Former Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Director Robert Redfield sounded off on Dr. Anthony Fauci's remarks from a February interview on coronavirus.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is accompanied by Stephen Colbert to receive his COVID-19 booster shot on October 5, 2022.
Redfield cited a new report from two Twitter files journalists who reported the first three humans to come down with COVID were three scientists involved in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Hubei, China. Redfield called the failure to commence a serious scientific investigation into the dueling hypotheses — a lab leak versus a natural animal-to-human transmission — at the Bethesda, Md.-based National Institutes of Health in early 2020"one of the biggest disappointments" of the pandemic.
He said people like himself who wanted to probe the lab leak theory further were called conspiracy theorists, despite his protestations that unilaterally naming one theory to be fact is"antithetical to science."
