Yeah it’s not that simple, wikipedia has a good summary:
Advocates of final destruction maintain that there is no longer any valid rationale for retaining the samples, which pose the hazard of escaping the laboratories, while opponents of destruction maintain that the samples may still be of value to scientific research, especially since variants of the smallpox virus may still exist in the natural world and thus present the possibility of the disease re-emerging in the future or being used as a bio-weapon.
Exactly, know your enemy, especially if you think you have defeated it.
We are about to see all the “defeated” diseases make a comeback due to politicians interfering the preventative healthcare. All in order to drive up revenue for big pharma and corporate healthcare from the increase in sick people.
You are not wrong, you're spirit is in the right place.
… Thanks, I guess?
Damn right my spirit is in the liquor cabinet.

Keep the virus data in a computer where it can’t escape from.

We’re not to the point that that’s possible.
