Continuity mistake: Walter near the beginning of the film, is going over the ship's systems. He checks the fetuses inside a compartment and sees a dead one. As he removes it, the slot it came from is full of blood. He places it inside a container. Then as he hits the button to close the compartment, the slot has no blood in the next shot, and no implying he cleaned or decontaminated the slot. (00:08:00)

Answer: Regardless of his android passions, David was already experimenting with the bio-goo, and he deliberately used it to impregnate Dr. Elizabeth Shaw with a proto-face-hugger in "Prometheus." In "Covenant," we learn that David later killed Shaw and is experimenting with her body because her body tissues contain human-alien antibodies that are essential to David's work (which is creating a new generation of xenomorphs).
