Why don't rivaling countries actively use diseases against each other? Just how hard is to smuggle a vial of some spooky strain to another continent?
We already do this in Africa, they only keep reproducing like animals
the seductive jewess is the great bioweapon

Bioterrorism exists.
Bio warfare exists.
Ill give you one example but there are countless ones.
Mongols would fling plague infested rats and bodies over anatolian and balkan cities to infect the population including their armies until they were weakened enough to be invaded.
Diseases themselves are hard to contain especially in contemporary society with globalization. Russia could create a super resistant virus and spread it to europe but it would be impossible for them to keep it out of their own country. It could spread from animals or humans.

>Plague one country
>In a few days the plague finds itself back in your country
It's the dumbest shit you could do.

If you are not in outright war, there could be a chance that the citizenry of rivaling nations may travel to the other while infected.
Having preventative measures would probably reveal the intrigue,
and having a cure and not sharing it would spark international outrage.

People tried it.
It's not more common as by the time people had the understanding required to safely and effectively weaponise diseases, the cleanliness of society and advance of medicine had rendered them not very effective.
>Oh no someone has dropped bubonic plague bombs on our cities.
>Okay, hand out some antibiotics, only 2% of the population will die. Now fire bomb their city.
It's hard to train a virus to recognize whose uniform is whose.
