>>, I could buy shares in a company which is working on sars vaccines, then do some private DNA manipulations on sars bugs which would keep the public in fear and buying the company's vaccines. <<

Is there an approved HIV vaccine? SARS CoVs mutate quite a bit. Add selection pressure if vaccines and there will be stronger selection of mutations. There are about 3 mutations per replication cycle. Your private DNA manipulators wouldn't be able to keep up with natural selection.
