Fauci described distinction between "bioweapons" and "biodefense" does not exist

In Dec. 2002, Dr. Anthony Fauci described how the distinction between "bioweapons" and "biodefense" does not exist, as later demonstrated by his gain-of-function research:

"I found myself again, never imagining that I would be doing this, needing to learn from people that I never thought I would be learning things from, namely bioweaponers.

People who are our own bioweaponers in the US decades ago, international figures, people from other countries, the UK, and also importantly, defectors particularly from the Soviet Union who had vast experience in the ways of biowarfare."
