Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Robert Redfield told Newmax on Saturday that "no meaningful evidence" supports a COVID-19 "spillover" event or wet market origin pushed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and that the preponderance of evidence points to a lab leak.
"When people say all the evidence points towards spillover, I say, 'What evidence?'" Redfield told "Saturday Agenda." "There really is no meaningful evidence to support spillover; there's a lot of opinions for spillover, and there was a lot of people who put their thumb on the scale: Tony was one of them — Fauci and Collins," Redfield added. "They really put their thumb on the scale of this very rapidly.""In late January, early February, they got the scientific community to coalesce around a single hypothesis.
