In an email to Bloomberg from the author known as Durden, he said he believed the suspension was "unjustified, and likely motivated by reasons other than the stated ones."
"We are confident that we did not violate any of the stated Twitter terms: we neither incited harassment, nor did we 'dox' the public official, whose contact information is as of this moment listed on the Wuhan institute's website," he wrote in the email.
"It is likely that we will continue to see more cases in the United States in the coming days and weeks, including some limited person-to-person transmissions.
