Vaccines spreading as viruses
+0
−0
Sci-fi is full of examples of engineered diseases that spread as viruses and usually they are so powerful that they kill almost everyone, and the possible cure is always the slowest possible, vaccinating people one by one.
Are there any real-life examples where engineered viruses are used for good, as vaccines for a known disease or for some other good purpose?
If not are there any scientific reasons why that wouldn't be possible?
