'I was threatened and ostracized': Ex-CDC director Robert Redfield received death threats from scientist colleagues after he publicly said he believed COVID-19 originated in a lab
DAILY MAIL ^ | 3 June 2021 | CHRISTOPHER EBERHART

Ex-CDC director Robert Redfield said during a CNN interview that he believed the coronavirus was made in a lab and escaped.

Since then, he received death by fellow scientists, including some he used to call friends, he told Vanity Fair ...

'I expected it from politicians. I didn't expect it from science,' Redfield said..

The coronavirus origin has been at the forefront of debate since last week when Biden ordered intelligence officials to 'redouble' efforts to establish the origin..

It heated up on Tuesday when Dr. Anthony Fauci's emails were published on the Washington Post and Buzzfeed ..

The former director of the Centers for Disease Control received death threats from fellow scientists after he said during a TV interview that he believed COVID-19 originated in a lab,..

Robert Redfield, who served as the CDC director under Donald Trump when the pandemic began, told CNN on March 26 that he thought the most likely 'etiology of this pathogen in Wuhan was from a laboratory - you know, escaped.'

...

Redfield told Vanity Fair that he thought it was odd that family clusters were getting sick, and Gao later told Redfield that many cases had nothing to do with the market.

That's when it became apparent the virus was jumping from person to person, and Redfield told Vanity Fair he immediately thought of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

He wanted to send researchers to the facility to rule it out, but the Chinese didn't allow it,..

'A team could rule it out as a source of the outbreak in just a few weeks, by testing researchers there for antibodies,' according to Vanity Fair.

IMHO these government “scientists” fear for their jobs if the complete truth of their activites became known.

If he doesn’t give names, why should we believe him?

Originally developed in the US and then moved and finished in Wuhan.

It is definitely on brand. But if he won’t give names, one has to ask why. Is he lying? Is he protecting someone? Is someone paying him? Is he both afraid and too dumb to identify the threat so he can get protection?

I can see how thousands of Democrats are angry with him. They cannot have the truth come out.

THIS ^

DS/DNC/RATs most likely collaborated with the CCP on the planned release date. Fauxi was their “go-between man” on coordinating the final development and the planned release.
There are a whole bunch of folks that need to be publicly hanged if this is ever proven and gets out to the public. Wouldn’t be surprising to see old Fauxi come up “Vince Fostered” or “Seth Riched” any day now.

I reckon most people who issue death threats refrain from advertising their names.

Don’t forget the lab in Winnipeg that helped.

Fair enough, and it’s always better to find out if something is phony, especially if that something would help the good guys.

But still, I’m going to enjoy the schadenfreude for at least a couple of days as the media desperately try to contain the damage.

yes and WOKE is another pleasant word for Marxists. These people need to be called out on who they really are instead of “liberal” or “woke”

because the left’s religion is communism/marxism. the history of which shows us they are power hungry control freaks who use violence as their tool. Leftists destroy everything and have a thirst for mass murder. Look at the Mao, Stalin types throughout history.
