As far as what vaccines I'd like to see developed, the only real answer is HIV. It's orders of magnitude more widespread than any other deadly viral disease.
Well, if anybody could come up with category-based vaccines, that'd be cool, too -- one vaccine that protected you against the entire CATEGORY of influenza viruses, that would be cool. And a vaccine against the entire category of rhinoviruses would be convenient.
