If you want to get excited about the prospects for the future, don't limit yourself to thinking only about shingles. This system we have is really a "herpes franchise". Make a list of all the diseases that are caused by the various strains of the herpes virus and then you'll understand the universe of applications.
That's why the first one out of the box must work so well.
