I don’t know if on the margin more medical innovation increases or decreases the risk of global biocatastrophes. We still don’t know for sure if covid was a lab leak, and covid was fairly mild as pandemics go (and also afaik not deliberately engineered for virulence).
EDIT: I do think this was the strongest section of OP, and correspondingly this is the weakest section in my comment.
