1/In an already crazy year, this story was still bonkers to report. @vwang3 & I spent hrs watching right-wing shows. I joined Parler. Saw stuff I'd like to unsee. But I learned a lot abt how rumors get pushed into the mainstream convo w/the help of some in the Chinese diaspora.

2/We first heard about Yan in July when she went on Fox for the 1st time. She claimed that the Chinese govt had concealed H2H transmission & her HKU profs knew. It struck us as strange- we already knew about the cover-up & she didn't offer any concrete proof for her other claims.
