Former CDC Director Redfield To Congress: COVID-19 Created in Lab, U.S. Gov’t Funded Gain of Function Research

COVID-19 more likely was the result of an accidental lab leak than a result of a natural spillover event,” says Dr. Robert Redfield.

Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield testified during a Congressional hearing on the origins of COVID-19 that the virus most likely came from the Wuhan lab.

“Based on my initial analysis of the data, I came to believe and I still believe today that it indicates that COVID-19 more likely was the result of an accidental lab leak than a result of a natural spillover event,” Redfield told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Wednesday.

“In Sept. 2019, three things happened in that lab. One is they deleted the sequences. Highly irregular, researchers don’t like to do that,” Redfield said.

“The second thing is they changed the command and control from civilian to military. Highly unusual.”

“The third, which is very telling, is they let a contractor redo the ventilation system in that laboratory. Clearly, there was strong evidence that a significant event happened in that laboratory in September,” he added.

Redfield also testified that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) did indeed fund gain of function research through EcoHealth Alliance, a statement that directly refutes Dr. Anthony’s Fauci’s testimony to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in 2021.

“I think there’s no doubt NIH funded gain of function research,” Redfield said, adding other government agencies, including the State Department and Defense Department, used taxpayer dollars to aid in the funding.

This comes as government agencies and individuals are beginning to come clean about the origins of COVID coming from the Wuhan lab and not a wet market as the mainstream media and various organizations have been claiming without evidence for three years.
