I’m not a poseik, but my assumption was that disease was rare enough that it would fall under the גדר of an uncommon danger, and that we don’t need to let the fear of that rare sickness stop our avodah. As far as I know, there’s a larger possibility a kid could chas v’shalom die in a car accident, but we’re not going to say “don’t ever drive kids to yeshiva.” Hashem wants us to take precautions against COMMON dangers. Taking precautions about every little tiny thing shows a lack of bittachon. Again, I’m not sure if this disease is common enough, but I was under the assumption it’s not.
