That depends on what you decide to do about it. 1) I've seen people call for a ban on research at all on BSL-3+ pathogens. 2) If you "accept that it was a lab leak" you are implicitly accepting that it was not a natural event - which is going to cause you to focus more on long-tailed, low-probability events like lab leaks, and less on zoonotic transmission events. Which if you're wrong would be a serious problem.
