I have no idea. But I see no reason to a-priori assume perfect targeting without a trial.
Supposedly, the Pandemrix fiasco happened because the antibodies generated by the vaccine cross reacted with some human proteins.
The lengthy drug approval regimen exists not because of some power drunk bureaucrats. It exists because of a long history of dangerous and ineffective drugs that looked really great in theory.
