Why make a chemical weapon when you can just tweak a virus which self-replicates?

BA.2 is even more infectious than BA.1 which is saying something, imagine an engineered BA.3 with even more spread and then make it as even more deadly. You might even be able to target it to one race or region if there is a gene specific to that area.

Always hoped the future would be Star-Trek-like but it seems all it takes is one dictator or terrorist to end the world, slowly at first but then it would double every other day and impossible to stop.

If you make it too deadly, maybe it doesn't spread as far (because the hosts die). Make it just the right amount of deadly!
