Not sure why Fauci continues to obfuscate about the origins of the virus… But we can all speculate why. It is nice to see Dr. Redfield not going for Fauci's BS.

"Former CDC Director Fires Back at Fauci's 'Natural' Claim"

"I'm disappointed in the [National Institutes of Health] for not leading an objective evaluation from the beginning," Redfield (former director of the CDC) told the outlet. "I think it really is antithetical to the science where they took a very strong position that people like myself who are somehow conspiratorial just because we have a different scientific hypothesis."

A reason why the Wuhan lab leak theory has not been fully recognized, Redfield argued, is due to the politicization of the pandemic response and the pressure that was heaped on scientists who sought objective approaches while studying the origins of COVID-19.

"I've been very disappointed in the scientific community led by [National Institutes of Health] that has really dug their heels in from the beginning to try to minimize any of us that have a different hypothesis," he said.

In contrast to what Redfield is saying above, right on time for election season, we now have a concerted propaganda push to craft the narrative that the US Government was not complicit in the development of SARS-CoV-2. Note that the conclusions are far from definitive- "Likely" according to the authors. This article in Science has been followed by a concerted PR push, which is often the best way to detect propaganda.
