This is how I know you're just regurgitating things from wikipedia with no true comprehension. The pathogen that you attenuate is a virus. You don't attenuate a bacteria, the body can kill bacteria whether they're live or dead. The only thing that is or has ever been necessary to "attenuate" is a virus, so the body can develop an immunity to it before it gains access to the human's DNA.
This is because bacterial infections are things that can be killed, and once killed, are gone. A virus incorporates its RNA into human DNA, and remains forever.
You'll find remnants of viral DNA in the genome of every species.
