LjLit was designed and advertised from the start as a thing that would have an end (originally, end of 2022, in Italy they specifically said they'd remove all data after 2022, not sure what happened with Google and Apple in general but I think I remember they said that too at first)23:19

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): Basically, Dr. Fauci was asked to comment on the House hearings.

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): I do agree with Dr. Fauci that "we must all keep an open mind" on the question of how SARSCoV2 got to Wuhan. But I think it's confusing and may appear to be deflective to try to sweep researcher transport of bat viruses under the natural process rug. → https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/163504457972779008523:30
LjLso well, i would also object that this scenario that he describes here with a virus being brought to a lab and then leaving it would be "natural origin" and not a lab leak23:37
LjLhttps://youtu.be/emPQMmh18Hk?t=46923:37
LjLi agree with Lin, most people would call it a lab leak, and really here it is what most people would call it that matters, because in democracies we should collectively decide what is too dangerous to be done. i can't accept that virologists will just do their stuff while knowing it could lead to a pandemic and i have no say in it, however small23:38
