I would presume the ideal super weapon would be a lethal airborne virus that only you had the vaccination for. It would decimate your enemy but leave all their infrastructure intact.

It wouldn't be too expensive to achieve. You would just need to find an existing virus and conduct gain of function research to make it more transmissible and more lethal.

Most of the countries that could develop and deploy such a bioweapon would need the labour as much as the infrastructure.

Pretty to think so--- supposing their AI/ML research was so limited that the were not planning automated manufacturing facilities.

Ideal if you could get most of your population to actually take the vaccine…

That can backfire pretty quickly, though. Viruses evolve, no vaccine is 100% effective, etc...
