Ex-CDC chief claims ‘substantial’ US role in Covid pandemic

Robert Redfield news

Several US government agencies helped to fund lab work that led to the creation of the coronavirus, according to Robert Redfield.

Robert Redfield, a former director of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has claimed that Covid-19 was artificially developed, and that the US played a “substantial” role in starting the pandemic.

Redfield, who led the agency under the administration of US President Donald Trump, made the claim in an interview that was released on November 14, but only drew media attention this week.

Speaking to author and podcaster Dana Parish, he suggested that the virus was “intentionally engineered as a part of a biodefense program.” “When you look at the accountability for China, their accountability is not in the lab work and the creation of the virus,” but in their failure to quickly report the incident to health authorities worldwide including the CDC, when they realized the virus was on the loose, he said.

However, the US “role was substantial,” he added. “They funded the research, both from NIH [National Institutes of Health], the State Department’s USAID and the Defense Department.”

According to the former CDC chief, the “scientific mastermind behind the research” was Dr. Ralph Baric, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on coronaviruses.

Redfield suggested that the professor, who works at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was “very involved in this research.”

“I think he probably helped create some of the original viral line”, Redfield said, admitting he did not have any proof. “I think there is a real possibility that the virus’s birthplace was Chapel Hill.”

Redfield previously said the Covid-19 pandemic, which killed more than seven million people worldwide and caused a global economic downturn, most likely started with a lab leak in Wuhan, China, and suggested that the debate on the virus’s origins was “squashed.” He has also criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for failing to hold Beijing accountable.

One of the prevailing theories of the origin of the Covid pandemic is that the virus was transmitted to humans from an animal, possibly a bat, at a food market. China has maintained that the virus is of natural origin, and has dismissed the laboratory leak theory as an attempt to smear the country for political reasons.

  1. Ah yes, the “lab leak”, “engineered virus” which was less deadly than the common flu, which it also made magically disappear in those years. Same old tricksters with tired old lies.

  2. Probably deliberately released by lab employee.
    Some like doing stuff like that, finding it funny they infected the whole world.

  3. Get the notion of the existence of a virus out of Your head
    It does not and never did exist
    Which is why the PCR Test result numbers had to be fudged
    Substitute bio-weapon and You’re over the target
    The whole thing is a fabrication and fraud a road the NZ Govt and all those implicated seem determined to carry on down in perpetuating and manifesting that lie

  4. Extensive publications/reporting on the subject on substack, DTNZ etc.
    All ” legal” work allowing it was implemented by the US MoD long before covid19.
    Of course it is a biological weapon as is also the so called “vax”.
    Same kind of lab’s in ukraine and along the russian borders. Appalling ” tests” on local population by so called “do-gooders”, killing many , as well in Africa exploiting the naïvety of the locals.
    The same crimes occuring in Africa.
    The USA are legally tied by international treaties not to implant that kind of research on its soil as they are forbidden.
    So the USA delocalise its filth and unauthorized misschief to poor countries and ” pay in cash ” for it.( like Guantanamo as the USA a “would be democratie” and so cannot emprison without trial).
    Bl**dy hypocrite WASP and AIPAC. All criminals

  5. January or February 2020 and RNZ broadcast a one-off piece quoting a renowned scientist stating that the genome of the virus showed clearly that it was of laboratory origin.
    It was easy to find the paper from Baric boasting about having genetically modified a bat coronavirus …and equally as easy to find the record of the moratorium placed on such research by the US government.
    The relationship between Baric and the ‘bat lady’ from WIV was stated at the time.
    And via alternate scientists and journalist the pieces were assembled.
    I suspect Trump had no idea of the direct US involvement in this … but I think a word was whispered in his ear as very suddenly he stopped ranting on about the “China virus”.
    And one of the most bizarre narratives of that time was that it was racist to point to the WIV as the possible source…but not the wet market.
    My guess is that the world PTB took a little time to assemble the facts…and once they realized that we were dealing with a pathogen that was engineered to rapidly spread and mutate they panicked.
    Cue all the extreme measures they subjected us all to.
    And they all conspired to cover up US responsibility.
    Interesting times.
