The pool of susceptible patients is very low because so many are vaccinated now. Some of those feared virus's may have died out due to the absence of susceptible people. I have seen virus infections do this in animal populations. However, it's also likely that new viral diseases will turn up in the future due to the mutating ability of all virus strains. If people had to choose between vaccination or a high probability of death for their children, I doubt many parents would question the vaccination process. If the Bird flu becomes an world wide endemic I think people will be begging for a vaccination to be created against it.
