The scientific technology in the 1970's was nowhere near capable of engineering a completely new virus and it still isn't there today. At best, viruses can be engineered to be more pathogenic. Also, it was only recently that existing viruses whose genes and proteins are well understood could be made by "incubating" all of the correct genes in a tube to yield whole virions.

But don't let science get in the way of your conspiracy theories.
