Sharri Markson exclusive on Chinese ‘bioweapons’ based on discredited 2015 book of conspiracy theories
Report in the Australian newspaper promoting Markson’s book on origins of Covid criticised as misleading and alarmist by China analysts
The Australian’s exclusive about a “chilling” document produced by Chinese military scientists is based on a discredited 2015 book containing conspiracy theories about biological warfare which is freely available on the internet.
Written by the paper’s investigations writer, Sharri Markson, the report last Saturday said Chinese military scientists “discussed the weaponisation of Sars coronaviruses five years before the Covid-19 pandemic” and predicted a third world war would be fought with biological weapons.
