Ex-CDC Director: Covid-19 ‘likely’ a result of accidental lab leak

During the House of Select Coronavirus Pandemic Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the CDC told the Senate that, “the Coronavirus was more likely a result of an accidental lab leak than a result of a natural spillover event.”

Quoting his initial findings, Redfield said, “This finding is based primarily on the biology of the virus itself, including its high infectivity for human-to-human transmission and the rapid evolution of new variants, as well as on the “unusual actions” that occurred in or around Wuhan in 2019.”
