The theory is that they'll better be able to fight future variations of X-disease because they've been able to study it. Personally, I think that's a bunch of bs. The stuff they're doing to these diseases isn't likely to occur naturally. I suppose you could make the argument they're preparing to stop some possible bio-weapon that might be created. I also think a lot of it has to do with money. In Pfizer's case they're wanting to get the jump on vaccine sales down the road. If they're putting that much money into creating a vaccine for a variant created through gof... well that opens a lot of doors for nefarious activity and the possibility of someone intentionally releasing it goes up.
