Redfield warned Fauci not to 'give terrorists recipe' to modify bird flu to kill 5%-50% of infected

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield's biggest fear for a future pandemic is a genetically manipulated bird flu, given that NIH-funded scientists in 2012 published instructions for making such a pathogen cross the "species barrier" to humans, a highly unlikely result from viral evolution.

"I didn't think we needed to give terrorists a recipe" for modifying a bird flu to kill 5%-50% of people it infects, Dr. Redfield told "Just the News, No Noise," recalling his argument to then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci — his future antagonist on COVID origins and gain-of-function research — against publishing the research.

"I think it's a miracle that no one's used that yet," Redfield said. "But I do think we're at high risk for laboratory-created bird flu that will have high pathogenicity for man," given the "highly inadequate" biosecurity of dozens of labs handling dangerous pathogens.

The "probability of a spillover event" from a lab "is very, very high," he warned, "and I suspect that in the next decade we will have, unfortunately, a major pandemic as a consequence of either gain-of-function research or bioterrorism."

Insane mad scientists need to be prevented from running these schemes.

[Boogieman]

This is inevitable with the way they are doing the research. They research how to make the viruses more deadly (which we used to call “weaponization” before political correctness kicked in to destroy the clarity of language). Then, they have to publish those results, so they can justify their funding and get more funding. And once they publish their results, anyone can take that “recipe” for weaponization and do what they want with it.

We were better off when we just did this research in secret labs that were fully funded by the government, because then there was no impetus to publish anything. We didn’t even publicly admit that we did the research, much less publicize what the findings were.

Fauci needs to be told this?

[Menehune56]

I’m wondering why this information is getting publicity. Is a new plandemic being scheduled?

[null and void]

Yes. Election next year...

Fauci needs to be told this?

Mr

” it would be irresponsible for me not to “

do gain of function

needs to investigated, charged and put on trial

[OKSooner]

Yes, just like kingpin drug dealers and other megacriminals, they need to be fixed in some sort of way that they can no longer continue to do what they’ve been doing up ‘til now.

[OKSooner]

“After the fair trial”, mind you.

""I didn't think we needed to give terrorists a recipe" for modifying a bird flu to kill 5%-50% of people it infects"

The latter number would leave the Deep State without protection. Bring it.

[cowboyusa]

Thought that said, Renfield.😀😀

[Arcadian Empire]

I am sure that Fauci is involved in ongoing gain-of-function experiments.

[Arcadian Empire]

The TV series was better than the movie.

[moovova]

I need to look the series up. The movie was definitely strange.

[Arcadian Empire]

It’s on Hulu.

[moovova]

Thanks.

fauci isn’t satisfied with 30 million plus dead by his hand. fauci will kill more because nobody will stop him
