"Horrible virus used to cure xxx disease ends up destroying humanity" is becoming a common trope in fiction. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Passage, etc.
Fiction hasn't been accurate at predicting good things in the future, but it sure has been spot on when predicting the bad stuff. It feels like we're living in one of those frustrating horror films where the protagonists ignore obvious warning signs and put themselves in the worst possible situations.
