Attenuated viruses for vaccines are typically selectively bred (in a foriegn host), not engineered.
They also start with a know pathogen strain, are controlled to achieve the desired result (weakened for human hosts), and then injected. Entire process is controlled from beginning to end, none of it occurs in the wild.
