Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC director, discussed the ongoing debate over the COVID-19 pandemic’s origins during a lengthy interview this past weekend with Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at the NYU Langone Medical Center, and a Fox News contributor.
Redfield argued COVID-19’s efficient human-to-human spread contradicted the behavior of other deadly coronaviruses with similar profiles, such as SARS and MERS, which first reached humans through animal contact but spread at a much slower pace.
“When I said before that I didn’t think it was biologically plausible that COVID-19 went from a bat to some unknown animal into man and now had become one of the most infectious viruses,” Redfield said, “That’s not consistent with how other coronaviruses have come into the human species. And, it does suggest that there’s an alternative hypothesis that it went from a bat virus, got into a laboratory, where in the laboratory, it was taught, educated, it evolved, so that it became a virus that could efficiently transmit human to human.”
Redfield, a virologist, expressed disappointment in what he described as a “lack of openness” within the scientific community to “pursue both hypotheses.”
“I’m just giving my best opinion as a virologist, and I don’t think it’s plausible that this virus went from a bat to an animal – we still don’t know that animal – and then went into humans and immediately had learned how to be human-to-human transmissible to the point of now causing one of the greatest pandemics we’ve had in the history of the world,” Redfield added.
Redfield also expressed doubt about the integrity of the World Health Organization.
“Clearly, they were incapable of compelling China to adhere to the treaty agreements that they have on global health because they didn’t do that. Clearly, they allowed China to define the group of scientists that could come and investigate,” Redfield said. “That’s not consistent with their role.”
Has he seen the bats in the Wuhan lab yet? Watch:

Notable but depressing evidence of how far C-Span has fallen, currently airing a “book discussion” of work by Nina Burleigh, “Virus” a not even-thinly-veiled rant vs. All Things Trump and blaming him for Everything. In her version Drs Redfield and Birx are irrational religious fundamentalists intent on denying the virus!
Question will be if C-Span permits access to any of the other authors questioning the globalist/WHO (China puppets) version of things? So far it appears they have canceled Alex Berenson’s courageous–and so far appearing to be correct–anti-orthodoxies.
Redfield was not saying these things a year ago when we needed him to. He is recreating history.

There should be no debate on where Covid-19 came from. This is one of the greatest cover up attempts in American History. Fauci was doing Biological Warfare “Research” at the Wuhan Lab with US Taxpayer Dollars. Doing this kind of research on the foreign soil of a hostile nation is nothing less than Treason. Many people in the Bureaucrat Deep State are involved and they all know they deserve a date with the hangman. They are perpetrating this cover up because if they don’t hang together, they most certainly will be hanged one at a time. The Rosenberg Couple were put to death for just giving a hostile power Weapons of Mass Destruction secrets. Fauci and Friends not only provided the secrets to a hostile Government, but the Virus was released on the World killing well over 3 million People to date. Before this is over Fauci will be responsible for more deaths than the Nazis were with their death camps. Dr. Fauci will go down in History with the likes of Dr. Josef Mengele, Dr. H.H. Holmes, and Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
The burden of proof of the origin of the virus rests with the liars who insist it came from nature, with no evidence whatsoever. There’s lots of evidence it came from the lab.
