It mutates a lot, it's one mean mother.
The bigger question is why the Phage didn't infect everyone else, but the easy answer is because they didn't want it to take over the entire series.

Well, the vidiians seem to be experts in medicine and at the same time complete idiots. I guess it's the best we can expect from people (the writers) who are as lazy as they are ignorant.
I don't really know if it's true or not but that's what he said. Given the year of the original air date I could buy it.
You can be experts at something without being super-geniuses. This is just Voyager being singled out for abuse again when plenty of other Trek aliens fall apart upon analysis too.
Voyager is only singled out because it happens much more often on Voyager than on any other start trek show.
That's fairly typical. You can be an expert in your particular area but not know anyting else. I think we all know people in real life, for example, that have tons of book smarts but have no common sense.
There are plenty of illiterates without an ounce of common sense.
of course there are. But that has nothing to do with this particular example does it?
It's just that people think that in order to be brilliant at one thing you have to be deficient at another. That's usually wrong.
No, it doesn't have to be that way, but sometimes it is
Well, everything happens, sometimes.
True. In this particular instance we are talking about people who have a lot of knowledge in one specific area but lack knowledge in another. That is not uncommon
Well, they had two thousand years to explore every avenue. One would think they would have done a thorough job.
Just to clarify, when you say they are idiots, what do you mean by that. To me they seemed intelligent..misguided and desperate but they didn't seem like idiots
Because there are far better alternatives to stealing people's organs.
I imagine they tried many other things before resorting to organ harvesting
That's what puzzles me.
Yeah I don't disagree. I would be currious to know more about their history
Well, I guess, we'll never know.
Probably not, unless it's in one of the novels
