These are indiscriminate weapons which can easily wind up killing people who are not even involved in the conflict in question, and which can get out of control. An infectious disease could become established in the population and could continue to cause sickness and death even thousands of years beyond the time of the conflict in which it was released as a weapon. This is a crime against humanity. And poison gas blows away on the wind, and you really don't know where it is going to end up. It is also a horrible and cruel weapon. People exposed to phosgene in WW I never regained the ability to breathe normally. Bullets, at least, can be aimed at specific people, and probably won't cause a horrible, lingering death (although sometimes they do). War is not very nice.
