It has to be, if the message is that obscured threat is worse than the overt.
At some point, I wonder what is really in the work, and how much is this just the critics projecting their own thoughts onto it.

If the alien virus is worse, does that negate any and all (lesser bad) commentary? Likewise, I don't bother comparing which is worse of humans or zombies in Walking Dead. The zombies are an exciting (debatable now) fictional backdrop to the anthropological exploration.
