Yes pretty much. The flood are fully adaptable to any life form they come across, as they were the creators of all life in the cosmos in their past forms. Any and all biological matter is consumable by them.
Destroying their own stuff when infected is literally what everyone always does again the flood. The Forerunners were casually nuking star systems with forced supernova just at the beginning of a Flood attack. Still didn't stop it.

Yes but they didn't create the yuuzhong vong. They yuuzhong vong have their own super disease. How do we know this disease isn't the weapon need to defeat the flood? The ancient humans almost defeated the flood, how come a a galaxy armed with the force couldn't do the same?

Edited by ROBERTO jh: 11/26/2014 6:48:46 PMYou'd have to somehow substantiate the claim that they could defeat the Flood. The flood didn't lose, they retreated on purpose to make the humans think they found a cure. This lead the Forerunners to think they found a cure, this preserving humanity. The Flood knew the Forerunners were going to go to war with mankind and wipe them out eventually, so they convinced both sides that humanity held a valuable secret by pretending to back down against a cure that never actually worked. This saved humanity and allowed the Flood to enact it's punishment of the Forerunners for defying the Precursors, therefore allowing humanity the freedom to ascend. The entire story with the Flood has them saving the human race, as we were the Precursors chosen species. They even ended the Covenant War for us, by initiating the events that would lead to the Ring be destroyed and the Covenant fracturing. These are the kinds of master minds you are dealing with

Not how I read it. I read the the ancient humans had almost developed a means to fight the flood, but were wiped out by the forerunners first.

The ancient humans were fleeing the Flood, not beating them. And useless hypotheticals don't matter. I could easily come up with something similar to beat SW at any turn, but that stuff isn't relevant to this conversation.
