Did you ever notice that in Rajin the people she scans are all people recovering from exposure to the alien chicken-people virus from the episode before? They certainly spend a lot of time setting up that they're still suffering after-effects in the beginning of the episode. I wonder if they were trying to set up a reason for the bio-weapon to fail, only they didn't end up needing to use it?
What an incredibly fascinating idea. Why do you think the bioweapon would fail if the info Raijiin got was from people who'd just recovered from a viral infection? That wouldn't change their basic genetic structure and their susceptibility to other viruses. What's the mechanism you're thinking of?
I have no idea -- I just notice that they put a lot of effort into setting it up. And then they ended with this long focus on the little box with the alien virus in it. To me this screams "gun on the mantlepiece, to be used in a later act." Like that little bit of virus might somehow come in really handy (or prove really dangerous).
I don't claim to understand alien mutagenic viruses or their purposes. That's Phlox's job.
