if someone makes an extremely deadly virus, id much rather we have spent the money investing in a cure than trying to track down who made it.

The point is, you may want that money to be spent stopping that someone before he makes / releases it, and that seems to be at odds with privacy concerns.

the point still stands. if we were to invest in cures then someone making a weapon would be a moot point because their weapon wouldnt do anything.
