Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield: "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."

Most of us here at FR knew this fact at the very beginning.

Accidental?

Accidental, incidental, purposeful. Hard to prove which. But, it was so obvious. Started in or near the Wuhan wet market, blocks away from a bat coronavirus research lab. Either spread there intentionally or just some lab worker who went there for lunch. The stories fibs that the establishment told were endless and intense.

And you know how to spot a liar? More often than not it's the one that protests too much. Like Fauci and the media etc calling an obvious hypothesis a racist conspiracy theory.

Give the benefit of the doubt it was an accidental leak... but once it was known that virologists in the lab were hospitalized and people in the town were getting very sick, instead of setting up a quarantine China sent residents all over their own country (lunar near year holiday weeks) and then around the world.

Yes I saw a clip where Mr Jordan interviewed him. He essentially agreed Fauci worked to cover things up. D2-EA1-AF0-C68-C-4801-9-E7-D-DDEA8428053-C

Why did he lie so long about the origin. “Trust the Experts”, my big toe.

I don’t trust Redfield any further than I can throw him. My gut tells me he has now become the man of the hour but I believe he is as crooked as the rest of the entire U.S. contingent. Ask yourself why is DoD in the middle of this Covid and Vax picture? Isn’t their mission NBC warfare on their ‘enemy.’ Perhaps we are their enemy now. What is DoD doing in the medical health arena? My gut tells me that his story is much more complicated and sinister than the current Redfield hypothesis.

Well add to your list, or enhance it at least... motive. China was not pleased with Trump over his tariffs, and neither was the intelligence community or the bureaucratic state actors at his mere gall of running and winning.

But I was merely making a rhetorical point. We can’t know for sure if it was intentional made to look accidental or otherwise. What we do know is plain as the nose on your face. A bat virus originates blocks away from a bat virus research lab from which several of the workers got so sick they were hospitalized. This was October/November 2019.

“What is DoD doing in the medical health arena?”

I heard that today.

Why would the DoD FUND Gain-of-Function to an arm of the PLA?

(Who were also employed at the Wuhan lab).

Let’s see.
A unique coronavirus gets started right next to a lab that does gain of function research on new coronaviruses.
Hmmm, I wonder if any possible connection is possible?

My theory is a low level lab worker took a animal from the lab and sold it at the wet market
If the Red Chinese idiots would have been transparent , maybe it could have been stopped. Assuming it was accidental .

Accidental?

Yeah, exactly how does he know that. I understand that scientists can differentiate something made in a lab from something naturally occurring in nature. I’m not sure how he knows it’s an accident.

I figure the best we can expect from all this is a total banning of gain-of-function research or whatever moniker they want to call it this week. Perhaps we can stop funding foreign research, particularly in China. But that’s unlikely. The CCP owns half of Washington.

Maybe intentional....but perhaps more incompetence on the part of the chicoms.

But I'm not ruling out intentionality on their part in cooperation with us.

It was a lab leak. It was not accidental. The only way that the bad orange man could be gotten rid of was if the roaring economy could be crashed.

Accidental lab leak from the American side, but fully intention from the CCP side.
