I was wondering how easy is to create an artificial virus in the lab. If this virus is also dangerous it can become a threat or a weapon for a group of people, or even for the humanity itself. If we suppose that such a virus is created it would be practically impossible to create a vaccine in time, as a measure of defense. So, I was wondering what would be our defence against a deliberate or accidental release of a deadly virus (or any other dangerous biological weapon) on Earth?

It has to be fairly easy at the moment and it will become exponentially easier in the future for a wider range of people. This is very sad and dangerous indeed. Our best defence would be to ethically educate our kids, and to apply extremely strict measures in the labs to avoid an accidental leakage of a pathogen.
