This is an action Dick Nixon took that he has never been recognized for. This is opposite to what was being done over the last decades by Fauci and Francis Collins and Baric etc. that has culminated in COVID virus (SARS-CoV-2). Nixon would be turning in his grave if he knew what was done in the last couple of decades and it is likely that he was very very correct as to why those programs had to be stopped. In the wrong hands, with the wrong intent and motives, bad things could be done and happen with these biological agents. It did here with COVID.
The ‘why;’ is becoming clearer now.

His decision had the desired affect as the the Biological Weapons Convention was drafted by the UN and opened for signature in 1972. On this day — August 10 — in 1972, RN sent the Biological Weapons Convention to the U.S. Senate for formal ratification.” I believe this Convention will enhance the security of the United States and the world community,” he said. “It will help ensure that scientific achievements in the field of biology will be devoted not to destruction but to the service of mankind.”
