I think we could finish with a statement that failure to separate these issues has cause irreparable damage to understanding the origin and thus is exposing us to further risk from a far more likely source of epidemics.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    So, title something like: Separate Lab Safety assessment from the SARS-CoV-2 origin debate. *OR* Mitigating risksof pathogen research: the SARS-CoV-2 origin debate is a distraction. Could even get more general: Mitigatingpandemic risk and talk about stopping fur farming and regular testing of chicken/pig farms, but that would be diffuseand take away from the lab safety issue.
