In the 23rd Century they'd be good in any case. I'm sure the medtech exists to repair bad gene stuff, and for diversity they could always ship in some donated sperm and eggs to add some genetic variety. Assuming more people didn't just move there.

... The whole reason the Chapel is there is because they wanted modern medicine
Clearly even by the time of SNW Starfleet has already been developing weapons specifically for the Gorn. I'd imagine by Arena that they've been used on the Gorn and that factored into them running.Given what we've seen and La'an's breathless exhortations about how the Gorn hunt and don't give up, one has to wonder why the Gorn flee the Enterprise after leveling Cestus III in Arena. Just sayin'.
Sounds like something came up that they weren't already inoculated for when they started their trip to the new planet.
Or perhaps it was just children actually born on the planet that needed the shots.
I'm really disappointed this ended on a cliff hanger.
That being said, it was pretty good for half-a-story. I want to say more but I still can't get over the cliff-hanger and the incomplete story. Well, at least the Gorn in spacesuits was cool.

Who says they're avoiding either?
Did anyone say there were no transporters on the planet? Not that they had many places to go, down there. And vaccines are medicine, they seemed cool with vaccines.
Even before I knew it was used in Reacher, I just assumed the set was a 20th/21st century town... the set design didn't make it look like anything else to me at least.
I mean, I'll admit that it's not clear how any of this works. In Picard S3, Crusher was smuggling medical supplies to a colony and bribing Fenris Rangers. But in the limited lore building they did for the episode, the Captain's log tells you that these people want to live in this "Ren Faire" planet and cosplay as 20th century Americans. So you kind of infer they're really into it... otherwise, why would you build a town based on one of the most inefficient layouts of city planning known to human history?
It makes you wonder if all the "grape girls" on Boimler's farm are just there because they want a piece of Bradford.Kinda feels like having a Vineyard, having machines and 'workers', but you actually press a button and poof the grapes are transported off the vine.
Are any people really necessary if you're being honest with yourself there Jean-Luc...
Yup. Or a new vaccine was developed since they left that they wanted. Really just an excuse to have Chapel in the opening scene. Regardless, they weren't avoiding modern health care. Probably just wanted their own space and a small community instead of living in an over populated and developed core world.
Personally, I hate cities. I've lived in the country most of my life, my current stretch in a small city is one of the longest of my life and it's because of covid/divorce. I can't wait to get out into the country again. But the housing market sucks.
Plenty of reptilian/amphibious/insect life on Earth dramatically change their morphology during the phases of their life cycle. I don't find it hard to believe at all that alien species could do the same!
I mean, the world building is so light that for me it's just one of those things that's easy to nitpick.
Are they the prepper off the grid types who want to be cut off from civilization? Elaborate cosplayers like the people on Lower Decks who founded a society on a planet with dragons? Tom Paris-like fanboys who really love Ohio?
You have magical boxes that can take you anywhere you want to go, make you anything you want to eat, wear, use, consume, but you want to open a barber shop in a town where you have to drive because US cities aren't designed to be walkable.
I suppose I'm half joking because to me it really is the equivalent of the Nazi Planet or the Old West Planet, but it's just funny to think about.
Also, for me, just the idea of colonizers.
So a ship stops by with the latest in medical care, like a yearly booster to.. whatever..
Transport to Where?? There appears to be no infrastructure other than a town and some farms so far. No ships in orbit, maybe some shuttles somewhere, no space station. Can take a shuttle to go to anywhere else on the planet. Its a starting colony.
Expect them to live in tents or temp housing for?? Years? They built up a small town center.. The end.
Really? You're still calling DIS by that other name? Pretty childish.
Time to grow up man!
Its a Colony, Not like they displaced a sentient species on that planet.. We need to get off this world one day.. before the big ball of fire in the sky grows meanly..
These folks are probably part of the same movement that populated Omicron Delta. Living in wooden houses with picket fences and growing corn.
Honestly, why would people who wanted to live in Earth's magic tech paradise colonize worlds outside the Federation to begin with?
My POV is colored by the history of my own nation: just about every European who came here was either someone that they didn't want in Europe or someone who didn't want to be in Europe. And in pretty short order we stopped being Europeans.

I'm reminded of the fact that language can change a thing without ever changing an element about a thing.
"I hate these guys for being disgusting colonizers spreading across the galaxy."
Vs.
"I hate these guys for being disgusting immigrants spreading across the galaxy."
