That is a lot less than then number of viruses and article linked "An estimated 10 nonillion (10 to the 31st power) individual viruses exist on our planet—enough to assign one to every star in the universe 100 million times over."

So we can easily give one IPv6 address to any star in the observable universe _OR_ one IPv6 address to any virus on our planet, but we can't possibly address via IPv6 every single virus in every possible planet.

Cool: I can make a lot of money selling a vaccine for each one of those.

Seriously though, has anyone considered the big-O complexity of the "vaccine per virus" approach to improving immunity?
