One wonders how many people even knew he was a member. There is speculation that his suspension may be connected to the development of the vaccine and possible problems with it that have not been revealed.
The first outlet to break this news was
Business Insider which reported the story on April 28th. The story was picked up next day by the Hong Kong newspaper of record, the
South China Morning Post (SCMP) and subsequently reported by
