Former CDC chief Robert Redfield : I didn't expect death threats from fellow scientists over lab-leak theory

A months long Vanity Fair investigation, interviews with more than 40 people, and a review of hundreds of pages of U.S. government documents, including internal memos, meeting minutes, and email correspondence, found that conflicts of interest, stemming in part from large government grants supporting controversial virology research, hampered the U.S. investigation into COVID-19’s origin at every step. In one State Department meeting, officials seeking to demand transparency from the Chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to U.S. government funding of it.

I’m more surprised you didn’t get any from the victims of your mass murder. Especially people who were murdered in the old folks homes when they put infected people there and you didn’t say a word.

Sometimes following the science requires extreme measures.

You’ve got to be prepared to break a few eggs if you want to follow the science.

I would expect it

Its a paradox, but “academics” are often the most ideological, vicious and stupid people you will ever meet.

Americans are firm believers in the cult of “scientism” which makes “scientists” somehow greater than mere mortals.

Our country is hollowed out by corruption. It’s pervasive.

But, since the schools and the media were corrupted long ago, a large number of citizens are walking around thinking everything is fine. They are constantly told that everything is fine, so that means everything is fine. Right?

i would trust a few heads on spikes
more than i trust what is sold as “science” today
regarding FauXi’s CDC-HIV-Prion-pangolinplacenta spike
on his Gain-of-Function patented virus and “vaccine”.

Redfield strikes me as the bureaucrat in charge in name only.

It does not appear he knew half of what was happening below him.

In a moment of befuddled honesty he found out that he was “da man” only on paper.

The entire medical community is either going to remove corrupt political influence from their professional decisions or they're going to reduce themselves to nothing more than political lackeys.

Arguably they already made that choice when they refused to remove from the profession those who murder unborn children.

Mengele was a doctor. Fauci still is.

This is the one conspiracy theory that I do find convincing.

No, Redfield knew and spoke out about universal masking to reduce severity of virus and deaths. But more importantly to build natural immunity and a quick end to pandemic. Such a policy would also have reduced most needs for the great shutdown.

Redfield was left on taskforce, but silenced! He was America’s friend, but Fauci and group’s enemy.

Well said. And true.

It is about money. He was costing these scientists money and they in turn were killing people by telling lies about known nearly free medicine that would save lives.

That is one reason leftist ideas like "systemic racism" take hold on college campuses. In that environment and among the liberals inhabiting it there actually is systemic racism, bigotry, elitism and prejudice in some places.

Creating privilege and keeping great numbers of people from being able to succeed more easily is one job of many academic institutions. Why else would elite universities and colleges seek to limit the number of students they educate?
