This is exactly what I mean about insinuation.
Spell out specifically what you think a deleted database proves and the sequence of events that would lead to it being deleted.
The timeline of this stuff is extremely important to disproving some of the sillier claims. This database that's a "Central Fact" was deleted several months before the first case of a virus with an unmitigated R0 of >5.
They would have to know there was a novel coronavirus spreading for months before the rest of the world. Aside from the rest of the obvious ways everyone else would know, DNA phylogeny of all known cases disproves this.
The conceit falls apart immediately.

And at least as of the beginning of this year, it's still not been made available to other researchers.
