Except once you get past the completely nuts project with the bats if you read the grant closely they are more interested that it would be difficult to produce an effective vaccine than actually trying to produce one in the mouse model after producing something similar to COVID.

they were working on inoculation strategies. some of it, particularly daszak's ideas about introducing GoF enhanced virus into wild bat colonies was barking mad, but it was about immunology, not weapons.
does not nesc make it any less dangerous, but that was the goal.
That looked like one project, the COVID like virus in mice looked like another. The focus of the mouse project seemed different to my reading.

I'd put a big ol' "officially" in front of that thar immunology word, and then after that word weapons, a nice qualifying: (that we know of, yet).
