In other news, Gutenberg's ghost acknowledges that the printing press increases the risk of misuse to create weapons, misinformation...
Oh no, now this website has information on how to kill someone.
I'm not a bioweapons expert, but I think there's a lot of equipment and materials required to build a bioweapon of sufficient lethality and efficacy.
Look at anthrax for an example of a bioweapon with only one of those.
IDK much about Botox as a weapon, but can you use it to deploy broadly? With ricin, that's just another poison, so how's that better than rat poison?
You could trivially cause enormous harm by sabotaging electrical distribution, water treatment, hospitals, airports, etc. Go to any food manufacturer/distributor and contaminate the products with listeria or such.
That's just a bad faith response.

That's the whole point, innit? You don't know how to do, so you can't. Publishing functioning recipes using easily accessed materials would provide you and countless others with a bio-weapon. Thus the publication is the problem, not the tech stack (internet, pcs, servers, etc.).
Therefore, OpenAI publishing risky information is equally at fault.
