Why? That'd be the first thing we'd vaccinate for, given that capability.

- jcl 17y agoOnce you vaccinate for it, it becomes less deadly. Which means there is a new (computable) "most deadly" flu. And, presumably, there is an upper limit to the number of strains our immune systems can remember and defend against.
- Semiapies 17y agoPerhaps; on the other hand, once we have the capability to do something as hard as compute most-deadly-flu, we'll almost necessarily have the immunological understanding to vaccinate against very broad categories of diseases, not merely individual strains.
