It seems the general goal could be cashed out in simple ways, with biochemistry, epidemeology, and a (potentially flawed) measure of "health".

I think you're sneaking in a lot with the measure of health. As far as I can see, the only reason its dangerous is because it caches out in the real world, on the real broad population rather than a simulation. Having the AI reason about a drugs effects on a real world population definitely seems like a general skill, not a narrow skill.
