The origins of Covid-19 are being explored by a US congressional committee in a first hearing in Washington.
The panel, formed by a new Republican majority in the US House of Representatives, is aiming to establish how the coronavirus emerged.
Some US officials have concluded that Covid "most likely" came from an unintended lab leak in Wuhan, China.
But many scientists point out there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab.
And the White House has said there is no consensus across the US government on the virus's origins.
Dr Redfield was an early proponent of the lab leak theory, and used his appearance on Wednesday to restate his opposition to so-called gain of function research, in which viruses are manipulated to become more infectious in lab environments.
He told the committee it was "not scientifically plausible" to him that the virus had natural origins.
"It was told to me that they wanted a single narrative, and that I obviously had a different point of view," he said.
Some studies suggest the virus made the leap from animals to humans in Wuhan, possibly at the city's seafood and wildlife market.
The market is near a world-leading virus laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which conducted research into coronaviruses.
Dr Redfield told the committee he believed the US taxpayer had funded gain of function research at the Wuhan institute.

Anthony Fraudxi will NEVER be held accountable.
MARK. MY. WORD.
Fauxi will NOT show up for a hearing now!
There is no consensus about anything in the US government. These dopes actually think the statement from the White House has any meaning.
Oh cool. The prognostications of a pessimistic pu$$y. Everyone’s favorite! Like the piece of schiff on your sports team that says ‘we’re gonna lose’. And then- ‘I told ya so!’
You gotta be a hoot at parties. Keep this crap to yourself. Unless you can explain how it helps.
GFY
Oh he will, one day he will be in the same place Mengele resides.
No accountability for vaccine coercion or lockdowns or mask orders in these hearings that’s for sure.
The ‘origin’ of Covid is well established... The real question is... Who do we hold responsible for the failed, costly and freedom squelching response to Covid?
Covid was a mild flu like virus that mostly killed people who were 70 and over... Instead of concentrating on saving them, the government and authorities instead tried to scare the hell out of the general population, forced people to submit to ineffective and unnecessary vaccine shots that cost billions and billions of wasteful taxpayer funds, restricted peoples freedoms without warrant and enforced Communist and NAZI like controls and laws that proved without a doubt that freedom as we knew it, was merely an illusion.
The architects of these measures within each country should be rounded up, put on trial and jailed indefinitely for their actions that can only be described as treasonous towards humanity and democracy worldwide. Then laws should be established to prevent a repeat of this nonsense from ever happening again.
