Why are the flood not affected by the firing of the Halos?

If the Chief or anyone else can kill them with weapons, why will the Halos not work on them, yet on everyone else?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo fires a burst of cross-phased neutrinos tuned to possess a harmonic frequency that targets and shuts down certain neurological functions in organic races capable of supporting the Flood cell. The Flood do not have a nervous system, and so are not affected by the firing.

Basically what above said. It wipes out all intelligent life of sufficent mass to support the flood so they have no food source and hopefully die. The Shield worlds must be inpenetrable to these bursts thus protect the people inside.

I wake up to find myself
After all these years
And where all the time has gone
Still seems so unclear
