Isn't that how the flu vaccine has always been created?  Controlled development trying to determine what it will look like months ahead of time and then building the vaccine against that?

A couple years before covid I remember we had a really bad flu season because they went in the wrong way with their prediction on how the virus would develop that year.

I think it's more like they'd analyze existing circulating strains and try to predict which one will become dominant during the flu season, and focus on that. You can still get that prediction wrong. I don't think artificially creating new strains was on the menu.
