CDC Director Blames China and Western Scientists for Concealing COVID Origins

Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield condemns China’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that the Chinese government bears serious blame for concealing the early spread of the virus and deliberately violating international health regulations. He contends that China misled the world with a false wet market narrative, obstructed global investigators, and knowingly suppressed critical information during the virus's crucial early stages.

Redfield emphasizes that U.S. and European scientists involved in gain-of-function research share responsibility for the origins of the virus, highlighting that China was not solely to blame.
