I think you are not familiar with https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01731-3

And you are talking about something else.

No, I am talking about exactly that story.

From the Nature article you link to:

> The sequences were associated with a paper in which researchers used nanopore-sequencing technology to detect SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in samples from people. That study was published in the journal Small in June 2020, having been posted on bioRxiv in March of that year.

> the sequences Bloom recovered were not hidden: they are described in detail, with enough sequence information to know their evolutionary relationship to other early SARS-CoV-2 sequences, in the Small paper.
