The other note I'd make is industrial vaccination capacity. We've gotten pretty damn good at identifying, synthesizing, manufacturing, and distributing influenza vaccines at scale on a yearly basis.
If a deadly influenza strain is in our future, we're decently prepared.
On the other hand, we haven't manufactured or administered human pox vaccinations at scale in... 50 years?
