There are many other sources for the same info, to satisfy curiosity & impress upon Saudis the urgency of the situation.

Poking the KSA government's public health bureaucracy to better cooperate with others, & honestly acknowledge the work of outsiders rather than stealing it to create a false sense of their own internal competence, might best serve the health of the Saudi people in the long run.

We are also talking about freedom and privacy for the population Saudi people, which extends to lives being potentially harmed - homosexuality is still illegal in Saudi Arabia after all.
