Also notice the last bit in the article:
The University of Edinburgh recently turned down an Freedom of Information request from The Telegraph asking to see Prof Rambaut’s replies, claiming “disclosure would be likely to endanger the physical or mental health and safety of individuals”.
James Comer, the Republican congressman who secured the unredacted emails, said it showed that experts like Dr Fauci had taken the Wuhan lab leak theory “much more seriously” than they had let on.
Sir Jeremy has been approached for comment but had not replied at the time of publication.
Basically journalists and politicians scour thousands of emails to find a selected quote that fit their sensationalist agenda, and then ask the persons involved for a comment. When they then explain how the quote is out of context, doesn't say what journalist thinks it says, or that new information is out. Then they get harrassed and bullied by a (mostly) online mob.
