THREAD: Some of my stories about Canada’s National Microbiology Lab (NML) have been distorted to create a #coronavirus conspiracy theory. One of the 1st mentions was Saturday on Twitter. Businessman Kyle Bass claimed this involved “a husband and wife Chinese spy team”: (1/11) In the tweet, which was shared over 12,000 times, he linked to a story I broke in July 2019, revealing that a researcher, her husband, and some of their graduate students, were escorted out of the NML in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation. cbc.ca/1.5211567 (2/11)
