Even a bio-engineered weapon is going to have some parties in the world population that are immune. The survivors of the Black Plague had a 32 sequence deletion in the coding for a receptor site. That was enough to prevent susceptibility to the illness. People that are homozygous for this deletion are also "immune" to attack from certain varieties of HIV. These insights came during the SARS outbreak last year. The asian population that was hit so hard by SARS has a corresponding receptor with higher than normal affinity for binding the virus.
