So how do you explain the miions of people yearly that survive encountering and getting infected by Influenza A H1YX or other types of Influenza, Adenoviruses etc, especially children being infected for the first time ever?
 
Also, Smallpox (Variola Maj./Min., Major is the really lethal one, Minor has a way smaller mortality) an inconvenience?
 
Do you know how much people spent, did and worked to finally eradicate it because it wasn’t just a inconvenience? It was like the main cause of death in europe before the 20th century and still killed millions in the 20th century, not even 100 years ago.
 
It’s simple Pathology, Pathogenesis and Immunology.
 
creatures who had been exposed to a disease and survived(or have been vaccinated against it) have defenses to deal with the disease. Creatures who have never been exposed to a certain disease at all are defenseless and the fatality rate is much higher
 
You contradict yourself. To develop natural antibodies and immunity you have to be exposed to the pathogen first, which in your words would mean certain death.
 
I don’t suppose you die every time you encounter a new strain of Influenza and get the common cold? This happens about 2 or 3 times per year to most of us.
 
Inoculation can happen through many ways. Exposure to a small amount of pathogen or damaged ones can lead to the development of natural immunity without the disease breaking out and showing symptoms.  
Vaccination uses this mechanism.
 
Innoculation also happens while being sick and the whole body is fighting the pathogen, which causes fever in the case of the common cold or flu, this is not caused by the pathogen itself, the other parts of the bodies defense system are so overwhelmed that it tries to make itself inhospitable for the pathogen and at the same time helps antibodies.
 
Some pathogens are pretty resilient to this and the body will damage itself by elevating the temperature further but that is a story for another time.
 
After the body has adapted to the pathogen, it gets rid of it and recovers. It is then immune for a timespan or even forever (well until death).
 
 
You always assume that we are not adapted to the pathogens, what if the pathogens are not adapted to us?  
What if organisms in their biosystem have a body temperature of 30°C and they simply can’t survive inside our 37°C bodies? It can go both ways you knowe.

Smallpox anyone? A disease that the European colonists were exposed to and had built immune defenses to and was a mild inconvenience to the europeans, was fatal to the native americans who had never been exposed to it. If we travel to other worlds with life, diseases that are a summer cold to the indigenous life forms would probably have a 100% fatality rate for us war of the worlds style until vaccines are developed to build immunity
 
Its simple biology, creatures who had been exposed to a disease and survived(or have been vaccinated against it) have defenses to deal with the disease. Creatures who have never been exposed to a certain disease at all are defenseless and the fatality rate is much higher

The pathogens might be incompatible with our biology or simply overwhelmed by our immune system (not having encountered a pathogen before doesn’t mean the immune system can’t handle it). Our immune system is quite capable at identifying and getting rid of foreign stuff.

remember what happened to the martians in the war of the worlds? they were absolutely REKT by something as simple as the common cold… it killed ALL of them. their immune system(or lack thereof) wasn’t prepared for a simple disease… if we visited other worlds we would have to get samples of foreign bacteria and make vaccines to help our bodies develop immunities to it

Scientists aren’t doing this. Everyone who knows how the uncertainty equation works knows it takes more energy than the universe has. You literally need to annihilate every atom in the universe with its antimatter counterpart and then you need some more energy.
