You were right to correct me on the type of weapons.
I am sure much good will come of this information, and I in no way would suggest we halt scientific progress. The worries I have are that for every disease we toil away at and manage to find a cure for, some well-funded nutcase could create another more deadly disease to take its place.
I believe it is beneficial to share this knowledge with all scientific communities, being it affects every one of us, but there should be some sort of control on the process. In the wrong hands, this information could accelerate the already alarming increase of biological weapons which threaten humanity.
