Yes, people recognize that nobody is immune. That is why if killing a threat is an option, it's been a go to move for humans and animals alike throughout the history.
We've been domesticated in large part by the abundance of comfort we happen to be enjoying in first world countries, but it's tenuous, and I'd say as a comparison with the rest of nature throughout the history of earth an anomaly.
