44. A biological attack can kill a lot of people, but it targets only humans...
A nuclear bomb kills the people, causes massive infrastructure damage, leaves fallout that can poison the land for generations, leads to fall out clouds that can kill people in nations that are friendly or neutral.

Yes, a massive biological attack is horrific, but a nuclear strike will continue to kill long after the people who fought the war are dust.

If we want a big boom, there is always MOAB (Mother of all Bombs) with 18,700 pounds of explosives. We are capable of leveling entires cities with conventional weapons. A nuclear counterstrike to a biological attack isn't necessary. We can kill all the people we want conventionally.
