I haven't read the comics but if they never know how it started, how can they create a vaccine for it? Or perhaps they never do and they just all die in the end?
If there's an ongoing theme in the comic (and TV series) it's about getting over the need to survive and and learn to start living and thrive. I think the remaining pockets of people have accepted there will be no cure or discovery of the cause. Find hope, adapt or die. I'm about 6-10 issues behind on the book, but what continues over and over is Kirkman introducing groups who have learned to adapt in their own unique ways.
I'm not sure the long-term plan for Fear the Walking Dead, bur currently I'm comparing them as:
TWD = The rebuilding of society / community
FtWD = The fall of society
If FtWD eventually starts covering the months/years past the outbreak, I'm not sure what will make that show any different than what's already been covered in TWD.
