Former CDC Chief Claims the US Played a ‘Substantial’ Role in the Covid Pandemic

Robert Redfield, the former director of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has made explosive claims about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. In a recent interview with author and podcaster Dana Parish, Redfield suggested that the virus was artificially created, alleging that it was “intentionally engineered as part of a biodefense program” by China. However, he emphasized that the United States also played a “substantial” role in the pandemic’s onset.

Redfield argued that the US government funded critical research related to the virus, including contributions from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the State Department’s USAID, and the Department of Defense. His statements have reignited controversy over the origins of Covid-19 and the role various countries may have played in its development and spread.
