Very true, I forgot about how they use to lauch diseased and/or dead cows into castles to start plagues. Or dead bodies as well, and that list can go on for sometime.

Chemical weapons are indeed more scienced based, so I guess I can argue a small amount of scifi in the research done, but even that is still very small.

So yes if you use my standards for scifi then The Rock is scifi but after this conversation I've changed my opinion about RE, it is definitly more horror and fiction than scifi.
