STILL TRYING HARD
The virus idea is a bit too sci-fi if you want it to be "realistic". There's no way to guarantee the virus won't mutate and also infect the people making it. Plus nobody wants to release a virus that'll kill them too. The real money is on causing mass starvation by shutting down trade. Blockade the British Isles and Japan for example and you've got 150,000,000 right there (assuming a degree of food independence will let them keep some of their population after the Great Hunger). Cities are another great way to do it. Just stop all food shipments and you've got 8 million dead in New York. It all adds up. Or, hell, just blockade oil shipments to countries with large industrialized agricultural industry and then let the tankers sail again when you've hit that the population you were looking for.
