Plague-level biological warfare has only been conducted by state entities, and despite several terrorist states possessing immense nuclear arsenals, there has not been a super war. There is no reason to believe DIY biologists are going to engineer a superplague in their kitchen laboratories. This is clearly a bullshit justification to further centralize power in the hands of pharmaceutical companies and terrorist organizations such as the US government.
