I take it that you're assuming a vaccine will be developed quickly, mass produced, and widely distributed before a deadly virus spreads. HIV was first recognized 28 years ago, and there's still no vaccine for it.
If HIV were less difficult to contract it could have easily killed 2 billion versus the 25 million toll to date.
