El ex director de los CDC Robert R. Redfield, declaró Fox News que sigue sin estar de acuerdo con la hipótesis defendida por el Dr. Anthony Fauci, asesor deBiden COVID , y otros que afirman que el coronavirus evolucionó de forma natural y no emanó de un laboratorio chino.
Fauci recently told Fox News he has an "open mind" but still believes the natural-occurrence hypothesis, after previously dismissing the lab-leak theory as a transient "shiny object" assertion.
On Monday, Redfield told "The Story" that while different scientists will come to different conclusions, he firmly believes the SARS-CoV-2 virus emanated from the Wuhan Institute of Technology in Hubei, China.

Comparó COVID con anteriores coronavirus que se convirtieron en epidemias, como el Síndrome Respiratorio de Oriente Medio (MERS) y el Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Severo (SARS) de hace una década aproximadamente, señalando que ninguno de los dos contagios "aprendió" realmente a transmitirse de persona a persona de la misma forma.
"So it's really exceptional that this virus is one of the most infectious viruses for man. And I still argue that's because it was educated how to infect human tissue," Redfield said.

Redfield added the same Wuhan lab was the subject of a report in 2014 when it claimed to have trained bat-borne viruses to bind to humans' receptors.
"I'm disappointed in the NIH for not leading an objective evaluation from the beginning," he added. "I think it really is antithetical to the science where they took a very strong position that people like myself who are somehow conspiratorial just because we have a different scientific hypothesis."
Redfield lamentó la politización de la pandemia, en cómo se presionó contra los científicos que buscaban enfoques puramente "objetivos" para estudiar su origen.
"I've been very disappointed in the scientific community led by NIH that has really dug their heels in from the beginning to try to minimize any of us that have a different hypothesis," he said.
