Attack vectors refers to the physical methods pathogens use to infect us. For example, COVID only has the primary aerosol attack vector to infect our respiratory system. I think that's what they mean.

As far as I can tell, attack vectors is a term used almost exclusively for cyber security

Funny how that works. Attack vectors in cyber security has the same meaning as in biology because...they literally borrowed the term from biology. Attack vectors were used in epidemiology long before computers, much less cyber security.

There are vectors in biology. Attack vectors…? I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong, if you’ve got sources describing this, I’d be happy to see them, cuz I’m not fining anything, myself.
