Fauci Disputes Claim Former CDC Chief Excluded From COVID Discussion Over Lab Leak Theory Support

Redfield claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci was expelled from a conference call to discuss COVID-19’s origins in 2020. Redfield stated that he believed the virus was a laboratory leak and was therefore excluded from Dr. Fauci’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Redfield was the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and testified before the House Select Subcommittee regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Redfield testified that he was not part of a conference call with Fauci and other scientists. Fauci used to be the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and oversaw much of U.S. responses to COVID-19. Redfield explained that the conference call was organized by Jeremy Farrar (director of the British charity Wellcome Trust) in February 2020.

Redfield, who supported the idea of the COVID-19 epidemic being caused by a lab failure, spoke out during the hearing. Fauci had already shared his support for this theory back in January 2020.

Redfield responded to a question asking why he was not on the conference call in February 2020. “was told to me that they wanted a single narrative and that I obviously had a different point of view.”

During a Fox News interview on Friday, Fauci refuted Redfield’s claims.

“He is totally and unequivocally incorrect in what he’s saying, that I excluded him,” Fauci spoke out about Redfield’s remarks regarding the February 2020 conference call for COVID-19. “I had nothing to do with who would be on that call.”

Fauci stated that Redfield’s conference call was organized by evolutionary virologists to discuss the possibility of COVID-19 being a genetically engineered viral.

“Another point that is important, [Redfield] said, in his own mind, that he was kept out because he was of the opinion that [COVID-19] might be a lab leak,” Fauci said. “Half the people on the call were of the opinion that it might be a lab leak. So his rationale of why he thought he was excluded is an invalid rationale, so it’s really unfortunate that he made those statements.”

Fauci said it “would have been okay” Redfield to be available on the February 2020 Call “but I didn’t put him or take him off.”

Lab Leak Theory

Redfield, who testified during the Wednesday House hearing that he believed that the lab leak theory was the most likely scenario COVID-19 is the source of the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

“This conclusion is based primarily on the biology of the virus itself, including the rapid high infectivity for human-to-human transmission, which would then predict rapid evolution of new variants as well as a number of other important factors, which also include the unusual actions in and around Wuhan in the fall of 2019,” Redfield spoke to lawmakers.

Fauci claimed that COVID-19 is “totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.” He supports natural spread theory over lab leak theory. You were sent a message of gratitude Dr. Peter Daszak is the president of EcoHealth Alliance. He had ties with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This was a possible origin point for COVID-19 as a part of the lab leak theory.

Republican legislators also made allegations about Fauci recently “prompted” Drafting a research paper entitled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which was published March 2020, and that asserted COVID-19 to be “not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

Fauci changed his mind on the lab leak theory in May 2021. He told PolitiFact that it was a lie. “not convinced” COVID-19 was naturally created.

In recent weeks, the laboratory leak theory has received renewed support after the U.S. Department of Energy And Christopher Wray, FBI Director The theory that COVID-19 was a result of a laboratory leak has received support.
