In an interview in early 2021 with CNN, Redfield, a longtime virologist, said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/former-cdc-director-covid-19-escaped-from-wuhan-virology-lab_3750784.html\">virus emerged from the lab<\/a>, later sparking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/mkt_morningbrief\/former-cdc-director-received-death-threats-from-scientists-for-supporting-wuhan-lab-leak-theory_3843153.html\">death threats against him<\/a> and his family from prominent scientists.<\/p>\n<p>And Fauci \u201cmay have overplayed his hand when he was so aggressive with Congress, saying that he was never involved in funding gain of function research,\u201d said Redfield, referring to the controversial research to\u00a0genetically alters an organism to enhance certain biological functions including transmissibility. \u201cThere\u2019s too much evidence that\u2019s just not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFauci knows that he\u2019s funded this research. He also knows that he misled Congress. They\u2019re in protection mode,\u201d he told Paul Thacker\u2019s Disinformation Chronicle newsletter for Substack.<\/p>\n<p>During hearings, Fauci has clashed with several Republican lawmakers and namely, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) over whether his agency provided funding to a third-party group to carry out gain-of-function research at the Wuhan laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Fauci told a congressional panel that the\u00a0National Institutes of Health did not provide money to researchers in Wuhan. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/newly-released-documents-show-nih-funded-gain-of-function-research-in-china-experts_4061437.html\">documents released<\/a> later that year revealed the agency funded gain-of-function research in China on bat coronaviruses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, he clearly misled Congress,\u201d Redfield said. \u201cAnd then he went over the top taking on Rand Paul and others in an offensive way for a public servant.
