Almost certainly, they have plenty of extremely deadly things already created in the weapons lab. They needed this one to be new in order to be intentionally weak. The psyop part doesn't work if it's too strong, since they convince you to make small concessions after letting up the big one at the beginning.
Yeah that is a good point. I do wonder if they have deadlier strands they are going to release.
