Source for your first point? Josh Rogin, who wrote a book that covers the arc of events around COVID and the work at the Wuhan lab, says the opposite. He says the people doing GoF research generally consider counteracting the viruses to be not their department. However, he's more of an Asia expert, not a lab expert, so he could be wrong about this. That's why I wonder if your source is the same source I had originally when I had the same belief.. my source at the time was simply my own guess based on common sense, but according to Josh that's not how the research is set up.
