It just seems like a lazy plot device that makes the doc's actions pointless until our survivors come and imperils them.

I got the feeling that he would have tried to take the samples and continue the work off site of the CDC. I think it was the samples being destroyed that gave him a release from his promise. The CDC just allowed him to have more hope to carry out his promise.
