Aids and flu happens naturally, it is not created by man. It may or may not be more or less dangerous than any virus created by man. But, that does not mean that when creating something that is potentially dangerous you need to be very very careful, since you do have control over the creation.
Just because natural fires occur in the forest, it does not mean that we should not put out our own camp fires.
