Biological weapons have been a huge joke. Bombs are far more dangerous and far more effective.
The anthrax attacks on this country coordinated by "master scientists" who could "kill thousands" killed five people in total.
There was a chemical weapon used on a subway in Japan (about as crowded of an area as you can get) with an extremely toxic gas. Twelve people died. A bomb would have easily killed four to twenty times as many people if it would have been set off at the same time.
Al Qaeda was lacing some of its bombs with chlorine in 2006 and 2007, but they stopped because it really did little else than make people sick. People were dying from the bomb blast, not the chlorine. They no longer do this at all.
Biological weapons are largely ineffective and can't do anything that a bomb wouldn't accomplish equally or more effectively.
This article has a lot of the death toll numbers if you don't believe me.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
