatened to sue a woman he was talking to, and was really unkind to her even though she showed no sign of hostility.
 * 10) He never showed remorse for lying to everyone about Forsythia. He just kept blogging after someone bailed him out of jail.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He's probably supposed to be unlikable.
 * 2) Jude Law portrays him very well.
