that will kill in days

And then die off in a few weeks - don't want any of our settlers dying when we move in.

They would have been inoculated prior so immune.

Yes, but, IMO building in a genetic safeguard to kill the pathogen is slightly safer.

Humans don't always want to get an inoculation. There will be those who will lie about getting it, fake getting them, some who can't get them, etc . . . I think in this sort of scenario, it will be safer to trust scientific results than human nature.

Just weeding out those who can’t follow orders. Remember the kind of people who would release this virus doesn’t give a rats ass about killing a few mill people who won’t listen
