undergrad in molecular biology = 4k. assuming eg CS undergrads don't attend en-masse molecular biology classes and/or have lab access.

edit: and one obvious error, it's graduates with molecular biology degrees, presumably the undergrad population is ~5x larger, for a total of 20k. and presumably the world is larger, so we can throw in another ~5x factor for a total of 100k. still, /orders of magnitude/ smaller than world population with access to the Internet.

there are a /lot/ of broken people in the world. i'd sleep more comfortable they don't get access to step by step instructions in their local language on how to design and spread the next .*pox plague at the cost less than eg a motorcycle.

My majors weren't in molecular biology, just Biotech and Biology. I actually learned viral titering and expansion in cell culture on the job, but nearly every bio undergrad will get a basic intro to cell culture techniques. The specific techniques for amplifying a virus are open to anyone with decent search skills, e.g. https://www.addgene.org/protocols/#virus
