It is pure ego on our part to think they would be interested in us and engage in secret negotiations with world leaders. That would be like us opening secret communications with the Queen Bee of a backyard hive.

A beekeeper doesn't engage in conversation with his bees. He just harvests their honey. Who is to say the aliens/demons/whatchimacallits aren't harvesting us for something else?

[for something else?]

The vaccines were a marinade to make us more palatable to the aliens.
