The claim that the virus that causes COVID-19 definitely was not from a laboratory, put forth in a paper quietly shaped by Dr. Anthony Fauci that was cited by other scientists who called the lab idea a “conspiracy theory,” was “antithetical to science,” a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director says.
“The purpose of science is to have rigorous debate about different hypotheses. I’ve never really experienced in my life where there was private telephone calls among scientists that had a decision on what position they would take collectively, and to see that position then published in a scientific journal like Lancet, to say that individuals that thought like myself, had a different scientific hypothesis, somehow had to be put down and viewed as conspirators, this is really antithetical to science,” Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency’s head until Jan. 20, 2021, said during a Jan. 26 appearance on Fox News.
Emails recently made public show that Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), played a key role in shaping a paper published by Nature in early 2020.
The authors, most of whom messaged repeatedly with Fauci, joined him on a teleconference shortly before the paper was published, and have since received millions from Fauci’s agency, claimed that their analyses “clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”
SARS-CoV-2 is another name for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
The Nature article was one of those cited by EcoHealth Alliance founder Peter Daszak and a separate group of scientists in an article later published in The Lancet. “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” wrote Daszak, whose group funneled money from Fauci’s agency to scientists in Wuhan, China, and the other authors.
Many experts later acknowledged there’s no clear evidence that the CCP virus has a natural origin, and some have said the bulk of the evidence points to it coming from the set of laboratories in Wuhan.
Redfield is one of them.
“I don’t think it’s biologically plausible that this virus emerged from a bat to some intermediate species into humans and became one of the most transmissible viruses that we know in human disease. This virus clearly had a detour and that detour was being educated how to infect human tissue in the laboratory. I think that’s the most plausible explanation,” he told Fox.
Dr. Francis Collins, Fauci’s boss when he was the head of the National Institutes of Health, and Fauci were trying to “protect science” by suppressing debate over the virus origins, Redfield posited. The problem is, “there’s very limited data” to support their position, he told Fox.
Asked if Fauci, who has been in his position since 1985, should be fired, Redfield demurred but said he did think Fauci should “reflect on this and then provide the science leadership that we need to move forward.”
“I have a lot of respect for him over the years. I think he needs to step back and not try to second guess and make things a way that he thinks the world can hear. We should just tell the truth,” Redfield said.
NIAID didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Redfield also said that he believes scientists will eventually solve the mystery of the origin of the virus.

What still baffles me how much Redfield resembles Medical Examiner Dr. Carver of Sandy Hook, who supposedly died a few years ago. Our reality presents some weird shit sometimes.
OMG good catch! I could only find pics of his left ear to compare to the one above but the bald headshape/size/age are way too rare and similar. Here’s a video showing his right ear. What do you think?
Sandy Hook is/was an outright lie. You are right about the semblance/ identity. More big sh*t collusion.

Good comment, ud.
ZeroHedge ran a story last week saying that if life insurance companies actually pay off for large numbers of dead policyholders the economy will go to hell in a hurry-sort of like a run on the banking system when the lifecos start having to sell their bonds to pay death benefits. Of course, the insurance mafia will work overtime to see that they get the same kind of protection from financial ruin that the vaccine peddlers have.
VAIDS – Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency – might turn out to be the primary killer, with that growing list of heart issues, palsy issues, graphene oxide blood vessel razor blades issues and more not far behind.
Plus, it is now a war on women with the skyrocketing rates of female blood disorders and miscarriages. All thanks to wise medical men like Tony Fauci and famous scientists like college dropout Bill Gates.
The only “science” that has been at play over the past two years has been POLITICAL SCIENCE. So long as people continue dancing around the obvious truths that this entire thing was planned from the start – paid for by grants from Fauxi, released in China on purpose, propagandized by the mainstream media and governments according to a pre-written script, and was designed to destroy the global economy, consolidate government power, deliver massive wealth to bigPharma and others, and overthrow the will of the people and the US government, there is no point in listening to their comments about the fringes of what happened.
I threw away a lot of blood, sweat and tears in disgust at the entire US scientific establishment. It really is horrific to contemplate how utterly corrupt this country is. By the time you eliminate all of the corrupt institutions and their minions, how many Americans are even left?
About 200,000. The beaches will be much nicer as will be the views of the Rockies, etc.
Thinking it is a lot more than 200K. But wondering who amongst us gets to decide who goes and who stays?
There is no legitimate evidence the covid sars2 virus is natural. There is a lot of biochemistry to suggest otherwise but it has been carefully suppressed. wonder what his payoff was? Oh yeah, he’s director of the CDC.
