Former CDC Director Accuses West of COVID Cover-Up.

Former CDC Director Accuses West of COVID Cover-Up. We have this from the Daily Mail.

Dr. Robert Redfield, told the Daily Mail in a four-hour interview published Saturday that American and British intelligence agencies conducted a counterintelligence operation on the public to quash narratives that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

That should come as no surprise to anyone.

He believes that Anthony Fauci, former presidential adviser and one of America’s most influential doctors, worked with the heads of US and UK research funding bodies to push a now-debunked theory of natural transmission from animals on sale in the Wuhan wet market to humans.

The purpose, he claims, was to cover up their support for controversial ‘gain-of-function’ research, which was banned in the US between 2014-2017. Any dissenting scientists were labelled as conspiracy theorists.Redfield also fears security services secretly ‘pulled a lot of the strings’ to protect their agents inside China’s military-linked laboratories, pointing to Fauci’s ties with intelligence since 2004 while running the $38billion US biosecurity programme.

‘The role of the intelligence community is much deeper than meets the eye. It was so effective. I think it was not just the Americans – the British had to be involved too.‘Intelligence agencies spent a lot of time and energy infiltrating Chinese research programmes, including military programmes, and they were trying to protect their assets as far as possible so did not want any investigations into that [Wuhan] laboratory.

Chinese workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists are said to have become infected with Covid and spread the virus around the city in 2019.

• Called Dr Fauci ‘a father of the virus’ for his long-standing promotion of gain-of-function research (in which an organism’s genes are altered to boost infectivity or other characteristics supposedly to help better understand future outbreaks) despite deep concern from other experts over the dangers.
• Said he believes the lab leak occurred between mid-August and September 2019, when scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) became infected and then spread the virus around the city.
• Argues China’s leaders covered up the outbreak from mid-September, when their military took full control of WIV – and on the same day the lab took virus databases offline and ordered a new ventilation system.
• Suspects the October 2019 Military World Games, when thousands of athletes converged on Wuhan, played a significant role in spreading the disease worldwide.
• Reveals he received fake anthrax and death threats after saying he suspected a possible lab leak – including from a leading US scientist who told him to kill himself.
• Now calls for misconduct investigations into what he says was Fauci’s cabal of international scientists who branded backers of the lab leak idea as conspiracy theorists, despite evidence emerging that several privately held similar concerns.

These are explosive claims by Redfield, 73, a prominent Aids researcher before he became the first virologist to lead the CDC, with its network of domestic and international offices, including one in China.
